Beauty: Pastel Eyes

Nothing screams spring like a soft pastel color palate. The soft colors are blooming in trends from home decoration, to nail colors and all the in-betweens . The pastel hues are romantic, pretty, vibrant, and universally flattering to all skin tones.  

Pair your mint or rose denim with  pastel eye-shadow to cash in on the "oh-so-pretty" look. Pastel eye colors were big in the 80's ( and if your canadian the 90's). The updated 2012 pastel look is a more refined and romantic. The modern pastel eye shadow is sheer, shimmery, and wearable; opposed to the caky chalky pastel of yesteryears.

For a flattering pastel eye look choose a color that pops against your hair color.
To make sure the look screams grown up, and not tween queen, keep your blush and lips simple. 

Blonds:

 A mint green, or light blue

Brunettes:

 A dusky rose, or viollet

Red Heads: 

A soft pink, or a gentle mustard

Gently line and smudge your lower lid with a soft brown. 

In the inner corner of your eye brush in some white eyeliner or eyeshadow. Using a basic eye shadow or smoky brush, apply the pastel color to your lid. 

Use a white/light shadow in the crease of your eyelid.

Blend the color, and apply a brown mascara  to amp up the pastel hues.

Peplums please!

Peplum n, pl-lums:

1.) Clothing and fashion, a flared ruffle attached to the waist of a jacket, bodice, dress, etc.

2.) A variant of peplos: Peplos n, pl: Clothing and Fashion in ancient Greece the top part of a woman's atrire caught at the shoulders and hanging in folds to the waist.

3.) A wicked fashion trend that has been dominating the spring 2012 runways. Peplums are fabric embelishments that instantly create a curvasious hour glass figure on any body. Peplums were popular in the '80's as well as in the 40's. For 2012, the look is more polished and sophisticated that the over glam-ed 80's look, while still managing a playful look.
