If every month had a color, May would be lilac for me. So here is an easy makeup look inspired by the beautiful lilac flower.
Apply your base like you normally would. For this look I am using the CHANEL VITALUMIÈRE AQUA ULTRA-LIGHT SKIN PERFECTING SUNSCREEN MAKEUP BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 15. It has enough coverage but still lightweight.
Next, I will fill in the brows with BENEFIT COSMETICS Precisely, My Brow Pencil Ultra Fine Shape & Define Mini.
For concealer I am using the Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer.
Usually, for a spring look, I like to go light, but the truth is May is such a nice time to go out. So, I decided to have some fun with the eyes and make it a bit of a smokey look. I’m going to start off with NARS Pro-Prime™ Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base. 
Next, I am going to start a foundation with the crease, using the right side of NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Cherade.  NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Callisto is going to go on the lids. Then using NARS Single Eye Shadow in Strada, I’m going to darken up the edge of the crease as well as the bottom lash line.

For the cheeks I used BENEFIT COSMETICS Dandelion Box o’ Powder Blush Mini, which is great because you can throw it in your purse for touch ups. Add mascara and a pinkish nude gloss and you are out the door.
