With the cold and snow that have been experienced for the past few weeks, everyone is now looking forward to the spring season where things will start rejuvenate and bloom all over again. So, to gear you up for this coming season, you need to know all the newest trends which are foreseen to be a massive force in the colorful world of makeup this 2013.

Skin

 The ladies’ skin is definitely going to glow even brighter this year. The catwalks are expected to be glittering more than ever, with all the models looking vibrant and fresh.

The finest way in order to attain this kind of look is by making use of light reflecting powders, foundations and primers that can catch every ray of light and shine this off your very own skin.

This kind of makeup is bound to make you younger looking and more rejuvenated but just make sure that you will not look oily instead of glowing. One thing that you can do is to use the light reflective primer than cover this up with liquid foundation which can dull its effect for a bit.

Eyeliners

You can see them almost everywhere and in fact, every passing season, they seem to become more in demand among the ladies.

This spring 2013 has not been exempted, with the makeup artists being more than happy to experiment on their models.

Out of all the options, there are two looks which seemed to outshine the rest, which include the tight yet smudged whole eye outline and the flicked-up line.

These two can both be used for any special occasion, yet for your everyday look, you might want to stick to the smudged outline which is classier and more elegant looking during day time, as long as you ensure that you keep the smudge to the minimum to avoid getting panda eyes.

Eye Shadows

Blue and green eye gammas of eye shadows seem to be the real thing this spring season and you will surely read some write-ups that any if not all of the colors that belong to these palettes can be chosen, based on the look that you want to achieve.

When going clubbing, go for the brightest versions, while the subtle ones will be perfect for work.

Apply some matter for your day to day look, with the metallic style suitable at nighttime.

Basically, just about anything can perfectly go with blue or green but make sure that you will not be wearing the two shades simultaneously, always keep the two of them separate.

Lipsticks

This spring, red spectrum lipsticks are the trendsetters, with some accent on crimson and scarlet shades. An all-time classic as far as the lipstick department is concerned, red never seems to go outdated and you can expect to see this on the catwalks this coming season.

You will also see a lot of models wearing some touch of orange, which then makes red almost like a “femme fatale.”

Should you fail to find something from the red gamma that will suit you, just go for whatever you like but make sure that everything will be kept in matte instead of covering it with a shiny lip gloss.

In the end, having a glowing skin is already more than enough.

If you are as excited for this coming spring, make sure that you follow these tips and glow in your very own way under the sun.

Spring is right around the corner and with the fresh new weather you should find the fresh new styles to bring in a fun filled summer.

A common misconception is that fashion and a spring makeover just entails clothing, but this is not the case.

If you are looking to look fresh for the spring season you are going to need to take a look at the different trends.

There are trends in the spring clothing, trends in the spring makeup, and trends in the nail art designs for spring.

To find the most fashionable spring clothing you might want to browse the internet to see the latest trends with the stars and the fashion experts. Lace is the big trend in the 2013 spring clothing lines.

There are shirts, skirts, and camisoles that are all created with a very pretty lace, in color schemes that make you think spring.

Nail art is another really big trend this spring. Most fashion experts tell young women that their nail art designs for spring need to match the clothing that they are wearing. For example if a girl is wearing a silver sweater she might want to paint her nails to match her sweater or her shoes.  A lot of the nail art designs for spring are created with more than one colour and again they are colours that will match their shoes or their sweater/shirt. If you are thinking of getting some of the popular nail art designs for spring, but find you do not have the cash, you can always try to find different web tutorials on how to create the nail art designs for spring.

Spring make up is the final step to completing a spring clothing look.

There was a few spring make up trends created during fashion week that gave everyone an understanding of what to look forward to this spring.

One of the biggest make up trends was going bare, which means a lot of the women were sent out on the runway with little to no make up.

The make up that was applied was in neutral colours and many of the women even wore lip colour that was considered matte lip colour that had little to no colour and did not have a shine. The one part of the face that was accentuated was their eyes. All of the other make-up applied in neutral colors to allow the make up on their eyes to stand out.

Remember:

Spring is a time for sunshine, flowers and glorious colours be them neutral and bare or loud and proud. It’s also a time for you to do the same with your makeup and outfit.

So dare to be different and bold as spring doesn’t last forever!

The age old advice for applying make up, has always been less is more on an everyday occurrence, but there are special occasions when you might want to learn special make up tips that will make you look your best.

During the winter months our skin can become dry and our mascara can run. To try and prevent these problems you can always learn what make up to use for winter weather. There are a lot of great make up’s for winter weather on the market today, Just checkout the colours we have on the main site for some ideas and inspiration. There is waterproof mascara and there are lots of foundations that contain moisturizer for your skin. There are even shades of blush, mascara, bronzers, and eye shadow that look the best during those cool winter months.

Applying make up for winter will be a little different than applying make up for spring or summers. Most people feel that they are pasty and need to make themselves look a shade or two darker using different bronzers and foundations, but this is a make up tips no no. In the winter it is very important to keep your skin looking healthy and not dry. Also skin tends to become red from those winter winds. Trying to combat red or blotchy skin can be difficult but a powder with light reflectors will even out your skin tones. A product called Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder is one product that can really help your dry and blotchy skin,This is one I personally use.

Your lips are also something to protect in the winter. A lot of people get really dry cracked lips that are difficult to make look great. If you apply just a chapstick you will not get any of the color you are looking for and if you apply a lip stick you might see all of those cracks. Appling a lip stain will allow you to get the color that you want, but it will blend with your natural color so no one will noticed your dry lips. Jemma Kidd Colour Adapt Gloss is a really great find.

Applying make up to your eyes in the winter is a little different than in the summer. If it is snowing out your eye shadow might smudge and run. A great make up tips is to apply a charcoal or brown eye liner to your lashes.

Eye liner is a little thicker than eye shadow making it less likely to wear away. Applying it to your lashes will give your eyes the definition that you need to make your eyes the focal point.

I hope you found this post useful and of some use for the remaining winter months and always remember summer is only just around the corner

Not every woman is blessed with long and luxurious nails that can accept nail art it its best form. There was a time when the habit of wearing white gloves didn’t only hide rough hands, but kept jagged and broken nails out of sight as well.

Now we have a solution to problem nails that make your hands look feminine and beautiful to see and to touch.

Acrylic nails have been on the market for some time now. They can make the worst looking fingernail into a thing of beauty. There are a number of lengths to choose from and when applied correctly, they can last weeks at a time needing only a quick fill where the nail has grown out.

False nails have become a boon to women. Those that used to hide their hands in shame are now eager to show them off. The only responsibility you have is to find a qualified and competent nail technician. Many learn how to apply acrylics but only the best techs will make them look just like your very own nail.

It is a process where powder and liquid are mixed to a paste consistency that is spread over the nail bed and beyond to the desired length.

It hardens rather quickly so the nail tech needs to work at a steady pace to get the desired effect. The process usually begins with a manicure to soften the hands and is completed with the addition of polish and nail art if it is desired.

As for the term false nails, it can be applied to any fingernail that is not naturally grown but today it most often refers to nails that can be purchased and applied at home. They are not meant to take the place of acrylic nails because this type of nail is prone to falling off or not covering the existing nail properly. They can be purchased clear or already polished and emblazoned with nail art. If given the option, one is wiser to opt for the acrylic nails over false nails any day.

Acrylic nails, once applied, can have the color changed as often as you like. The same goes for anything you choose to have placed on the nail in the form of nail art. You may wish to be playful and go with dots and swirls, or remain more alluring with the addition of a single diamond.

First and foremost you need to hydrate your skin so read on for our 10 tips and tricks to keep your skin looking and feeling soft and smooth all winter long.

Remove dry skin. This is called “Exfoliation”. Use a loofah or body scrub on your body to exfoliate dry skin, however, you must be much more careful with the delicate facial skin.

Even washing your face with a soft washcloth may be sufficient to gently exfoliate dry winter skin from the face. Take care with facial scrubs or peels as vigorous cleansing of the face may cause irritation or breakouts.

Drink water. Keeping your skin hydrated from the inside is added insurance to keep skin feeling and looking it’s best.

Drink up to 8 glasses of water or green tea. Caffeinated beverages rob skin of hydration, so limit coffee, soda and other caffeinated beverages

Protect skin from UV rays. It is important to use a sunscreen all year round to limit skin’s exposure to damaging UV rays.

If you moisturizer does not include an SPF just simply add a few drops of your favorite sunscreen coupled with a few drops of your moisturizer to your palm. Warm the two together and apply to your face, neck and décolleté.

Caring for your skin over-night is very important. While your body is at rest during the night it restores itself.

Make sure to cleanse all traces of makeup off your face and top with a rich moisturizer. Use a dedicated eye cream around the eye contours because the delicate skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of your face and cannot absorb the richer facial moisturizers. Rich facial moisturizers may cause your eyes to puff up and swell, so always use an eye cream on and around the eye contour.

Hand, feet and Lips. Don’t forget your extremities in the cold weather. Dry cracked heels, lips or hands may bleed or ache with discomfort.

Use a rich emollient like Vaseline or Aquaphor on hands and feet and cover with cotton gloves or socks to retain moisture while you sleep.Gently scrape away dry flaky skin with a pumice stone on feet or a loofah during your shower as an added measure.Apply Vaseline or Aquaphor on lips just prior to bed for added hydration. Licking your lips will only add to dryness and chapping.Keep lips stick with balm or moisturising ointment on all day long.

Avoid hot showers. As comforting as they may seem, they rob the skin of moisture!

Try to use tepid water and avoid extreme temperatures on the skin all year round. Follow with baby-oil or body moisturizer after your shower or bath to lock in the moisture.

Avoid Alcohol Based Skin Care Products. Alcohol is drying and will further rob your skin of much need moisture.

Look at the top 3-4 ingredients in your skin care products and avoid using these products in the cold moisture-sapping winter weather.

Use a humidifier. Keep one on overnight in your bedroom to add moisture to the air around you.

This in turn will keep the heated air from robbing the hydration from your skin.

Skip the soap. Soaps can be drying and harsh on the skin.

Use a moisturizing cleansing bar or lotion, that will be less drying. This applies to face, hands and body.

Most importantly: Add moisture. The cold outdoors coupled with overheated homes, offices and cars both contribute to drying out the skin.

Using a moisturiser appropriate for your skin type both morning and night is the absolute best way to treat dryness.
