Beauty 101: Avoid a Spring Make-Up Meltdown

Make-Up Meltdown by lyndseycamille featuring Shiseido

Along with the warm temps of spring comes lots of pollen and allergies. Pollen and allergies mean a lot of watering eyes resulting in a make-up meltdown! However, transitioning your make-up for a simple, every day spring look is the easiest fix! Below are three tips and tricks on how to avoid a spring make-up meltdown.

1. Instead of focusing on the eye make-up which will easily melt off, create a bold lip. A bold lip can pull together an entire beauty look and make it stand out. Since the temperatures are continuously warming up, be sure to use a lip balm to protect lips from getting sunburned before applying lipstick and lipgloss. 
2. Defined brows are just as bold as lipstick. Bold brows can frame your face giving off a fierce, clean, and fresh faced look. So, put down those tweezers, unless plucking stray hairs, and use shadow and eyebrow pencils to create a nice eyebrow shape. 
3. In order to still make your eyes pop, try a water-proof mascara paired with a smudgier eyeliner. Before applying mascara, use a eyelash curler to define the lashes and keep them out of eyes. Also, utilize a lighter foundation with sunscreen to protect skin.

Hair 101: The Versatility of a Ponytail

Selena Gomez

Keep it simple, causal, and voluminous with a pretty pony like Selena Gomez! Try curling your hair then smoothing it up into a ponytail or keep it even simpler by using your natural hair texture. Make it your own by deciding how high or low you want the ponytail to go and even add in some hair accessories.

Kiernan Shipka

Side ponytails add more fun to the everyday ponytail. Try a cute ponytail like Kiernan Shipka's by smoothing hair to the side, even adding a bit of a side bang. Leave out a small section of the hair, secure the bigger section with a ponytail holder. Then wrap the smaller section of hair around the ponytail holder. Add some extra fun by curling the ends of the ponytail.

Emma Roberts

Slicked back ponytails are perfect for more formal occasions while still being able to stay casual. Simply use a serum to make your hair slick and smooth so that it will easily stay sleek and chic all day. Only slick your hair back in the direction the ponytail will go, whether high or low.

Fashion 101: Spring Footwear

Springtime is all about the shoe! However, it can get pretty repetitive if you only wear the same pair of strappy sandals everyday. So, swap your sandals for printed flats and wedges, colorful heels, and cutout booties. Printed flats are perfect for pairing with a casual outfit because they can pull the look together and keep up with comfort. Wedges will make any girls legs appear lean and long, so they look perfect paired with dresses, skirts, and jeans. Colorful heels are great to pair with a more dressed up, formal look because they add a great pop of color. Cutout booties help to keep in mind that spring can still have its chilly days and we need something to keep our feet warm.
