Spring 2013 Trends- Nude, Minimal Makeup Look

This upcoming 2013 spring season's trend that has been reflected at the NY Fashion Week Runway Shows in makeup is that of a minimalistic, natural look. That means a great skin regime and good base makeup such as a primer, foundation, and concealer are needed to get that perfect glowing skin look(unless you already naturally possess it, and lucky you!)

That being said, these models are definitely wearing a primer, concealer, foundation, blush, a light color eye shadow, some mascara, and a light shade of lipstick. 

 Makeup does NOT need to look overly dramatic, or caked on. In fact, I think that looks tacky. Makeup worn in balance is what I'm all about- a heavy eye with a light lip shade, or a bright, deep hue of lip color, with minimal eye makeup. A lot of women hesitate to wear make up because they are not too familiar with its application. Or, they feel out of place wearing it. 

I was watching an episode of "What Not To Wear" the other day on TLC, and a 30 year old woman had never worn make up. Her words when she saw herself at first in the mirror were "It looks weird." Lol! Actually she said that about all her new outfits, but that is just because she was resistant to change, and a new, fresh look. One thing that struck out though, was when make up artist Carmendy responded, by saying "Make up only enhances what is already there. It may look weird to you, because your features are exaggerated now." After a few minutes of staring at herself in the mirror, the woman actually agreed and felt she looked very pretty.

This fall and winter the color trends in makeup are bold, gem-toned colors for clothes and for make up. But come spring, I welcome it because its a fresh approach and look, that a lot of women who don't normally wear make up, can start using it, without feeling like they have "raccoon eyes" or clown lips!!
