beauty trend to try -- barely-there makeup.

 
COVETING: Ella Moss Lanie Flat
www.piperlime.com; $168 
As much as I love my favorite riding boots and Hunters, I'm definitely ready to trade them in for my far more expansive wardrobe of flats for everyday wear -- and I think that these pretty, colorblocked Ella Moss ones would fit in perfectly.  I love the pink toes and heel, and the navy serves as the perfect transition between the bright and neutral.  These would be absolutely darling with a pair of rolled-up boyfriend jeans or a dark pair of skinnies and a fitted jacket.

Makeup is a great way to play with punches of color in the wintertime -- a bold lip can have such an effect against a snowy landscape.  But as dreary days wear on and my energy is sapped, I find myself drawn to fresh-faced looks that are easy to pull off now but will look positively effervescent come springtime and sunshine.  So I've turned to some of my favorite bloggers for inspiration on looking effortlessly lovely.

Those flats are too cute! I wear "barely there" makeup a lot. Kind of my go-to look!

I always keep my makeup pretty low key, sometimes adding a little bit of color with the lips. My mom always says that the point of makeup is to make you look like you aren't wearing any!

Looking fresh and natural is always much better than having tarantula mascara lashes, in my book :-)
