Spring Makeup That's Prettier Than a Bunch of Flowers

There are dozens of new spring makeup launches right now. These are the ones inspired by beautiful spring blooms that we picked just for you

Spring makeup is rarely controversial. While fall trends can border on Goth or grunge -- and make me roll my eyes and say "never going to happen" -- spring trends are just plain pretty.

French macaron-inspired nail polish shades? Yes, please. Eye palettes that look like Easter egg coloring kits? I'll take two.

Right now, my desk has piles of cotton candy pink and robins egg blue makeup -- and nothing makes me happier...except the collections that are covered in flowers. They make me downright giddy.

Give me eyeshadows embossed with lilacs and blushes stamped with roses, and I'm in love. Sure, it's not the most original concept, but let me tell you: The new spring makeup for 2013 raised the bar on flower-inspired makeup for years to come.

Here are the prettiest bloom-ified spring makeup products (and some floral nails, and makeup brushes just for fun). After all, when it comes to spring makeup, there's no such thing as gilding the lily.

I'm surprised that Total Beauty didn't include Estee Lauder's Mad Men blush for spring 2013! The packaging is GORGEOUS, and the sheer wash of color is perfect for spring.
