After what felt like the longest winter outside of Westeros, spring is finally here! Sort of. Even if the weather isn’t fully cooperating, that’s no reason to still be hiding under your winter layers.

Here are some ways to brighten up your look with every shade of pink while adding some cute seasonal details to your look without breaking the bank.

Refresh your face: All that indoor heating left you feeling parched? Rael’s new Youth Island Sheet Mask with Collagen is an anti-aging mask infused with hydrolyzed collagen and amino acids. Collagen and amino acids restore elasticity, smoothing fine lines & wrinkles. It’s a nice way to pamper your skin after too much time spent bundled up.

A cute boot: Not ready to give up on your boots just yet? Frye Ray Harness Back Zip come in a muted mauve pink that’s the perfect neutral for everything from dark wash jeans to fluttery spring skirts.

Skirting the issue: Speaking of skirts, can we all collectively swoon at the cuteness of this one? Boden’s Victoria Embroidered Skirt is fully lined and comes in a super-flattering A-line style, and hides a multitude of sins, even if you packed on a few extra pounds while hibernating this winter.

A touch of (cream) blush: Jane Iredale In Touch Cream Blush in Clarity: comes in stick form so it’s incredibly easy to apply. Dot on the balls of your cheeks or blend with a sponge. Perfect to keep in your desk when the overhead office lighting has you looking more cadaverous than in-control.

Sweet nails: Smith & Cult Nail Lacquer—Pillow Pie: Note to Queen Elizabeth II and Duchess Kate, if you’re looking for a subtle spring mani update, this one’s for you. (Here’s the real reason Kate never wears colorful nail polish.) This richly pigmented, chip-resistant formula means manicures last longer. Even better, the eight-free formula means it’s free of a slew of potentially harmful ingredients. (Giving this one an A++ for being professional, ladylike and absolutely gorgeous. Get it at Dermstore).

Top it off: Remember when we were little and everyone had things like spring coats? If you splurge on only one thing this season, may I suggest a new warm spring coat? The newest styles are more like loosely constructed sweaters and tend to flatter almost every form. I’m madly in love with my new pink herringbone hooded spring coat from Social Eras. I can’t remember receiving this many compliments on a single garment. (And don’t panic if you see that the largest size is large, they are cut beautifully and generously so you can probably find one that fits.)

Pink hair, don’t care: Actress Maisie Williams, (Arya on Game of Thrones) has been sporting a gorgeous lilac/pink hair color. If you’re wondering if pink hair is still a thing, the answer is definitely yes. Salon pro haircare brand KEVIN.MURPHY’s Global Design Director Kate Reid offered some insights on pink hair. “Pastels have been getting bigger and bigger every year.” Right now “the question is more about which shade of pink rather than pink as a whole. Rose pink is our go-to for 2019 and to complete the SweetHeart look (which she created for Valentine’s Day).

Some pink hair tips from Reid:

  • Rose pink works with both warm and cool skin tones and actually sits quite neutral.

  • On cooler skin tones, work with lighter pastel rose shades or cooler dusty pinks and roses.

  • Warm skin types should ask for dense roses, antique rose to rose golds to really make the skin glow.

Kate Reid

How-To: Lucy Boynton’s Jade-Coloured Hair

When it comes to fabulous looks on the red carpet of the 2019 Met Gala, Lucy Boynton definitely turned heads with her beautiful “Jade” hair colour.

This month, Kevin.Murphy launched their new Jade toner that lasts up to four weeks and can wash out completely, making it ideal for clients who love fast fashion and want to stay on trend without the commitment.

According to Kate Reid, Color.Me by Kevin.Murphy design director, jade, peppermint or spearmint colours work well on neutral to cooler skin tones.

Their tip: The paler the sheerer you make this shade, the deeper their skin, the more opaque you should personalize this tone.

Here’s how to recreate the look using Color.Me by Kevin.Murphy

1: Prep blonde hair by washing.

2: Apply 15g Jade + 9g Natural + 6g Beige + 3.5 Vol (1%)

3: Visually develop until you achieve your desired result.

4: Rinse and apply Color.Me finishing regime.

5: Apply Heated.Defence to protect hair from heat styling tools and style as desired.

The Most Popular Hair Colors of Spring 2019, According to Top Colorists

If a major cut isn't the spring hair change you had in mind, a new hair color is another option. Just like blunt bobs, curtain bangs, and shag haircuts are the current "it" styles, every season has its hot hair colors, too.

As for what hair color you should try for spring 2019, there are a few important factors to keep in mind: Your hair's health, current base color, and how much maintenance you're willing to put in to maintain it. 

Still can't narrow down your choices? We turned to top colorists to find out this season's biggest hair color trends based on what shades have been the most popular among their clients. 

From deep chocolate brown, sunkissed strawberry, to subtle reflective highlights, this season's color trends cover all the bases, whether you're looking to go from brunette to blonde or simply want to warm up your current shade for spring. 

Ahead, all the hair color inspiration you need for spring 2019. 


Pastel Pink 

With pink hair, haivng a rosy outlook takes on a whole other meaning. Kate Reid, COLOR.ME by KEVIN.MURPHY design director, says that bubblegum pink hair like Maisie Williams's, along with other pastel shades like jade and peppermint, are only going to get bigger and bigger this season.

While you can expect a pink shade like the Game of Throne star's to last for around four weeks, Reid suggests treating your hair with a conditioning color gloss like one from KEVIN.MURPHY's COLOURING.ANGELS line to keep the color bright and balanced.

The Best New Hair Colors For Summer

Hit the refresh button on your hair with these inspired new hues.

It's almost rosé season (cue praise hand emoji) and for beauty lovers that means one thing: it's time for a new hair color—or at least a refresh. We asked Michael Bowman, Rob Peetoom advance stylist, and Kate Reid, global design director for Color.Me by Kevin.Murphy, to breakdown the hair color trends we should be trying in the warmer months. 

Honey Blonde

"Warmer tones will be everywhere this summer," says Bowman. "Think easy upkeep and non-committal looks." A warmer blonde hue (instead of platinum), like the one seen on supermodel Gigi Hadid, won't require bi-weekly salon appointments. After all, you shouldn't have to spend half the summer with foil in your hair.

Steely Stone

Reid describes stone as "a grey slate edge with a new smoky balayage color through the ends." It is also a great alternative for men who are looking to refresh color.

Rose

Rose hair is still going strong. Reid says to pull off this look, go for a dusty rose if you have a cool skin tone. Rose-pink and rose-apricot will help warmer skin tones really glow.

Golden Brunette 

Bowman says golden brunettes work with nearly every skin complexion from fair to olive. "It’s all about the placement of the highlights or balayage," he says. "Highlights heavier in the front will look better on darker skin tones. With fairer skin tones, your colorist should disperse the highlights all throughout the hair to avoid the potential of looking washed out." 

Peppermint 

Leon Bennett

Another bold color to try this summer: peppermint. The key to keeping color vibrant is good upkeep. "I like a refresh every six to eight weeks," says Reid. "Kevin.Murphy Colouring Angels has a line or warm and cool shades that work like a lip gloss to add beautiful tone and create amazing shine in-between salon visits. You just use them instead of your conditioner twice a week."

Colour Lights Are The Next “It” Trend

Move over balayage, babylights, teasylights and foilyage, there’s a new colour trend in town and it will have you booking your next salon appointment ASAP! The great thing about this trend? It works with your existing hair colour and can be tailored to your own personal style. If you’ve ever wanted to try on a fashion shade but weren’t crazy about the placement or high maintenance aspect of it, the latest trend will bridge the gap between fantasy and reality. 

Colour lights are a unique way of adding a fashion shade to the hair in a more trendy light. “I love to work with fast fashion shades with colour lights, this technique is perfect for the type of client who wants to try a trend but isn’t ready to fully commit to the upkeep or maintenance,” says COLOR.ME by KEVIN.MURPHY Design Director, Kate Reid. Think of it as swapping out your regular highlight hue for a fashion shade instead. The process is similar and with the right home care tips, prolonging the shade between appointments is a breeze. Keep reading to learn more about the trend and how to get the look!
