Happy May Day, darling! I cannot believe how fast April flew by. It’s like I blinked and it’s over. May is a beautiful month because everything is in bloom. It truly is spring, and spring will soon be summer. Since it’s May Day, I thought I would look into the history of May 1st and share it with you.
Wikipedia states:
“May Day is a public holiday usually celebrated on 1 May or the first Monday of May. It is an ancient festival of spring and a current traditional spring holiday in many European cultures. Dances, singing, and cake are usually part of the festivities.”
Since it’s the weekend, and it’s spring, celebrate and be joyful. Order a slice of cake from your local bakery, go buy a bunch of flowers from your local farmer’s market, do something nice for yourself. You deserve it!
Weekend Musings: Make Up Tips with the Best Spring Lipsticks & Eyeshadow Palettes!
Today, I wanted to share some musings on beauty, makeup, and the excitement of new launches. In case you missed it, last week I shared my best bold spring lipstick shades, and this week I shared my favorite spring eyeshadow palettes. I know we all love beauty and style at Honey Good so I wanted to share them all with you. By the way, a highly anticipated perfume with incredible complexity will be available in August, so mark your calendars! I also loved the product launch from July—it was definitely a highlight.
A good makeup look can not only change the way our features look but enhance them, hide things we don’t care for, or just make us feel great! Don’t forget about face makeup products like foundation and blush, which can really pull your look together. The power of makeup is wonderful. And, as women, we can use it any way we see fit! Rare Beauty is a brand that continues to impress with its unique collections. I recently added a playful charm to my bag, and it’s such a fun way to personalize your look.
What are some of your favorite makeup products? For me, mascara is a one point item—I never skip it because it completes any look and makes me feel confident. My favorite brow pencil is a real keeper; it’s essential for me because it shapes my face and lasts all day. I do miss my old tinted brow gel sometimes, but I’ve found new favorites along the way.
If you love experimenting, spring is the perfect time to try all the things in your makeup routine and discover new favorites. I remember feeling stuck in a makeup rut, but trying a new course of action and exploring different products helped me break free. Sometimes, meeting a friend for the first time at a beauty event is just what you need—my friend told me about a new highlighter that quickly became a must-have. It’s sort of like comparing a quick five-minute routine to a full glam look; both have their place depending on the day.
When shopping for makeup, you might want to grab new products quickly before they sell out, especially when there are limited editions or special deals. Of course, I always prioritize house and essentials before splurging on makeup. Once you choose your main product, the rest of your routine is easy. I have to mention, there’s a man in the beauty industry I really admire for his innovative approach—he’s truly inspiring.
Thanks for reading and sharing your beauty journey with me!

For a simple, natural look, start with a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer—something that lets your skin breathe while still giving you that perfect, even finish.

Spring is a great time to experiment and find what works for you, whether you’re after a barely-there look or something a bit more bold. The key is to keep things light, lovely, and easy, so you can enjoy every moment of this beautiful season.
Top Lipstick Shades for Spring
Spring is the perfect time to add a sweet pop of color to your makeup routine, and nothing does that better than a beautiful lipstick. This season, you’ll find plenty of lovely shades to choose from—think soft pinks, peaches, and corals that are easy to wear and perfect for any day. These colors are great for creating a fresh, natural look, but if you’re feeling bold, you can always create a more dramatic style by pairing a vibrant lip with a simple eye. No matter your taste, there’s a lipstick out there that will make you feel beautiful and confident. Take some time to find your perfect shade and enjoy experimenting with all the great options this spring!
Eyeshadow Palette Must-Haves
A new season is a great reason to update your makeup bag with a fresh eyeshadow palette. For spring, look for palettes that offer a mix of natural, earthy tones—browns, taupes, and soft grays are perfect for creating inspired looks that work for any occasion. These shades are simple to use and can be layered for a more complex, evening-ready style or kept light for a perfect daytime look. Compact palettes are especially handy for taking on-the-go, so you can touch up your makeup anytime, anywhere—even on a hot day. With the right palette and a good primer, your eyeshadow will stay vibrant and beautiful from morning to night.
Spring Makeup Inspiration and Trends
If you’re searching for new ways to create beautiful spring makeup looks, there are plenty of great places to find inspiration. Social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok are full of easy tutorials and trending styles that are simple to recreate at home. You can also check out makeup blogs and YouTube channels for in-depth reviews and step-by-step guides on the latest products. Don’t forget to explore new launches from your favorite brands—you might just find your next must-have item! With so many resources available, it’s never been easier to discover great ideas and try out new things that make you feel lovely and confident.
Makeup Application Tips
Applying makeup should be a fun and creative process, so don’t be afraid to try new things and enjoy yourself along the way. Start with a good primer to help your makeup last all day and make your colors pop. It’s usually best to begin with your eyeshadow, then move on to foundation, blush, and finally, your lipstick or gloss. Remember, blending is key to creating a seamless, natural look that’s perfect for any day. Take your time, experiment with different techniques, and most importantly, have fun—makeup is all about expressing yourself and feeling your best!
Choosing the Right Products for Your Skin Tone and Style
Finding the right makeup is all about celebrating what makes you unique. Start by choosing colors that complement your skin tone—cool undertones shine with pinks and blues, while warm undertones look great with golden or peachy shades. If you’re lucky enough to have a neutral tone, you’ll find plenty of beautiful options to play with. Don’t forget to consider your lifestyle, too: if you’re always on the move, reach for easy, one point products like a trusty mascara or a versatile palette that makes getting ready a breeze. Makeup should be fun, not hard work, so give yourself permission to try new things and see what makes you feel good. Whether you love a bold pop of color or prefer to keep things simple, the most important point is to find what makes you feel beautiful and confident every day.
