With warm weather on the way, it is time to freshen up your look with the best new beauty trends. Take a look at these new styles for makeup, hair, and nails to make sure you are looking great this spring and summer.
Makeup
Clean out your beauty bag of all the makeup you were wearing in the winter. It is time to lighten up your makeup, so ditch the heavy face creams and smoky eye liner. Bold matte lips are gorgeous and extremely wearable. Using a lip brush, apply lipstick from the center of your lips and work out. If you make a mistake just dip a q-tip into some face powder and drag it along the edges for the perfect, crisp line.
Some cool colors to try this spring:
– Bite Beauty Matte Cream Lipstick in Vibrant Fuchsia $24, Sephora
– Nars Lipstick in Heat Wave $26, Saks Fifth Avenue
– Covergirl Lipstick in Siren or Spellbound $8, CVS
Time to brighten up those eyes! Skip the pastel colors and look for saturated jewel tones that will make your eyes pop. With an eye pencil you can create a beautiful look quickly, easily, and for cheap. Instead of drawing a line all over the eye area, only use your bold color along the lower lash line.

Hair
Braids will still be a popular hair style for spring and summer 2013. The wet look is one of the hottest celebrity trends right now. This glossy hairstyle can be worn with volume, straight back, or with a sleek part. Edgy cuts are also in this year. If you really want to be noticed, go with one side cut very short or even shaved with your hair longer on top. If you are feeling adventurous you can try this look, it worked for Rihanna!
Nails
Great looking nails are a must. The 3D design has been a very popular style for a while and is still holding strong. Oval and pointed nails are in for this spring. Add some metallic colors and your fingertips will be the envy of all your friends. If all else fails, the natural nude look is classic and will never go out of style.
