Spring 2009 Makeup Trends
April 8, 2009 by Marilyn Etzel
Well, spring is almost here. As the winter clothes come off, a new you waits to burst forth. No one wants to greet the warmer weather unless they look their best. You can put your best face and foot forward with this forecast for the spring 2009 makeup season.
What do people notice about you first? Is it the look of your eyes? If so, then give them something to dazzle them. The smoky look is in this season. That mysterious look works for day and evening activities. Men like a woman who hides secrets behind her eyes.
Want the smoky look but don't know how to get it? Start by applying a dark shade of eye liner to your upper and lower eye lids along the lash line. On the upper lid, use a metallic or pastel shade of color. Smudge the two together on the upper lid and slightly smudge the lower liner to create the look you want.
False eyelashes can further draw attention to your eyes and that smoldering look you've created. Falsies have always been behind the scenes but they are once again taking center stage. When using them, apply the longer lashes on the outer edge of the eyelid.
This smoky look can be toned down during the day by keeping your makeup overall soft and natural. Use mineral makeup to do the trick. It contains a mineral blend designed to enhance your skin's health. As your body temperature rises, the minerals melt into your skin for a more seamless look. There are no streaks or telltale makeup lines.
Mineral makeup has more than one color. You can find several beautiful shades for cheeks, eyes and foundation. Use a foundation always before applying any other makeup to your face. Mineral makeup has the distinction of being healthy for your skin and hiding little imperfections. In blush, choose warmer tones like pinks for your face. It brings out the warmer highlights in each person's skin tone.
It's okay to shimmer. Add a bit of sparkle to your eye color as well as your blush. Opt for crmes that contain shimmering ingredients to give your skin that sun kissed look.
What about those lips? The trend has always been to go for bold and that meant the blood red look. This season, make a statement with a more kissable look enhanced with shades of peach and pink. Don't forget to line your lips in the same shade as your lip color. The days of dark lip liner paired with red lips are long gone.
The soft look of lips is complemented with a softer look to the eyes. Stick with one coat of mascara so you don't look like you are trying out for a part in a horror movie. Lighter shades of eye color like lilac also add to the simple yet sexy look.
You can add color if you like to live on the edge. Dull skin can be brought back to life with pouty red lips. Complete that look with a swipe of blush just below the cheekbone, sweeping from the nose out towards the ears.
Throw off that winter face with darker metallic tones and go for pretty but simple. This spring you can add some color while keeping the natural look to your face.
