Beauty lovers, I need to know: Does anyone else have a love-hate relationship with the constant influx of new makeup trends? I’m always tempted to recreate the trend du jour, but it’s hard to accept spending $74 on an eyeshadow palette that might not be “in” in a couple of months.
That said, this spring’s beauty trends—like angelic makeup and blurred lips—feel like a breath of fresh air. They’re the types of looks I’d actually wear every day, so I asked three of my favorite editors and beauty experts to share exactly how to re-create them. But, here’s the twist: They used only makeup from SHEGLAM. This has become an editor-favorite brand for high-quality formulas that are actually affordable. Each look costs less than $40, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at them. Keep reading for all the details.
“The first step for this look was the Melt-Touch Hydrating Primer ($8), which left my skin super dewy. As a girlie with textured skin, and someone who loves a no-makeup makeup vibe, I can’t have my base crack-a-lackin’. For spring (or honestly any season), I avoid foundation to let my skin breathe, so I just prepped my base with the Buttery Blush Stick ($8) in Chestnut Flush to warm up my complexion, and the Buttery Buff Contour and Bronzer Stick ($7) in Earthy Sepia for that perfect sun-kissed definition on my forehead and cheekbones. Personally, I really appreciate the beautiful shade ranges on these products. For a brown woman like me, who often falls between deeper and lighter shades, it’s really refreshing to have a wide range that feels like it was made for me.” — Ashlyn Delaney, associate social media editor
“Then, for the lips—the hero—I used the Cloudline Blur Lip Liner ($4) in Ash Canvas for definition, and then layered that with the Lip Veil Cushion Lightweight Lipstick ($7) in High Key for dimension. And to get that full, juicy effect, never skip the gloss! I topped my lips with the Slip Silk Lip Oil Balm ($7) in the same High Key shade. It gives a plumping, ultra-glossy finish that truly makes the lips pop.
And of course, you can’t leave the house without a good grip, babes! The Hydrating Prime and Set Spray ($7) is essential to set the look, because a girl does not have time for all that hard work to just melt away.” — Delaney

“My eyes are my favorite feature, so I want them to pop from a mile away. I swiped the Crystal Jelly Glaze Stick ($8) across my lids and used my finger to lightly blend upward to my brow bones. I opted for Peach Fuzz, a shimmery, copper-like shade, to bring out the green in my hazel eyes. I’m hopeless when it comes to eyeshadow, so this is a must-have in my makeup routine, as it doesn’t require any primer or skillful blending for a high-impact look. I can (literally) swipe it on and go! It doesn’t hurt either that it comes in the prettiest shades and has a nice cooling effect on the eyes. After that, I applied two coats of the Lashlighter Mega Boost Mascara ($6) for even more of an eye-opening effect.” — Brooke Knappenberger, Assistant Commerce Editor
“While I wanted my eyes to be the star of the show, I couldn’t neglect my face, so I used the Buttery Bling Highlight Stick ($7) to add subtle luminosity to my cheekbones. I also used it to highlight the inner corners of my eyes. And finally, a couple of dabs of the Lip Veil Cushion Lightweight Lipstick ($7) in Be Fearless, a rosy nude, tied everything together.” — Knappenberger

“Angelic makeup is less a trend for me and more my everyday glam. I focus on shimmery shadow (yes, I wear it to work), heavy pink blush, and dewy, hydrated skin. It’s such a flattering, feminine look, and you can work within the shades and undertones you’re drawn to. When it comes to the specific products I use, I took full advantage of the Crystal Jelly Glaze Stick ($8)—I swiped the Petal Luxe shade directly on my eyelid, used it as a highlight on my cheekbones and brow bone, and even dabbed a little on my cupid’s bow. It looks super luxe on the skin, with a mirror-like shine.” — Sam Holender, Senior Beauty Editor
“I’m also obsessed with the Luminous Setting Spray ($7)—it not only locks in my look for hours (seriously, this glam lasted me from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.), but also keeps my foundation from separating or oxidizing. I even throw it in my bag for mid-day refreshes. I really like that these formulas work with my skin—not against it. They add a glow to my complexion and have that lightweight, hydrating finish I crave when it starts to get warmer out. My look wouldn’t be complete without a lip combo, so I used both the Lip Veil Cushion Lightweight Lipstick ($7) in Dream Date for a peachy wash of color and Silk Slip Lip Oil Balm ($7) in Barely Blushed for a pretty shimmery shine.” — Holender
