Green-eyed beauty Sara Paxton has been a muse of mine for a few years now, I’ve glammed her for “The Last House on the Left” premiere and countless photoshoots. I’m very excited about Spring and wanted to give you a little sneak peak on what will be very strong this Spring, making a statement with your eyes and lips and definitely implementing color. If green isn’t your color of choice try beautiful shades of blue or in Sara’s case, lilacs, lavenders and pinks. For those who love to stick with their neutral browns adding a touch of color to even a neutral palette can really brighten it up.
Sara’s makeup is basically a chocolate smoky eye, a pinky peach cheek and lip. I took a beautiful lilac purple palette and a damp eye shadow brush, blended a wash of the lilac cream shadow and the chocolate shadow. This created a look that was still warm but the touch of purple gave it a bit of vibrancy. I’ve applied this same technique with a chocolate cream base before; you can use purples, greens, plums, rust, and burgundy highlights. I think this Spring you are definitely going to be seeing a lot of color on the runway as well as the red carpet events this season.
