Spring Makeup Tips
Some of us are still buried under feet or inches of snow, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start thinking and dreaming of what our Spring makeup will look like this year. Here are some spring makeup tips for you:
- Go for “the glow” – Spring makeup brings out the rosy glow that winter had taken away from your face. Begin the glow regimen with a skincare masque to hydrate your dull, dehydrated winter skin.
- Use a tinted moisturizer as foundation – and try even going a shade darker than your natural complexion (to add warmth).
- A bronzer is ESSENTIAL – apply a light dusting of bronzer where the sun would naturally hit the face – cheek bones, bridge of nose, forehead and chin.
- Stay away from terracotta orange bronzers of the past – opt for more natural brown tones.
- Don’t be too obvious – Class favors the look of rosy pink blush worn under bronzer. It mimicks an afternoon spent in the sun, without the obvious “made up” look.
- Your eyes should shimmer – Eyes for spring are awash in light, luminescent finishes, not heavy liner and dark shadows. Try neutral shades such as copper, gold or champagne lit with sparkle (to flatter all skin tones and ages). Add a touch of shine to the eyes’ inner corners using an almost-white, shimmery powder or cream. Class also favors a bare-eyed look, with minimal shadow and a coat of mascara – to allow glowing skin to take center stage.
- Brush your lips – A gentle brush will exfoliate dry lips and give a plumping effect.
- More lip power – A bit of neutral shimmery eye shadow drawn very subtly over the top lip can accentuate the shape. Also, using a pearly gloss dabbed just in the center of the lip will help to make them look fuller.
- Spring 2009 colors – Glowing, soft and feminine are all the buzz for the face of spring 2009. Here are the colors that will help you to get there – Gold, Peach and Lilac.
That’s all for today .. hope you found these Spring makeup tips useful!
