Pastel Makeup: Not Just for Easter Eggs Anymore
'Tis the season for a new Easter dress, a bonnet trimmed in flowers, songs about new life, and crocuses springing through cracks in the sidewalk. Maybe you're even lucky enough to have a mom/kid/friend who will join you in dyeing Easter eggs every shade of the pastel rainbow, in which case, these pale-hued makeup looks will make sure you look at least as good as your Easter basket. Why should the eggs co-opt all the color?

Lavender Hair
Blonde hair can easily go lavender for the day with a temporary wash of color. The less committed can go wild with the pastel hair chalk.

Lavender Brows
Set off your Easter eyeshadow with a brow worthy of all the attention. (Hint: hair chalk, take two.)

Yellow Lipstick
We tried it once so you didn’t have to, and it turns out yellow lipstick is just the nude lip’s cool cousin.

Baby Blue Cat-eye
A heavy black cat-eye has no role in the Easter festivities, but you can keep your favorite flick if you just lighten up a bit.

Baby Blue Everywhere
Dust the palest blue eyeshadow above, below, and to the sides of your eyes. Stick to a pastel blue with lots of white in it, and you’ll be safe.

You won’t look like a zombie if you don’t act like a zombie.
