Season inspires new makeup looks

Category:News Center

Think about it, when's the last time you really cleaned out your makeup bag? And what better time than spring for a fresh start? Spring is here and along with the season change comes some new makeup trends. Whatever your budget, day or night, the season's latest trends are sure to make you shine. To inspire you this season, three fresh spring makeup looks are offered by leading brands M.A.C Cosmetics, Bobbi Brown and Shu Uemura.
Many women's first experience with fashion and beauty was in playing with a Barbie Doll. Today, this fantasy continues with Barbie Loves M.A.C, a limited-edition color collection that allows women to rediscover the girl within.

Inspired by most girls' favorite doll, the gorgeous shades of pink, green and plum provide the flawless look of Barbie with a modern twist.

To create this look as adorable as the iconic doll, the first step, however, is to create a transparent, flawless face. To achieve this, apply Select SPF 15 foundation and set your skin glowing with a light dusting of Select Sheer Powder.

Then move onto the eyes and apply a light covering of Swish Eye Shadow to the eyelid using the 217 Brush. For the creases, apply the Pink Freeze Eye Shadow to highlight the inner corners and Scene Eye Shadow onto the outer corners using a 219 Brush to blend from outside to inside. The color gradually fades as it gets closer to the middle where you will stop brushing.

Line upper and lower lashes with a generous amount of Point Black Liquidlast Liner to create that dramatic look. Amp up lashes using Pro Longlash mascara. Apply as many coats as desired but keep it bold.

Apply Pink Swoon Blush to contour the cheeks and use Delicacy Iridescent Powder to highlight your face using the 182 Brush Buffer.

The look completes the very pinky lips. Apply a coat of Girl About Town Lipstick and follow with a coat of Pink Poodle Lipglass for glamorous shine.
Inspired by the beauty discovered in bold contradiction, Shu Uemura launched the Paradox Mode Makeup Collection that is designed to bring out beauty in the unexpected.

The Spring/Summer Paradox Mode Makeup combines contrasts for an inspiringly-fresh beauty of bold contradictions where soft, subtle femininity and radical masculinity sensually collide. It combines masculine elements with feminine colors.

The color palette includes several shades of pink, white, yellow and lilac, but these are not presented in the traditional feminine manner.

If bored with the usual girly collection, Paradox has just what you need. It is all about a collision of bold and subtle, between powerful and strong eyebrows and feminine pink cheeks and lips.

To create thick and natural eyebrows, the first step is to choose a brow pencil or brow powder that is one shade lighter than your hair color. The brows should look blended rather than drawn on.

The step for applying blush is unique. Draw on the eyebrow from the peak of the arch by moving the pencil to both sides in the same direction as hair. Use the brush to spread evenly and comb gently to form a natural bold brow line.

Apply blush from the right forehead to the left cheek area with the appropriate brush. Make sure to keep the skin there clear and that it comes in the most amazing pink flush.

For a party look, don't forget to wear new Shu Uemura false lashes and shimmering glossy lips for that shiny touch.
Inspired by wild flowers she saw while traveling out west, Bobbi Brown releases its Violet Look for spring. Violet makeup shades are fresh, pretty and vibrant.

The first step toward this pretty makeup application is clean, well-hydrated skin.

Bobbi's Vitamin Enriched Face Base and Hydrating Eye Cream are ideal moisturizers to prepare all skin types for flawless makeup application.

It should be followed with a Corrector for extra dark circles. Pat lightly under eyes and then follow with a yellow-based shade of Creamy Concealer Kit.

After the concealer, apply foundation in the formula that's suited to your skin's needs. Set with a light dusting of Sheer Finish Pressed Powder.

For cheek makeup, dust the Pale Pink Blush on cheeks with the Blush Brush. For eyebrows, apply Mahogany or Rich Brown Eye Shadow with the Eye Brow Brush.

To make your eyes pop and look "fresh," sweep Eye Shadow Lilac on the entire eyelid and apply Eye Shadow Eggplant from the lash line to the crease and give the eyes added definition.

Define eyes with the star product Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner (Violet Ink or Chocolate Shimmer Ink) with the Ultra Fine Eye Liner Brush in an easy dip-and-stroke action to smudge a line along the upper lash line.

Finish with black No-Smudge Mascara to define, curl and lengthen lashes without smudging and flaking.

Brown balances the fresh, vibrant color on eyes with a range of neutrals for lips. Apply Caramel Lip Color. Scented with a refreshing hint of peppermint, Lily Tint is applied to add texture to lip color.
