Fresh-Faced Makeup Made Easy


Super dark shades and heavy makeup textures can feel wrong this time of year. So, lighten up! Beautiful makeup—that highlights a beautiful complexion—is what you want right now. And it’s easy to achieve! The clear, healthy, glowing look is all about a mix of proper, radiance-focused skincare, plus a few key makeup tips. Here’s how to put your freshest face forward.

1. Treat.

A fresh-faced makeup look is all about a great-looking complexion, so a good skin-care routine is a must. Your goal: plump, hydrated skin. Your tactic: scheduling a date a few times each week to quench with a sheet mask. Try Avon ANEW Brightening Sheet Mask, which contains white pearl essence to brighten, plus skin-beautifying vitamins, minerals, and proteins.

2. Hydrate and glow.

Makeup looks more natural and lasts longer on well-moisturized skin, so smooth on a rich cream every morning. Bonus points: Look for one with radiance-boosting ingredients to reduce spots, plus sunscreen to help keep new ones from forming. We like Avon nutraeffects Radiance Day Cream SPF 20. It’s packed with chia seeds (a superfood ingredient that’s high in omega 3 fatty acids and can hold 12 times its weight in water) and bird of paradise seed to brighten.

3. Apply foundation.

It’s fresh-faced makeup’s best friend, downplaying blemishes, evening tone, and perfecting the skin. Just don’t be too heavy-handed! You want the end result to look like skin—not like makeup—so opt for a lightweight liquid formula that’s very natural looking such as Avon True Color Flawless Liquid Foundation. Use a brush or sponge to apply it, starting towards the center of your face where most people usually need the most coverage, then blend outwards until the edges fade away.

4. Go au natural on eyes.

Neutral, found-in-nature shades of shadow keep the focus on your gorgeous skin, so look for a softly shimmery champagne, tan, or beige. We like Avon True Color 8-in-1 Eyeshadow Palette in Nude Muse. Then, swipe on a few quick coats of mascara. A clump-free formula like Avon Super Extend Nourishing Mascara keeps the look defined, but still totally natural.

5. Add a pop of color.

Bright pink or peach blush instantly livens up your entire face. For the freshest look, opt for creamy formulas like Avon True Color Be Blushed Cheek Color—they’ll add a natural, born-with-it flush that won’t get chalky or cakey. Swirl the color on the apples of your cheeks, then blend well with your fingers.

6. Love your lips.

Finish with a soft rose or neutral pink lipstick. These your-lips-but-better shades look feminine, pretty, and totally natural. We like the universally flattering Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick in Playful Rose.

9 Easy Mascara Hacks for Amazing Lashes


For beautiful lashes, swipe on mascara. Simple enough and it works, right? But if you really want to take your lashes to the next level, listen up. These nine little tricks are easy, quick, and guaranteed to score you the longest, thickest, most incredible lashes ever.

Get carded.

Lashes look their fattest when the mascara goes all the way down to the roots. Trouble is, it’s hard to get it there without getting black gunk all over your lids. To combat this, take a business card and hold it at the base of your lashes, then swipe on mascara. The excess will end up on the card, not on you.

Baby your lashes.

Just like the hair on your head, your lashes need to be conditioned. To do this, you can take the time to swipe on a special lash gel every night, or you can multitask by using a mascara with conditioning agents already built in. Avon True Color SuperExtend Nourishing Mascara is infused with argan oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E to keep lashes soft and healthy, while adding dramatic color and length at the same time.

Bulk up your base.

Create the illusion of a thicker lashline by tracing the inner rims of the upper lids with black eyeliner. Our pick: Avon True Color Glimmersticks Eye Liner in Blackest Black.

Revive old mascara.

To avoid eye infections (and dry, hard-to-use mascara), we highly recommend replacing your tube every three months. If your mascara gets gunky before that time though, blast the outside of the tube with a blow dryer for 10 seconds to temporarily thin it out and make it easier to apply.

Go vertical.

After swiping on your mascara normally, try holding your wand vertically and touching the tip of the brush to each individual lash. This takes just seconds, but adds tons of extra length.

Curl without a curler.

If you don’t have an eyelash curler handy, try pressing a spoon against your eyes for a few seconds before applying mascara. The curvature of the spoon will cause lashes to gently bend. For an even easier, stealth-like method, choose a mascara formula that actually curls on its own! Avon True Color Wide Awake Mascara has a specially engineered hourglass brush that curls lashes as you swipe, plus a “lift and lock” formula that helps them stay that way for hours.

Stop clumps before they start.

After pulling your wand from the tube, take a clean tissue and wipe off any big globs of product. Removing the excess before you start swiping means it won’t end up on your lashes!

Powder your way to bolder lashes.

Apply one coat of mascara, then brush translucent face powder (yes, really!) on top. Finish with another coat of mascara to lock it in. The powder adds heft and length. It’s an old makeup artist trick—and it totally works!

Customize your lash look.

The eyeshadow color you choose can make a big difference in how your lashes look. With lighter shades, your lashes will be visible from root to tip, so they’ll automatically look longer. If you’d li

The Best Fragrance for Every Occasion


You wouldn’t wear sweats to date night or an evening gown to brunch, right? Of course not! You choose your outfit based on the occasion. Well, why not do the same with your fragrance? In this handy guide, we’ll reveal which scents work particularly well for some common spring scenarios. Get ready to hit all the right notes this season.

Date Night

What you want: Whether you’re heading out for a first date with a new guy—or the hundredth one with your husband—you’ll want a killer dress, a great lipstick, and a scent that’s ultra-feminine and super sexy. For that, look for a mix of captivating floral notes, plus sultry touches of woodsy spice.
Our pick: Avon Femme, opens with sweet florals of jasmine petals and magnolia. Rich amberwoods round out the fragrance, turning it into a sexy scent he won’t be able to resist!

Mother’s Day Dinner

What you want: When you’re buying a gift for mom (or just want to wear something perfect for her special day), you’ll want something that radiates love, so start with a bouquet of romantic floral notes. Add a dose of positivity with uplifting citrus, then round it all out with a warm, comforting base.
Our pick: Today Tomorrow Always Absolute, which, at first, blooms with lush orange flower absolute. Next comes crisp bergamot, adding a bright twist, followed by a spicy hit of sandalwood.

Brunch With Friends

What you want: Tread softly when you’re going to be hanging out in a crowd—too-strong fragrances can be polarizing. Instead, go for a light scent with pretty, crowd-pleasing notes of fruits, citrus, and soft woods and florals.
Our pick: Avon Prima, a delicate floral-chypre, makes a statement that’s gorgeous, but never overpowering. It starts with juicy plum and zingy bergamot, reveals a whisper-light heart of rose, then finishes with warms notes of clearwood, patchouli, and oakmoss.

Girl’s Night

What you want: A fragrance that’s evening-ready, but still fun and playful. For that, look for a mix of florals, deep, woody notes, and juicy fruits.
Our pick: You can’t go wrong with Little Red Dress. Bulgarian rose makes it feminine and pretty, while rich red sandalwood renders it sultry and evening-
appropriate. A burst of red raspberry adds a surprising, effervescent twist.

Foolproof Ways To Pull Off Bright Makeup

Spring is here and it’s time to add a pop of color to your makeup routine! Here’s how to do it without going overboard.

Pick one feature to highlight

There’s a simple secret to not going overboard with colorful makeup: Be strategic with placement and balance the color on your face. For instance, if you dust on a bright pink blush, or wear deep green eyeliner, then go understated on your lips. If you want to work a power lip, then play down brightness everywhere else—just a sweep of bronzer and coat of mascara will make your bold mouth stand out, without looking over the top.

Tips to a foolproof bold lip

The quickest way to take your daytime look to nighttime “wow!” is with a swipe of bright lipstick. But wearing one can be a little like putting on high heels: You need to be in the mood, and you must commit to it 100%. To make sure an intense matte shade stays put (and won’t look or feel dry), apply lip balm first to create a supple, moisturized canvas. Dab off any excess before layering on a coat of lipstick, blot, then put on one more. We love mark. Lipclick Matte Full Color Lipstick in Vixen for deeper complexions and mark. Lipclick Full Color Lipstick in Salsa for olive/medium skin tones.
Lipstick hack: If hot pink or ruby red lipstick seems too intimidating, then simply apply that intense shade with your fingertip, like a tinted balm. This gives you a softer—but just as eye-catching—lip stain effect.

Blend pink or peach on your cheeks

A fresh, healthy-looking flush instantly enlivens your complexion—and who couldn’t use a little of that? Which hue is for you? If your skin has yellow/olive undertones, then try a cool pink (like mark. Cheek Magnet Hook Up Blush in Pink Fast). For skin with pink tones in it, go for a warmer rose or peach (such as Rose Without Saying or One In Melon) to offset any redness. To apply, smile big, and swirl the color over the apples of your cheeks with a fluffy brush, and voila! It’s an instant waker upper.

Get your glow on

Say buh-bye to a dull winter complexion. Bronzer is your shortcut to healthy-looking, radiant skin—no vacation needed. Remember, the goal is to look sun-kissed, not fake tanned. Here’s how to do it right: Use a fluffy brush to sweep powder bronzer on the high points of your face, where the sun hits your skin: cheekbones, temples, forehead, brow bones, and also graze the bridge of your nose and your chin. For an added layer of brightness, use the mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes as a highlight on those key spots.

Define and brighten your eyes with jewel tones

Emerald green, cobalt blue, or aubergine eyeliner may sound a little out there at first. But it’s actually a subtle way to wear richly pigmented eye makeup with no danger of looking like a Vegas showgirl. The trick is to keep the line fine and really close to your lashes (this is not a dramatic cat eye). Use a tiny brush or pencil and start at the outer corner of your upper lash line, and work your way in toward the iris in short strokes. This gives you just a trace of twinkly brightness. Keep the rest of the lid nude.
Eyeliner hack: If liquid liner seems too intense, or you don’t feel you have a steady enough hand, or you just mess the line up a little bit, don’t fret! Simply smudge the liner (with mark. Dual Ended Eyeliner and Smudger brush) slightly to create a soft-focus effect.

The 7 Best Spring Lipsticks


The prettiest accessory you can wear this season? A great new shade of lipstick! And if you’re ready to scoop up some new ones, the seven must-have colors below are the key shades you’ll want to have in your spring wardrobe. Best part: You can find them all in the new Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick line, which comes in ten gorgeous shades each infused with vitamin E, jojoba oil, and collagen. Swipe them on and your lips will be vibrant, soft, and ready for all those sunny days ahead.

1) Peach

If you like pink, you’ll love her spring-y little sister, peach. We especially love this fresh, juicy shade (our current fave: Mellow Melon) worn with matching blush on the apples of the cheeks for a monochromatic, peaches-and-cream look that instantly perks up your entire face.

2) Fuchsia

A bright, pinky-purple-y magenta like Spring Lilac makes an instant statement. Swipe it on straight from the tube for maximum impact, or pat it on with your finger for a slightly more subdued effect. So hot!

3) Nude

The right nude lipstick is a veritable shape-shifter, equally at home paired with smoky eyes for a sultry feel or worn alone for a more minimal, barely-there look. But the wrong nude can make you look washed out, or—even worse—like you painted your lips with concealer! To keep the effect flattering (and super sexy!), always go for a tawny shade with a slight sheen like Nude Truffle.

4) Soft pink

If nudes makes you feel a bit too naked, consider a neutral pink lipstick like Peony Blush. This go-with-everything shade adds a hint of subtle color that’s just right for the office, but with an added touch of face-brightening warmth to keep things feminine and pretty.

5) Red

A bold, fire-engine crimson like Candy Red is classic, sophisticated, and so, so sexy. It’s also surprisingly versatile. Pair it with a swoop of black liquid liner for a femme fatale effect or keep your face bare (save for soft blush and lots of mascara) and let your red-hot lips take center stage.

6) Berry

Red lips are a perennial evening favorite, sure, but if you’re looking for a new twist, consider a deep wine like Berry Sangria instead. Bonus: Berry lips work for every skin tone—beautifully!

7) Rose

Sweet, romantic, and just plain pretty, a rich pink like Playful Rose brings a bright pop of color to your face that feels delicate, not overwhelming.
