Spring and pastels are the perfect pairing, and this year, fashionistas everywhere are embracing blush pinks, powder blues, dusty lilacs, mint greens, and butter yellows. 

However, a full-on pastel-hued outfit might feel a bit too bold for you. If that's the case, pastel makeup can be a more subtle and wearable way to get in on the trend.

Whether a wash of color over the lids, a statement-making gel liner, or a bright liquid blush, makeup is a great way to add a pop of color to your look without it being too bold or overwhelming.

Even better? The pastel makeup we found is surprisingly affordable, with products starting at just $6 (and nothing over $18). Plus, this colorful makeup will come in handy once festival season rolls around, because it's not a music festival without a fun eye look.
