Aren't you glad it's March? Yeah, yeah, yeah; I know some of you guys are getting that last chill or still have a little snow on the ground, but check this: Spring is around the corner. And, in honor of the weather getting a lil bit warmer, and the sun getting a lil bit brighter, let's focus on one trend for makeup.

Now, most old ladies will tell you that dark eye makeup on your eyes is for hussies, and if or when it's acceptable, it's only during a Christmas party. Well, this is one time, we're telling you to ignore those old bags, and pull out your bag--your makeup bag that is--and don't tuck that black shadow away just yet.

A soft smokey eye is great for spring and it's something you can do fast and in a hurry. For a simple look, rim your eyes (top and bottom) with black eyeliner like you would do for everyday. But here's the trick: line your eyes a little thicker than usual and take your ring finger or a q-tip and smudge the line out.

If you wanna get all Beyonce "Im'ma Diva" wit it and spend a little more time on your eyeshadow, pull out those brushes, black eyeliner and your gray, black and silver shadows. Line your eye and smudge, like before. But we're 'bout to take it up a notch. Apply the gray shadow on your whole lid, up to the crease. Sweep the back shadow on the outer corners of your lid, blending it toward your nose. Use a fluffy brush and lightly dust the silver shadow to blend everything together.
