Spring is officially here ,which means, fresh makeup colors are in the air! I always love a season change, because I get to play around with the latest color trends in makeup.  One thing we can always count on with spring is a “fresh face” look, which is usually refreshing after bold lips and a harsher eye for a typical winter trend. 

This spring is all about feeling peachy.  Gorgeous, apricot, coral, and peach shades are filling up the cosmetic booths for both lip and cheek colors. Thankfully these pops of color can be worn on all skin shades. Simply follow one simple rule, the lighter your skin color is, choose the lightest shade of peach, and the deeper your skin tone goes, go deeper with the coral or apricot tone.  If you can’t find the right shade in one brand, keep browsing, eventually you’ll find a perfect peachy pop for your cheeks and pout.

Now, get out there and give yourself and your makeup collection an instant update with these spring shades. And who wouldn’t want to look and feel warmer and brighter these days?

Every so often it’s nice to be reminded of what’s not so “in” anymore. I gatherd up a few of my  top peves.

As far as hair goes:

•  ”Chunks” are out , as in highlights. This not only looks out-dated but it looks tacky and cheap.
•  Hair that is too dark can make you look stark and pale, especially in the colder months. Try a chocolate shade oppose to a blue black. This will keep you from looking older than you want to look. Too dark of hair can bring out the not so flattering lines and textures on your face.

Skin, Body, Face:

• If you’re tanning everyday, or on a regular basis and you’re looking like you’ve just gotten back from the tropics, not only are you severely jeopardizing your health, but you look like a freak of nature. Please stop. There is a difference between a “healthy glow” and  future skin cancer patient.
• Brows; Natural, full brows that are groomed and have shape are in-style, and most flattering. So, if you’re still sporting the two rows of hair above your eyes, you need to cancel your next brow appointment and make it for about six months to a year. Unless you’re a drag queen, you need to start growing those baby’s out.
• Makeup; A “full face” is not appropriate unless you’re onstage. If eyes are heavy, keep the rest of the face neutral. And if lips are dark, keep your eyes light and natural. Cheeks should be kept light with a heavy lip.

Hope this helps!
