Spring is here! This is one of my favorite times of the year. The snow is melting, the birds are singing and the tulips are beginning to pop through the soil. And though we are currently in this uncertain time of COVID-19 quarantine, this means it’s time to think about changing up your makeup routine and products! I’m truly excited for the 2020 spring/summer season.
“Ditch your neutral shades and dare to give your look a pop of color!”
As I often say, trends aren't for everyone but they are definitely fun to try out. This spring and summer you will notice the common theme of colorful eyeshadow, pops of glitter, lots of blush, dewy skin and stained lips.
Colorful Eyeshadow
This season, step outside the box of your usual neutral tones and dare to try some color! Start off on the lighter side and work your way to getting bolder the more comfortable you get! I love to use the Romantic Palette from Beauty Counter. It’s really versatile, allowing you to create an array of different colorful looks!

All that Glitters
Glitter has made a big comeback in recent years and 2020 is no exception! Summer is a great time to add a little glimmer to your look. I’m loving the idea of using glitter as an inner eye highlight or on the tops of your cheekbones. Play around with it! Images courtesy of Pinterest and Harper’s Bazaar.
Pro Tip: find a glitter specific primer to help reduce fall out and use biodegradable glitter when possible.
Blush, blush and more blush!
Let’s be honest, coming out of winter our skin could use a little extra color. Am I right? I am loving that blush is a predominant product in this year’s summer trend. My go-to for this season is Melon from BeautyCounter. Don’t be afraid to apply a little more than you normally would, pile it on sister!
Pro Tip: blend your blush out with a CLEAN blush brush for a flawless, effortless appearance.
Dewy skin is still in!
This is trend that is never going to go out of style - in my opinion any way! There are a few tricks to achieving a dewy skin look. It first starts with your skincare routine. One of my favorite products is Dew Skin from BeautyCounter. I love it because you get a light, dewy coverage with SPF protection as well. It’s just the right amount of moisture.
Pro Tip: for some extra “dewiness” apply your favorite skin oil first, let it set for a minute or two the apply Dew Skin on top.

Stained, glossy lips.
I am loving the effortless “just bitten” glossy lip looks this season! Perhaps the thing I love the most about it is that it’s a very easy look to achieve. Just sweep on your favorite gloss and you are ready to go! If you’re typically a nude lip gloss gal, I’d encourage you to try one with a bit more color like Bright Pink from BeautyCounter. You can also easily gloss up your favorite matte lipstick by applying a clear gloss on top.
