This year, bold colors seem to be taking the place of softer pastels. Two of the more prominent colors this year seem to be orange and blue.
Orange
The runways of Rag and Bone, Creatures of the Wind and Suno for the Spring 2014 collection all featured this hot, citrus color. Both Rag and Bone and Creatures of the Wind featured a bold orange lip. I think the look is amazing, but not something that I would be able to rock during my day to day wear. Suno featured a more wearable (for me at least) orange nail. If you want to wear this spring trend, consider Chanel Rouge Allure Intense Lip Color in Incandescente. A more budget friendly option is the Revlon Colorbust Matte Balm in the shade Audacious. To wear this trend in a more subtle way, paint your nails with a bright orange like Orly's Orange Punch nail polish.Blue
While Radiant Orchid is the 2014 Color of the Year, Dazzling Blue is the color that Pantone has picked for spring 2014. There are tons of ways to wear blue and one of my personal favorites is on the eyes. Don't worry that blue eyes belong in the 80s, there are several ways to make this look modern. My personal favorite way to incorporate some blue into my eye looks is by using eyeliner. I like to pop this color on my waterline for a surprising peek of color. My current favorite waterline liner is Rimmel's ScandalEyes in Light Blue for a daytime look and in Deep Blue for a darker, nighttime look. These eyeliners are incredibly creamy and perform like a high-end pencil for a serious fraction of the cost. If you want to wear this color on your nails consider OPI's Dating a Royal or Essie's Butler Please. These cobalt blue polishes are fun and fresh for this spring.
Let me know what other trends you are excited about trying this year!
