I've been reading about spring's newest color trend, pink and coral. I wasn't real sure about the combination for myself, being a natural redhead and all, but I thought I'd give it a try. After all, warmer weather and sunnier days are ahead, and wearing bright colors always makes me feel more energized.

So I experimented with a couple different pink/coral looks. I tried coral lips, pink cheeks. Then I tried a little pink on the eyelids, coral lips, pink cheeks. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled with the results.

I'm open to trying new things with makeup. I really do hate to get into a rut, but I think I'd prefer to try one of these colors at a time. I think it could be a fabulous look for someone with the right skin and hair coloring. Not for this redhead, freckle face girl. While it's fun to experiment, we moms have learned that we don't have to follow every trend that comes around. We know what works for us, what makes us feel fabulous, and what we like. Follow your instincts when it comes to beauty and style!
