Three hot make-up trends for Spring/Summer 09

Natural beauty – fresh/polished

Keep skin clean with a touch of mineral foundation. Sweep illuminator on your cheekbones and nose to create delicate drama that is both day and night appropriate.  You can also highlight the corners of the eyes to create a fresh glow. 

Go lash tastic girls - this look can take it - curl your lashes and pump them up with a few coats of extra volume mascara. Finish the natural look with barely there lips in tones of soft pink and nude.

Matt lips – sporty/sophisticated

Kors and Cynthia Rowley both went for Audrey Hepburn glamour  this season with strong matt lipstick in vibrant shades of red, orange and peach.

With this look be sure to keep your cheek color to a minimum with a hint of barely there blush in the same hue as your matt lip stick.

On the runway hair was sleek and sporty with low, polished ponytails oozing shine and sophistication - great for bad hair days AND all of you time crunched divas!

Cats eyes – feline-tastic!

Line your upper eyelids drawing them upwards and outwards with black eyeliner. Opt for pencil if your hands are not steady enough to draw a perfect line in liquid.

Line your lower lids and smudged the liner into the lashes with a clean brush or sponge tip applicator. Upper and lower lashes get an extra coating of mascara for this look giving it the va va voom it deserves!

As always ladies, when your eyes are SOOOO dramatic keep lips to a minimum in nude and pink tones to avoid serious distraction to others!

On the runways this look was paired with hair that had a masculine edge - very sleek ponytails - however this look is uber feminine and will look good with almost any do.

Trying all of these looks at once could make you subject to serious public ridicule.
