Chances are, you’ve already started stocking up on cosmetics for spring and summer, but trends are always changing. That being said, here are some makeup tips and items worth ditching as the warm weather rolls in, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
1. Hot pink eyeshadow
It might look terrific on runway models, but hot pink eyeshadow has no place on everyday women, even when they need to look their best for a big outing.
2. Bare lashes
Even if you think you aren’t going to run into anyone you know while you’re running errands, don’t buy into this trend – mascara is your friend! Not to mention, it only takes a couple of minutes to apply.
3. Neutral lips
One woman who’s guilty of this is Jennifer Garner – she showed up to the 2013 Oscars with eye-popping jewelry, but lackluster makeup. Consider going bold with a vivid lip color if you want to loo hot this season.
Vogue magazine recommends taking advantage of trends such as brown eye makeup to fall in line with this season’s trends. Doing so in combination with avoiding these faux pas can help you ensure that you always look your best this spring and summer.
Every season, there are new glossy lipsticks, eyeshadows and eyeliners to try. However, new research shows that American women may not be as interested in revamping their makeup products or routines as much as you might think. A survey conducted by CouponCodes4u.com found that the average American female only updates her style every 11 years. Additionally, women tend to stick with the same brand of cosmetics for an average of four years, according to The Huffington Post.
“[M]any American women haven’t changed their makeup look at all in almost 11 years,” Mark Pearson, the chairman and founder of the website, told the news source. “That is a decade of sticking with the same look makeup-wise, which, to be honest, probably isn’t the best way to look one’s best.”
While this statistic is relatively surprising to many, it doesn’t have to apply to you! There are several ways that you can easily update your makeup routine and show that you still have the urge to look trendy. Allure magazine recommends taking advantage of a bold lipstick to give your appearance an edge. Using a darker eyeliner can also enhance your peepers and turn heads.

Deep, dramatic lip colors such as wine and berry are definitely must-wears this spring. Even if you aren't used to the idea of wearing bold lipstick, give it a try! The right shade can do wonders for your pout and give your appearance more flair, whether you're at the office or on a hot date.

Here are some of the latest looks to make an appearance on models and celebrities alike.

In case you haven't heard, rose gold metallics are huge this season. Whether its on your jewelry, eyes, lips, hair or nails, this hot hue is bound to give any look an instant pick-me-up. It's a romantic yet edgy shade that can spice up any beauty routine. Here are a couple of ideas to incorporate the trend into yours, inspired by Glamour magazine's beauty blog.
Rose gold makeup goes with everything. Invest in a kit like Jane Iredale – One-4-All Kits in Neutral for plenty of shades to play with all over your face. It's totally okay to use rose gold on all of your features, as it'll give you a nice glow and won't be overwhelming.
If you're feeling extra daring, you could put a couple of rose gold highlights in your hair. They're subtle enough to be wearable but still noticeable enough to be chic. Go for a couple of strands in the front of your hair to nail the look.
Metallic nails have always been cool, but rose gold takes it to another level completely. You're sure to find a shade you like out of the Lippmann Collection – Nail Lacquers.
Are there any beauty rules that weren’t made to be broken? From white eyeliner to blue lipstick, it seems that one-time faux-pas are being embraced by glamor gals everywhere.
Now, it looks like there is one more beauty-don’t that is quickly becoming a beauty-do – red eye makeup. According to Allure.com, the bold color was used on the lids of models in a 2009 Prada fashion show. Most recently, Taylor Momsen, who stars as Jenny Humphrey on the hit show Gossip Girl, has been sporting the edgy shadow.
However, red eye makeup is not a simple trend to rock. “There is a fine very line between sexy and sickly,” the website reports. “Done right, red shadow can be pretty.”
To give your look a bit of edge, the news source suggests lining your upper lashes with black pencil and applying a streak of bright and shimmery shadow above it.
While finding red eye makeup may be a bit tricky, the Pop Beauty Day to Play kit boasts 24 shades of shadow, including a red-hued powder. Apply dark mascara for contrast and a quick coat of clear lip balm – keeping the rest of your makeup minimal will balance out dramatic eye makeup.
