The spring 2011 runways exploded with vibrant hues that were avant-garde, playful and bright. The trend of Color Block is the art of combining the use of two or more blocks of color whether it is a top, bottom, tunic, a dress and even a handbag or shoes. In simple words, color-blocking is creating an outfit by putting areas or blocks of solid color next to each other. 

There are many ways to follow the trend. You can simply buy a color-blocked dress, skirt or shirt. Or try to mix and match yourself. The easiest way to do it is to pair a bright hue with a nude hue or stick with different hues of the same color. Once you are at ease with it, you can try to pair two bold colors. Then, you can take color-blocking to the next level with accessories. 

How to match the right colors? One easy advice to remember: opposites attract. The best formula: one bright, one bold, one neutral. Remember that neutral is not necessary nude so try grey, brown and black! 

In makeup, color-blocking means you can play with colors! Mix and match, dare bold or bright colors. No rules, just fun!

Here are some matches you can try:

1. Blue, Yellow, Orange 

2. Chocolate Brown, Pink, Peach 

3. Purple, Bright Blue, Teal 

4. Deep Blue, Bright Pink, White 

5. Coral, Grey, Nude
