Spring Makeup Trends 2011

Of course, the makeup colors you choose should also be appropriate for your skin tone and your personality. They should also suit your facial features, which will enhance your beauty naturally.

Honeysuckle was chosen as the color of 2011. The color is a rosy, pinkish color with peach undertones. Most every woman can wear both pink and peach successfully, so that’s terrific news! Go as bold or as soft as you want; whatever makes you feel comfortable with your color choices.

The color honeysuckle is energizing, dynamic, and engaging. Anyone who wants to ward off the blues would do well in choosing bright pink colors. The color was chosen because it signifies the return of a better economy and a more confident future. The rosy shade will appear on everything from wedding dresses to kitchen counters and VISA cards.

When it comes to color choices in your spring makeup, the sky's the limit! Bold shades of red lipsticks have softened to softer, fruitier shades. Juicy shades are fresh, fun and optimistic and look great on most all complexions.

Spring Makeup Trends 2011

Eyeshadow Spring Makeup Trends

To keep in sync with the bold honeysuckle color, eye makeup is following suit with bright shades of eyeshadows. Use vivid shadow colors of purple, yellow, emerald, turquoise, or orange. Sassy, bright eyeshadows help to draw attention to your eyes so use them when you can. The one draw back to using bold colors is that once they’re applied, you really need to keep them in place. Eyeshadow primers can help keep your shadows locked down. Using primers gives you one less thing to worry about with your crazy fast paced schedule!

To get the best value, use Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

Shimmering eyeshadows are still very ‘in’ as well as smokey eyes, which are great for evening wear. Both are very alluring and can help you seduce your gallant knight!

And don't forget about peel off shadows. These are fantastic for ladies on the go!

Eyeliner Makeup Trends

Your eyeliner is only as good as the way you apply it. Since flashy is in, choose kohl dark chocolate or black pencil liners to help accent bold eyeshadow colors. Line the rims of your eyes in black to steal charming eye appeal. If you’re using saucy shadow colors, try not to mix and match too many colors around your eyes. You don’t want to look like a color explosion gone wrong.

Optionally, use pencil white eyeliners on the rims of your eyes or along your upper lash lines. White liners can really perk up your eyes and make you look well rested, even when you’re not. They also make you look more youthful and alert.

If you have a night out on the town, line upper lash lines with dark liquid liners. Make the lines as thick or thin as you want. To look seductive, apply the liner from thin to thicker towards the outer eye. This opens up your eyes and makes them look larger naturally. Smudge pencil eyeliners underneath for deep set, enchanting eyes.

Mascara Spring Makeup Trends

Long lush lashes are all the rave this year. Loreal Voluminous Million Lash Mascara and Maybelline Falsies Volume Express are two new mascara’s on the market you won’t want to do without this year! Both are very affordable and give you those lengthy thick lashes that you love!

You can also opt for false lashes if you’ve got a hot date or a swanky party to attend. There are so many styles and choices to choose from, so no one gets left out! If you’ve got sparce lashes, opt for full sets of false eyelashes. If you’ve got full lashes but need a few here and there to fill any voids, opt for individual false lashes. You just can't have too many!

Blush Spring Makeup Trends

Pinks or rosy blush colors to keep in sync with the bold honeysuckle colors this year. Again, go as spunky or bright as you want but don’t use so much that your face looks distorted! The trick to bodacious blush colors is to blend, blend, blend, after application. You’ll need a large makeup brush to help you even out blush on your cheeks so that your face looks unpretentious, yet sophisticated. Blush should be applied so your cheeks glow in perfect harmony with the rest of your foundation.

Lipstick Spring Makeup Trends

Bold lips are back in style but hot red lip colors are replaced by hot pinks and orangey lip colors. Matte colors are a hip choice to make. After you apply matte lipsticks, be sure to blot your lips with a tissue. Then set matte colors in place with an ever so light dusting of loose powder. Apply a gloss over your lipstick to enhance the size of your lips and to draw out matte colors.

There are many bold color choices this year, but don’t get so carried away that you forget about balance. If you like sizzling lips for example, then opt for softer eyeshadow colors. According to the most trendy makeup artists, you should only enhance one facial feature at a time. Choose which feature you want to enhance the most, then play down the rest of your face. Of course, glamor gals may want to enhance 2 features or more, so that's totally up to you. Spring makeup trends are also a matter of personal preference!

Accessories: Oversized glasses and sunglasses. Rectangular, colored frames are a big trend!

Structured bags: The 'ladylike' look for handbags continues into this year. It adds instant polish and is still reminiscent of a retro chic with a modern twist.

Shoes: Platform heels, architectural shapes and fun colors are still going strong in 2011.

Longer skirts: This season there are a lot of longer lengths, and not just on evening gowns. Every length from midi to maxi is making an appearance.

Seventies-inspired: High-waisted jeans, disco-inspired halter dresses, and jumpsuits are all hip for spring and fall collections.
