Spring 2010

1. Loose buns are classy and timeless.

2. Rummage around for red...lipstick that is. Red lips continue to be classy for spring. Just remember to keep your eye makeup light.

3. Long lashes are big. A huge trend are 'permanent' false lashes applied individually. They last a couple weeks & are especially big on the West Coast. Not ready to go the glued route? Layer on the mascara. Several coats should do you.

4. Don't overbronze. Fake tanned skin is in again, but don't go overboard ala 'Dancing With the Stars' George Hamilton. Instead, try layering your fake tan with a light tanning creme set with a tinted moisturizer or a bronzing powder. The best thing about bronzed skin? You can go light on the rest of your makeup. We love bronzed skin paired with a pink lip gloss & mascara.


5. Long wavesare still hot, while straightening irons still are not. Ironed hair has been out now for a couple seasons & it stays out for spring. Instead, opt for straight, but full hair with a few loose waves you can get via Velcro rollers or winding hair around a full-barreled curling iron.

6. Spring is all about shimmer. We love the look of shimmer on eyes & cheeks, especially on tanned skin. Here's a how-to on getting the glow.

7. Coral is not just for Floridian retirees. Coral is in this spring for women of all ages. 'O' magazine trumps it as the perfect shade when pink feels cliched & red is just too vampy. The deal with coral is to stay away from mattes & opt instead for glosses & lipsticks that you apply with your finger (the stick itself can make the color too heavy).
