Eye on Lilac

May is one of most favorite months. The weather is perfect. We celebrate Cinco de Mayo. All the pretty flowers are in full bloom. This is also the time my favorite flowers - the lilac - graces every sidewalk in New York City with their captivating fragrance. Each spring I look forward to seeing them and even though it's only in season a short while, they fill me with such joy as they always brings back so many happy memories.

When I was a child, we had not one, but two lilac trees in our yard and my parents would cut a few of the purple flowers to enjoy inside the house. My love of all things purple color did not wane through my teen years. My entire room was a rainbow of lilacs and lavenders - from the walls to the carpet and all the hanging pillows in between. During my teen years, I would love to wear these colors as eye shadows. Now that I'm grown, I had given up wearing them for more earthy colors. But the color is back in a huge way this Spring and I couldn't be more thrilled.

Purple has been a hot color in fashion the past two seasons. So why not incorporate this pretty hue in your makeup? I'm loving lilac as an eyeshadow. I love the way it compliments my hazel eyes. It's making them appear more bright, more green. And what's more is it's versatile enough color to wear if you have brown eyes as well. If you're a blue-eyed beauty and want to use the lilac eyeshadow, just be sure to keep the rest of your makeup clean and simple. And to my redhead readers, lilac will be amazing on you. Lilac is also great on all skin tones. It just the perfect happy color to have in your collection.

In addition to it's looking great on everyone, it's an easy way to change up your look in the warmer weather. Just add lots of mascara as well as a soft and pretty pink blush and gloss to keep the focus on your eyes.
