Cosmetic Trends for Spring 2011

Makeup was created to enhance the natural beauty on a woman's face.  They create a glow to her cheekbones, bring a little color to her lips, or outline her eyes to make them stand out.  Makeup was about being very natural and almost invisible on the skin.  However the more advances with cosmetics, have expanded the creativity.  The eyeshadow colors and bright saturated lipsticks started in high fashion editorial shoots and on the runway.  For the camera to catch the look of the models makeup on the runway, the make up artist had to apply more than normal....much more! Meaning brighter colors were used, thicker  lines of eyeliner were used, long fake eyelashes were applied, and so on...so why do people use it in everyday life....

Just like fashion, we want to look like we stepped off the runway and into our offices at work. We look for the current fashions and follow the trends to get that look. That also means, the makeup.  makeup for this season are bright colors on the eyes.  Women aren't just sticking to eyeshadow just on the eyelid, but are creating a full look by extending the shadow up to the brows, creating a very bright wide eye look.  We also see women wanting bigger fuller lips, but who want s to go under the knife for that when you can just apply on a bright colored lipstick.  Bright reds, pinks, and even corals are the colors girls are using to get the "voluptuous" lips they want.  To get the glow on the cheek bones, bronzers or bright colored blushes are being used.  To wrap up the complete look of the bright and bold spring look this year, pale and smple color nail polish is a great addition to the look and creates an amazing contrast.
