Colorful eyeliner will take your peepers from ho-hum to whoa in seconds! Try bright colors like aqua, tangerine, or hot pink – the bolder the better! You can rim the entire eye or keep the bright liner on the upper lashline only. This trend truly is all about making a statement. But remember to keep lips to a simple pink or peach tone as the bold eyeliner will be the star! Try Almay Intense I-Color Eyeliner in Deep Jade ($6.99) or Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Lust ($19).
Creative manicures are a major trend we’ll see in 2012. From Two-tone manis to sparkles to extreme artwork, creative nails are a must-do! For inspiration, check out this slideshow or head to your local nail salon and ask ‘em about the latest mani styles! Want to DIY? There are a bazillion how-to tutorials online that provide a step-by-step guide. Or if you want all the benefits of trendy nails without the hassle, try stick-on patterns such as Sephora Nail Bling ($7) or Butter London Nail Skins ($10).
Vibrant cheeks are a must this year! Take your cheeks from bland to blushing beauty with shades of bold coral or bright pink. Don’t be afraid to be heavy-handed as the idea is to make the apple of your cheeks pop with vibrant color! Try LORAC Baked Matte Satin Blush in Flaunt ($24) or NYX Stick Blush in Orchid ($5.99).
