I'm feeling some of the big beauty trends for the spring but not sure if I'm going to be rocking all of these looks.
- Beige nails
Yay or nay? I find it a bit too reminiscent of the late 1990's. Wasn't a fan of it then but from what I've seen the shades are better. More on the rosy beige tones versus the brown beige of the 90's. Some of the Spring colors have a bit of shimmer in them too, which will help your nails stand out from your skin.

- Bright lips (yay from me!)
Magenta, plums, pinks. It's a candy lip color free-for-all!
One of my favorite colors is 'Schiap' from Nars. It's a hot pink that you can apply lightly or more layers to build the color up to your desired level of intensity.
Another great color is 'Resist' from Sephora's newest makeup line, Illamasqua. (The whole line is filled with super saturated, intense colors that work fantastically for Spring 2010.)

- 80's Revival (another yay from me!)
I have a feeling the 80's trends, including the over the top makeup (especially eyes) is here to stay. (Least for a few more seasons.) Bright eyeshadows, lipstick/glosses, and cheeks. Feel free to go over the top with your makeup - but you're not on the runway so try to stick to one feature to emphasize.
- Porcelain Doll (I'm already rocking this look!)
It's really flattering and fits right in with our other Spring 2010 trends. Works best with at least some sort of base covering the face (tinted moisturizer, sheer to medium coverage foundation, etc). Don't forget to put some foundation or concealer on your lids, a few coats of black mascara, lots of pink blush and a soft pink lip (think about 2 shades darker than your natural lip color). Voilà! You're magically transformed into a perfect doll-like lady, ready for spring weather! I'll try to post of a pic of the look soon.
There's no rules for your makeup so have fun! Be bold, loud and bright. Who doesn't want a little attention?
