Part of the turning of the seasons for fashion-conscious women is updating wardrobes to keep up with new trends. With each new season comes a new set of colors, styles and fashion ideas, and it can be fun to go out shopping for new clothes to keep up with the changes. Additionally, however, you should keep in mind that you can also update your makeup selection with the seasons, and that this can help to keep you completely in-style. This is certainly worth considering as the weather warms up and the spring seasons inches steadily closer. So, here are a few helpful tips for updating your makeup for the coming season!
Buy some brightly colored lipstick. During the colder winter months, deep dark colors are often more popular – however, with the warmth and lightness of spring comes a need for brighter colors, so this would be a good time to put away the crimson and break out the rouge. Always one of the most noticeable elements of your beauty and style, your lipstick should match the season as well as any outfit.

Put some color into your skin. While artificial tanning methods can often look fairly contrived and sometimes even unhealthy, you should do your best to liven up your skin tones a bit following the cold winter. Whether this means going out to get a natural tan, or simply applying a bit of accented moisturizer, it is probably the most significant part of your physical beautification adaptations to the new season. Pale faces stand out in spring, so adding a bit of color to your complexion can really help to pull you into the warmer months of the year, from a fashion standpoint.

Do away with the darks as much as possible. As mentioned previously, the spring season is all about bright colors and lightness, so sticking with heavy eye shadow or excessively dark lashes can begin to look a bit out of place. This is a subtle but significant shift in beauty management that occurs between winter and spring, and fortunately, adhering to the idea that in some cases less is more means you have less work to do!
