New tips for Summer!

This Summer update your look with a few simple changes to your routine. With these tips, you'll look fresh and beautiful all summer long!

1. Smoky Eyes

Smoky eyes have always been popular but the black and gray shades used to achieve them aren't always appropriate for spring. This season try smoky eyes using brown, gold, violet or green shadow. Look for eye shadow collections with four colors in the same family to easily achieve smoky spring eyes. Usually the lightest color goes on your lid area, the middle color in the crease and the darkest color to the outer corner top of your lid, for depth. The 4th color (if any) is used as a highlight - below the brow area, or in the inner corner of the eye.

2. Soft Lip Colors

Nude lip colors were hot on the runways this spring. You can get the same look by using a soft lip shade that is close to the color of your lips, then blotting and lightly brushing on face powder. If you don't want to go nude, try a shimmery pink for a pretty spring look.

3. Healthy skin

Healthy skin is always in style, but this spring it's the hottest fashion accessory. Fashion runways for Spring 2009 featured barely there makeup and flawless skin. Make sure to moisturize daily to keep your skin soft and smooth. Use a tinted moisturizer and peach blush to complete the look.

When it comes to healthy skin, regular cleaning with a natural cotton cloth and a natural, paraben-free cleanser is a sure bet. When you avoid products with preservatives (like parabens) your skin is going to be healthier, happier and acne free.

You might consider some natural organic makeup this Summer. Natural mineral makeup is not only the latest "fad" - it's also better for your skin! Safer, natural products ensure clear pores and no breakouts.
