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.


M.A.C Cosmetics


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.
