My Friend Asked Me to Curate a Simple Spring Makeup Routine for Her—16 Gems I Recommended

Spring is here, so it's time to treat your makeup bag to a little refresh. My friend and I were chatting about this topic the other day, and I have to tell you exactly what I told her: Focus on products that enhance your natural beauty. You don't need to overwhelm yourself trying to re-create every micro-trend or overhaul your entire routine with viral products. These passing trends are fun to experiment with, but nothing compares to finding your perfect "my lips but better" liner and gloss, mascara that helps your lashes reach their full potential, or highlighter that gives you a twinkle in your eyes.

This is precisely why I love Thrive Causemetics. You've definitely seen its tubing mascara, but there's so much more to love from this mission-driven makeup brand, from its glimmering eye brighteners to its array of lippies. Keep scrolling to shop my curated edit of products that'll enhance your favorite features and your natural glow.

Eyes

The tubing mascara is Thrive's most popular product, but please, don't sleep on the eye brightener! I'm partial to the shimmery pink and golden champagne shades. Especially when paired with the mascara, the eye brightener will make your eyes pop like no other.

Brows

Impeccably groomed brows frame your face, and these must-haves will whip them right into shape.

Lips

Thrive has every lippie shade imaginable, from honey nude to ballet pink to effervescent fuchsia to bold cherry. These picks will help you create every look you can dream of—all while achieving a soft, pillowy pout.

Kits
