BeautyTalk: Fab beauty trends for spring 2013!

   This is my first official beauty talk post. Aside from my youtube videos (which I'd love for you to subscribe! Chanel: Karina Style Diaries) I usually talk rather quickly about certain products and ways to do your makeup, this is a bit more in depth of what's happening this season when it comes to your hair, skin, nails and everything else we typically use to enhance our beautiful selves!

   So after my research I narrowed down the spring trends to 7 most relevant ones and here they are:

1. Hair Bun: I guess it's time for the high up bun to go down a few inches, more precisely to the side even though the messy bun it's still an option we're seeing a lot more neatness going on when it comes to hair styles this year.

 2. Braid: another staple for spring is the braid, be it french, fish tail or whatever kind you manage to do it yourself it's worth it! I'm a big fan ;) and if you have short to medium length hair try the side braid on your your bangs and pin it with a bobby pin!

Balmain

 3. The Center Part: making a big come back is the hair parted in the middle, for it's casualness perhaps it's everywhere from the runways to the celebrities to us mere street people! I particularly like it more in a bouncy hair than in a full straight look but hey it's your call they are both in ;)

4. Nude Nails: although some might argue that brights are in, one of the strongest nail trends is the nudes, beiges, sand colors or barely there nail polish, after we've seen all kinds of craziness it's time to step down a notch and as a good Brazilian (yes, that's right! Brazilian ladies wear way more nude  than any other colors, classy huh?!)  I'm loving it!!!! Now, that being said the creamy pastels in cooler shades are also trendy for spring!

As a side note, I'm really not into the super pointy long nail, but not judging!

5. Eye-liner: my beloved is still going strong but with a twist, the thing of the moment is to wear colored sparkly or not eye-liner, think greens and blues, very 2013!

Atelier Versace

6. Bold lips/eyebrows: both of them have been making an appearance for fall here and there so they're nothing new yet they do bring a fresh appeal during spring time. Play with different colors on your lips not just red, and please having a bold eyebrow does not mean you can forget about your tweezers, I mean you should still clean your brows up a bit, ok? ;)

Jason Wu

7. Super Bright Highlighter: since starting to discover the amazing world of makeup this is one thing I can't live without. So imagine my happy face when I found the extreme highlight face as a strong beauty trend for 2013. This is one little powerful thing that makes your face look fresh, glowy, pearly, you name it, it's ahhh-mazing ;))))  highlighters come in different textures and usually are good for different areas (I'm going to work on a highlighter video soon) but they all deliver that flawless skin for ya!
