I can't believe tomorrow is Easter!! ♡
Before we know it, April will be coming to a close and May will be right around the corner. I can't say I'm going to miss April, however. That whole "April showers bring May flowers" thing seems to be in full effect where I live - it has been raining constantly!! So I'm like "rain rain, go away" and show me the pretty flowers.
Anyway, in keeping with this springy-eastery time of year, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite holiday videos. Surprisingly, I didn't find a whole bunch popping up on my subscription feed lately. It seems most gurus are focusing on prom-related tutorials rather than Easter ones rn (that stands for "right now" in case you live under a rock and didn't know).
The few I did find, though, are pretty awesome and I'm sure you'll enjoy them. When I think Easter makeup, I think really light, natural makeup with some pastel colors thrown in there for fun. So that's likely what I'll be rocking tomorrow.
Let me know what you beauties will be doing!
And check out the videos below for some inspiration if you're not quite sure yet ♡

Obviously, Bethany Mota takes the cake for best Easter video, in my opinion. She's just so cute! And creative! I love the little snack idea she shows at the end of the video. I won't spoil what it is, but it's adorable and I'm definitely going to be trying it out.
Any avid viewer of Beth knows she's a bit more into fashion than she is makeup, which is totally cool with me. The makeup she does show in this video, however, is just perfect for Easter and certainly what I would be likely to wear. She goes with a simple, shimmery, light pink eye, non-dramatic winged liner and a light, natural lip gloss to finish it off. Perfection.
The outfits are what really make this video. Seriously. She is so style-ish... which clearly explains why she has her own clothing line at Aeropostale now! I'm not going to comment too much on the fashion, since that's not really my thing, but I love taking outfit inspiration from Beth's videos. Check out this one if you're having a tough time deciding what to wear tomorrow!

This video is just a simple "Get Ready With Me" - no voice over though. Meh. I kind of love GRWMs that are talk overs - not talk throughs - because I think it helps explain the techniques and products being shown a bit better. Don't you agree??
The content is still awesome, though. Sam Schuerman is gorgeous. And I pretty much love every makeup video she puts out.
First of all, everyone keeps featuring the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette in their tutorials!! Sam uses it in this one, too, which is doing nothing but further convincing me that I need these shadows in my life. So there's that.
What I love the most about this look, though, is the smudged top eyeliner. I LOVE how smoky, yet soft, it makes the eye makeup come out. I always use a brush when attempting to do that but Sam just uses her fingers. Perhaps that's the trick? It must be considering mine never looks as good as hers. Lastly, the pale, pastel yellow on the lids really brightens up the look and makes it super fresh and fun. I just luuuuuuv it.

So, obvi, Carli Bybel is like, beyond stunning and super talented. She's just incredible, as is this look. Remember how I said, to me, Easter makeup is fun, pastel colors?! Well, here it is. Though this look isn't as natural as I would probably go for the holiday, I am obsessed with this eye look.
I've been eyeing this Galaxy Chic palette from BH Cosmetics for quite some time now, but I never actually purchase it for some reason. I think that's about to change, however. The colors in that palette are literally me. And I need them. Now.
I love love love the idea of lining the lower lash line with not just one bright color, but two! I think it really gives the look a lot of dimension and takes it up a whole bunch of notches.
The only thing I will say is that I can't stand the way Carli does her eyeliner. I know it's kind of her signature look, but I don't think over-extending the liner into her inner corner does anything for the eyes. Otherwise, I think this tutorial is wonderful. Plus, I'm all about big lashes and so is Carli. However, she CURLS HER LASHES for like, the first time ever in this video. It's a rare occurrence, so I had to make note of it. Go witness it for yourself since you may never have the chance to again.
