One thing about spring is it ushers in new life. You’ll find that every spring there’s always a splash of bright color that opens the doorway to the change of seasons.
Anorexic thin models sachet down the runways to display and show off the colors of the season.
If you notice every year the must wear color for the season changes. One year its pink. Another year it’s lavender, tangerine, salmon or cucumber. This year the hottest color for spring is mint green (again). There’s nothing new under the sun when it comes to Fashion and beauty. Eventually, you find yourself presented with the same.
Just because its an unwritten law that bright colors usher in spring, it doesn’t mean you have to go with that flow all over. You don’t have to wear purple, pink, mint green or light blue eye shadow. How about creating a nude look on your face this spring?
A nude look can be created on any complexion. It’s basically a look that’s simplistic. What’s best is a nude look works with any color and any season.

There are a few simple rules for creating a nude look:
- While you are wearing makeup, it shouldn’t be that obvious
- No bright or contrasting colors. Choose makeup that’s as close to your natural skin tone as possible.
- Think natural
- Treat your skin like a fresh canvas. Always start fresh and clean.
- Use concealer to hide blemishes and imperfections

I love the nude look!! It’s my go to year round!!! I generally just use a bronzer, a little hint of pink on the cheeks, groomed brows, mascara and a pale brown or pink gloss! It looks natural, but definitely makes me feel prettier!

Nude is definitely your thing too Shelli. I’ve never noticed you with lots of makeup on.
Nude does work well!!! I really like it a lot. I need a good bronzer anyone know of one????
Im with Shelli, I love the nude look!
I usually opt for nude makeup at work simply because I don’t want to look overdone or too edgy — I mean, I work in human resources. That might be a little over-the-top. Haha. On the weekends, I go for more extreme makeup.

I love to spruce up my eyes from time to time with a little pop of color, but I lean mostly toward nude most of the time. You’re so right about glowing while wearing nude colors. It just looks so natural and beautiful.

I think you and I have the same style in that respect. I like to do my eyes sometimes but I’m not big on things like lipstick and blush – once in a while….
Thanks Michelle:). Sometimes I wear make up, but never foundation. The most I’ll do is mix a little of that maybelline souffle (I think) with my face lotion and then “blot” shiny spots w/true blend pressed powder. But yeah, the natural look rocks!!
Miche’al, I use the Black Opal bronzer! I think physican’s formula makes some nice ones too.

I only use Bare Minerals powder. I don’t use foundation either. Too much for me
