Which of these spring trends would you like to try?
Peach and plum layered blush
This trend combines two of my favorite shades of blush — peach and plum!
Start by sweeping a satin or matte peach blush on your cheekbones; then, dab a touch of a satin or matte plum just on the apples of your cheeks.
Gently blend the colors with a blush brush for fresh, glowing cheeks. ?
Matching or complementary pastel nails and liner
This is an easy way to add some fun color to your look during these mask-wearing times.
First, if you want foolproof, choose a matching nail polish and liner. If, instead, you’re in the mood to play, then pair pastels together. Here I’m wearing a creamy pastel purple polish (Chanel Purple Ray; it isn’t available nowadays, but Chanel Mirage is similar) and shimmery pink liner on my upper lash lines.
The hottest trend in liquid liner
Introduce an unexpected element into your makeup with some unique, organic shapes. To make the most of this up-and-coming spring trend, I suggest incorporating your mask in some way.
This one’s obviously for folks who like an edge!
Overdrawn, larger-than-life lips
Use any colors you’d like, but I suggest going for colors you wear often. Here I’m wearing two old faves, MAC Mahogany Lip Pencil and MAC Half ‘N Half Lipstick.

The whiskers are so cute, and I’ll have to try the peach and plumb blushes – my two favorite colors of blush!

Happy April 1st, Chelsea!
Chelsea says
You too!
Off topic but I keep meaning to ask if you have a particular lasagna recipe you like for birthday lasagna – I want to give homemade lasagna a go.

The lips actually look good heehee…. they remind me of my favorite K-Pop star, Jessi.
Pretty necklace!!
Karen says
Ooh, thank you for noticing my necklace! 🙂
Sherry says
So cute!! This brightened my day. I actually have Sunset Glow blush. It’s a great color and it does make you glow!!
Karen says
Hi, Sherry! Sunset Glow is the best. I love Clinique blushes and I think they’re unsung heroes!
Happy April 1st!
L says
Those lips made me LOL! Who makes the pink liner, please?
Anne says
Happy April 1st – I was willing to believe everything, but then the whiskers came and I remembered the date.
Kim says
HAHA! I love it! Did you use Donutella for the pink liner? Mother Nature had the biggest laugh on 4/1 in these parts. She’s been luring us in with a Spring is Here vibe. But we woke up to snow on the morning of April 1st. What a sense of humor. 😉
