Must-Have Spring Makeup!

What are your absolute must-haves for spring and summer? What trends would you like to try this season? What new products are you excited about?

I love bright lipsticks and glosses for spring and summer! I'd really like to try the Too Faced Melted Liquid Lipsticks--melted violet and melted fuchsia have my heart  :wub:   I also want to find a bright colored eyeliner for summer! How about you?

I'm a huge fan of the colored eyeliners that have been big this spring.  I really want to get the mint, canary and fuchsia Stila smudge sticks! 

I also just discovered the world of indie nail polish and I want it all! Especially holos and thermals, omg. 

I got on board with the orange lips trend this spring! :wub: I have the Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Blood Orange, and that plus a little bronzer will make me look like I actually have a tan!

yes I love orange trend!! and bronzer + golden highlghter, always works great!

For me, loads of Essence All About Matt! powder, so my face won't be shiny when I pile on the sunblock.

I want to try out coloured mascara or falsies this summer!

My current S/S HG list is my Anna Sui double lipgloss (pink and smells like roses!) and all of my funky-coloured Essence and GOSH eyeliners. I like doing a creamy neutral eye, and drawing a diamond-shaped wing with blue eyeliner.

My GOSH mint eyeshadow stick, and my Wet N Wild Art in the Streets palette. I just really love orange/yellow eyeshadow, okay.

I really wanted to try nude lipstick this Spring, so picked up 2 to test out - the Maybelline's Blushing Beige and BHCosmetics Naked Peach. Right now I really don't love the Maybelline one, I feel like the coverage is a little weak. I do like the BH Cosmetics one, but I haven't spent enough time wearing it for a real verdict.

I love love love the coral lips trend this summer...anyone have any good suggestions?

Hmm! ^-^

I love my Sensai 38* in the summertime, it's waterproof (can swim with it without smudging) and it gives loads of volume and length. Fuschia lips is also a favorite of mine for the summer! Along with just bb cream and maybe some coral-pink blusher.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also eyeing the Too faced Melted lipglosses! They seem amazing..

I've pulled back out my Mirenesse Glossy Kiss in Quick Kiss, a really super intense red-orange. I use just a few little dots and rub it in as a stain, then do a balm over it for a coral lip. I also like doing just a wash of gold or another shimmery neutral for my eye--for work I've been using the Flower eye crayon in Eye on the Prize, for evenings I actually go somewhere (not many!) I've been using Cover Girl Outlast creme (in the tube--I forgot the actual product name) in gold.

 I love Baby Lips in Coral Crush  or Cherry Me for summer, I like sheer lipsticks in summer, nothing heavy. Champagne and peach eyeshadow, brown mascara, eyeliner varies but is never black. Sunscreen is a daily must.

Peach & coral shades. Lighter, more natural looks.

Thermal polish changes colors depending on the temperature..like some are blue when cold and green when warm, etc. I remember buying this from Claire's when I was younger when they called it "mood changing" nail polish, haha.  Some of the indie brands have really cool thermals! The only indie brand names I can think of off the top of my head are Black Sheep Lacquer and Starrily.
