PINKS & LILAC

For those living under a rock, pink and lilac shades are having a moment. What better time than spring to try them out. A wash of lilac on your lids or a pink liner, like the LIT Lipliner Pencil in Sass, will immediately perk up your look and days. Don’t forget to coat your lashes with Threesome Mascara for maximum impact.

Here's some lilac inspiration:

CORAL EVERYTHING

It's not surprising that Pantone's Colour of the Year is the most popular colour for 2019. This beautiful pinkish-peach with subtle hints of gold adds a sexy vibrancy to your look. It can be worn in many different ways—on the lips, cheeks, and eyes. 

Here's our guide to Wearing Pantone Colour of the Year, Living Coral: 

Coral Lipstick
Coral lipstick is definitely a trend you don’t want to miss out on this spring. Make your pout happy with a dose of this refreshing shade. The right coral lipstick will brighten up your face instantly without being too loud. Grab the LIT Satin Matte Lipstick in Modern Family and colour away.

Here are some handy tips that'll help you rock coral lips this spring:

Coral Blush
We don’t blame you if are finding your pink blush monotonous. Try coral instead. It adds a fresh tropical flush to your cheeks. Try the Manish Malhotra Blush Stick in Seduction which has a soft, velvety texture and lends a natural glow to your face, like you're blushing from within.

Coral Eyeshadow
Coral mania doesn’t end at the lips and cheeks. Step up your game by wearing it on your eyes. This playful hue is romantic and chic. It adds a youthful energy to your appearance and especially looks good in the day. Try the Manish Malhotra 9 in 1 Eyeshadow palette in Soiree which has a matte coral shadow along with eight other complimentary shades.

Here's our take on wearing coral on the eyes and lips:

AQUA & TEAL

We’ve seen a lot of aqua eye makeup on the SS19 runways. We're in love with the fresh shades of cobalt blue, teal, sea green and turquoise that are perfect for summer and flattering on all skin tones. There are several eye-catching ways to wear these bright colours, as thin or thick eyeliner, as cute flicks or a sharp cat eye. Whatever works for you. Take your pick from LIT Matte Eyeliner Pencil in Slay, Prom Night or Girl Crush.

This is how to work vibrant blue eyeliner for your next summer outing: 

METALS

Heavy metal has been big this year. Metallic eyeshadows in shades like gold, copper, silver, and gunmetal have been totally on point for Spring 2019. Apart from wearing it on your lids, it can be worn in a more subtle way. Try adding a dash on metal on the inner or outer corners of your eyes. It’s chic and makes your eyes look brighter.

NEONS

Usually, spring is a time for sweet pastels and sorbet shades but that shouldn’t keep you from trying out a shocking lemon yellow like the LIT Nail Enamel in No Chill or a vibrant sky blue like the LIT Nail Enamel in Bad Romance. Coral is another colour to watch out for, after all, it’s the colour of the year. Try the LIT Nail Enamel in Bang On & Trouble Maker and make your nails pop. Colours like sea green, lilac and lavender go well with the spring mood due to their refreshing vibe. Try the Wanderlust Gel Nail Polish in Fiji, Claudia, and Provence.
