Spring has sprung! It’s time to put away the dark colors and heavy foundation, because the spring makeup trends for 2014 are all about fresh faced and fabulous. Trust in these beauty tips from the Staten Island makeup mavens at A.F BENNETT to sport this season’s hottest trends.

Start with a light makeup foundation and go from there. This season, be ahead of the fashion game by stocking up on a few key pieces that are sure to make you stand out this spring. Draw all eyes to yours with a rich, bold blue shadow that has been spotted all over the runways. Inky lined lids and variations of the cat eye we all know and love make for a sultry, irresistible evening look. Keep lips subtle when going for these fierce eye trends. Alternatively, when creating a lip statement, make it matte. Keep overall makeup minimal, but up the edge factor with bright orange hues. Feeling pink? Perk up your pout with a bright berry or cotton candy lipstick.

Glowing skin is in. One of our favorite looks for our transition to warm weather begins with dewy skin, so try mixing your foundation or tinted moisturizer with an illuminator for a sheer finish. Apply bronzer to hollows of cheeks, nose and forehead for a radiant and sun kissed appeal. Use a peachy blush on the apples of cheeks for a touch of color. A swipe of mascara and a dab of lip balm complete this simple yet stylish spring look.

Neatly manicured nails are a must to complete any spring look. After nails are painted a base color, use an accent color to outline around the cuticle or create a half moon at the nail bed. For flashy fingers, try these ideas using bright colors. Keep it classy with a nude base and white accents.

Schedule an appointment in Staten Island with a talented makeup artist at A.F. BENNETT for an application and tutorial on how to pull off these stunning styles. Our manicurists will recreate these fabulously unique and eye-catching nail designs so you can sport the styles spotted on the runway. While you’re visiting, pick up the necessary products to recreate these hot spring makeup trends for 2014 right in your own home.
