Extreme Spring!

by Rhonda Jackson

This season’s spring mix of vibrant pastels and fresh-cut flavors will surely wake you from winters hibernation state!

First things first, get rid of that matte winter foundation and perk up your skin with this season’s new perfectly sheer foundations. They have just enough coverage to make everyone think you’ve been on vacation.

Natural, glowing skin is the best base to show off these gorgeous, fresh shades. Definitely check out Sheseido’s Sheer Enhancer Base in Golden Bronze. It works great with a drop of your favorite moisturizer to give you that "I just got a facial" look.

I’m absolutely head over heels for Bourjois Ultra light foundation. It feels like sheer silk on your skin! And for those of you who want a little extra coverage but still want a perfect match, I must say that Lancôme’s Color ID foundation with SPF 8 is almost too good to be true. The color match was so good that even my facialist asked me what I was doing!

Give a fabulous finish to your foundation with a sweep of sheer powder to keep you glowing all day long.

Try Chanel’s Satin de Chanel in Golden Dream, a soft honey shade-sheer for day and a sensuous highlight for night.

Also check out Becca’s Pressed Shimmer Powder in Princess, a rose-gold shimmer. This will give your complexion that spring morning glow!

Get Spring fever with this season’s extremely feminine eye shadow shades of lavender, citrus-green, aqua-blue, and fresh pink. There’s no need to hide behind your sunglasses with these latest hues. New cream to powder textures make it modern, fun, and not overdone!

Nars cosmetics leads the way with Fathom, a “to die for” pink tulle shaded eye shadow with a hint of silver glitter. Every girl needs this shade!

You can’t go wrong with Delux Beauty’s Cream Powder Shadow in Antique Blue, a sheer cobalt blue, Lavender, pale & pretty and Pale Olive, a gorgeous green. These colors glide on, stay on, and they’re crease resistant!

You’ll be lying across the makeup counter kicking and screaming for more when you see the newest Eye shadow Trios from Vincent Longo. In shades of Violet (three vibrant shades of lavender to violet to be exact) and Nile Lotus, an amazing golden yellow to citrus green.

To top it off, give those eyelashes the attention they deserve with new Black Orchid Mascara, a luxe black with a hint of deep rich violet. Who can resist? Get a fresh mix on those lips with Tarte’s creamy dual- ended lip liner in Sweet Tarte. One end is bronze and the other is a pinky nude.

This spring’s best glosses are by Becca cosmetics! And it doesn’t hurt that they are named after our favorite warm weather cocktails either!

The Must Haves are: Caipirinha, a nude beige, Cassis, a soft mauve shimmer, Colada, a pink gold shimmer, Frisco, a clear apricot, Granita, a light beige shimmer and Sangria, a strawberry pink shimmer.

Now …find your sandals! Spring is coming!
