Spring 2022 Beauty Trends We're Definitely Here For

Ready or not, here comes spring! Slowly but surely, the facemasks are coming off and that could mean the return of all-over makeup looks, and not just on Zoom --- out there in the big, wide world. If you haven't heard the news, lots of walkable places in the DMV are relaxing the rules when it comes to masking. Even the Smithsonian lifted its mask mandate, which means visitors can choose what they're comfortable with when it comes to covering up in all eleven museums plus the National Zoo. (Look out pandas, here we come!)

While we might be a little out of practice when it comes to getting all dolled up for a day in the city, today on Zeena Uncovered, we're sharing a few springtime beauty trends to inspire you for the season ahead. 

Lovely Lip Gloss

There is beauty in wisdom and this season, the age-old rule, "less is more", is actually trending. Lose the heavy lipsticks and reach for a lightweight gloss in tropical nudes or sheer cherry blossom tones.

Cream Blush

Reign as the queen of glowing, moisturized skin with a tinted cream blush. We love a quick, dab-a-doo using a swipeable stick applicator. Ditch the brush too. All you need are your fingertips to blend some sun-kissed color into those cheeks.

Fluffy Brows

Come as you are. Fluffy, natural, born-this-way brows are here to stay -- but only if you help them stay in place. A little clear brow gel can work wonders for your makeup bag. As an added bonus, a good brow gel can double as mascara for those on-the-go days.

Minimal Manicures

Make a statement this spring with an elegant, minimal manicure that will speak volumes for your style. Next time you visit the salon, start with a neutral topcoat, then ask for Skinny French Tips in black or in your favorite color. Gradient looks and pastel palettes are also going to be big this season. And for those of you with a playful side, try Olive & June nail stickers for a tiny pop of personality!
