Hold up, is that sunshine? Yes, spring is just around the corner (the groundhog said so) and the time to rethink your beauty routine for the warmer weather is now. Replace those muted tones of autumn and winter with something bright and cheery because if there’s one takeaway from Paris Fashion Week, it’s that pastel makeup looks are fully on trend in 2019.

While the fantastical color combinations featured on the models walking the catwalk might be a little much for the sidewalk, a toned down pastel palette is effortlessly fresh. Pastel makeup dominates on the runway, but here’s how to wear it yourself.

9 pastel makeup looks for spring

1. Touch of purple

Sometimes all you need is an eye-catching purple shadow to make a big difference in your look.

2. Unicorn vibes

This look perfectly mixes pinks and blues for daytime glamour.

3. Under-eye pop

A quick way to master the pastel trend is adding a swipe of color to your lower lash line.

4. Pretty in pink

In full bloom like a spring, this looks is soft and chic.

5. Pastel wings

Swap out your black liner for something a more seasonal and sweet, like a cotton candy.

6. Corner glow

If you want to instantly highlight your eye area, apply a pop of pastel yellow shadow to the inner corners.

7. Glittery pink

Give any pastel makeup look some serious wow-factor with a little shimmer.

8. Pastel liner

Keep a bold liner with a pastel makeup look that’s fun and fierce.

9. Icy blue

Icy blue eye shadow is cool and light.
