Gold Highlighter Is the Secret to Spring’s Ethereal Glow

One of the biggest makeup trends of the Spring 2018 season was no makeup and by no makeup, we mean the retirement of foundations, heavy powders, lipsticks, eyeshadows, eyeliners and basically most of the items in your makeup bag. Instead, glowing and glossy au naturel fresh faces strutted down the runways with only a dash of highlighting and a chic, dewy pout. It turns out all that time and money you spent making your skin look hydrated and clear this winter was the best investment for your makeup bag this upcoming season. The great thing about  highlighting your face  is there is no right way to do it and you can go as subtle or glam as you want with this versatile beauty look. For a simple day look, you can dust a little over your cheeks or use as eyeshadow. For a more evening look, you can dust a little everywhere, including your cleavage, should you choose to sport some.

This season’s  beauty trends  are all about making a statement and taking your creativity to the next level. Whether it’s  getting your glitter on , revolutionizing  the cat eye  or pushing the boundaries of your eye and lip liners, this is no time to be basic.

Your eyelashes exist to prevent dirt and debris from entering your eyes, and this grime can build up on extensions. Rinse your lashes gently with diluted baby shampoo (one tablespoon of baby shampoo to one cup of distilled water) once a day. DON'T use oil-based products near your eyes. Oil destroys the adhesive on your lash extensions, making them fall off sooner. Borboleta recommends skipping out on mascara altogether. But if you can't bear the thought of going without, steer clear of waterproof formulas (which are oil-based). Be sure to check the ingredient lists on your antiaging eye creams, too.
