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.
