| Spring 2009 makeup trends
You're probably wondering why we put this is in the skin section of the magazine, well folks spring 2009 is all about beautiful moist skin. Generally makeup is softer and more understated.
For Eyes:
It's all about femininity this season. Eyebrows are thinner more feminine looking (but not super thin or too manicured), eye makeup is featuring softer, more neutral colors or softer pastel colors. Smokey eyes this season are more violet or lilac so they work for everyone. Another trend are false feminine eyelashes, just to add an extra sex appeal.
For Skin:
Skin this season is very naturale, but with a moisturized, illuminated look. (We're not talking oily though), just hydrated with nicely contoured features. Now is when those contouring pens and creams are really worth it. If you're not sure how to do this, don't fret just read our next article! Colors to contour with are natural colors-soft pink, peach and light plums. The key is your skin should look effortless and flawless, so make sure your makeup is lightweight and looks natural, almost barely there in day light.
For Lips:
Lips are in again. Like past seasons we've noted, nude and pale lips are still in. If that's not your thing and you want color make sure it's lighter in color, so there is a hint (not a wash) of color. Lips are also healthy and hydrated looking, but not like you just ate a pork chop look-just moist. So lay off the heavy gloss, sparkles and heavy colors and go light this season.
