You don’t need to be a Barrier Reef native to rock fresh, coral-toned shadows this spring, as this is one color family that’s becoming quite the hot commodity around the world.

“Coral is the new black when it comes to runway-inspired makeup tendencies,” according to BecomeGorgeous.com. “Makeup artists use the pastel or more flashy tones of this hue to create dazzling and hyper-dainty makeup looks.”

That’s because coral is the perfect middle ground between fleshy, neutral tones and the pastel hues typical of spring, both of which are major ticket items on this season’s makeup trend roster.

Girls of all complexions can easily liven up their glow with a liberal sweep of coral shadow across their lids and their creases. This super-fresh look is best worn without too many competing shadows or liners, but a few coats of mascara and perhaps a touch of gold shimmer on the inner corners will be just the thing to really help you stand out.
