Thank us later for the inspo on this list ;)

Kevyn Aucoin The Neo-Limelight
This highlighter has us drooling over its microfine powder (making for a foolproof application) and luminous finish. You can even use it on your lips or as an eyeshadow (the purple really makes green eyes pop!).
Deborah Lippmann Sweets for My Sweets Polish Set
Is it just us, or do these pastel polishes scream spring? Rock one color on both hands or mix and match a different shade on each finger for a look that will surely have you feeling and looking fly.
Anastasia Moon Child Glow Kit
Stray away from the typical gold and champagne highlighters and opt for something a bit more colorful for spring. Sweep one (or all!) of these pastel, holographic shades on the cheekbones. Craving a little more glow? Apply on your eyes or body too!
Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick

NYX Color Mascara
One of the easiest ways to inject pastel color into your makeup is with a colored mascara. It’s a subtle but noticeable way to step into spring and you don’t have to overhaul your routine (AKA, it’s affordable!). This product comes in eight bright shades, but we’re partial to this lovely coral color.
Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon
: Make your eyes the focus of your makeup with a few smudges of a light purple liner. It’s easy to apply and gives a super bold color payoff. The long-wearing formula doesn’t hurt, either!
