The dramatics of spring 2018 beauty trends are ever-present and it can be exciting and intimidating at the same time. Especially, if you want to start slow with color experimentation. There are all types of trends our there from holographic glowing skin to “growing” your own personal flower gardens on your eyebrows. Yes, this too does exist. Not to mention, all the other abundant trends that have bloomed right along with the new spring season. It can be daunting; where do you begin and what will work for you without looking like a caricature of yourself or just way off of your personal makeup mark? It can take a little time and practice but, there is always fun with beauty and why not start off simple and build from there? We decided to start you off with that ideal notion, and make it an easy transition in allowing this spring season to inspire you. Start slow and build up, like with a bold colored brow, while keeping your skin fresh and dewy with a natural glow. Professional makeup artist Bethany Garita gives us some deets on how to achieve this look in a just a few quick steps.

For Fun With Brow Color: First I brush through the Brow then apply a Brow gel to set them in place. Then using a small lipstick brush, I brush the color on to the Brow hairs. Cream gives a lot of pay off and works great for editorial print but wouldn't be wearable for long wear, but Kat Von D recently has come out with Colored Brow Pomades which would be ideal for long wear.

For a healthy natural looking glow: I apply a thin layer of foundation, then I do pin point concealing with the concealer to any blemishes. Follow by highlight the areas I want to highlight to replicate healthy glowing skin.
