Make Sure They Get Your Good Side

by R.L. Smith

For those of us whose vices are limited, whether by choice or as a function of age, we still can possess one fun and healthy vice: MAKEUP.

Push your memory and think back to the 80’s when Adam Ant’s song, “Goody Two Shoes” was hot on the charts. Does this sound familiar?

With the heartbreak open
So much you can't hide
Put on a little makeup makeup
Make sure they get your good side good side

Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside

Since spring can really hang you up the most, what is the best way to show one’s good side? For this spring, based on runway trends, it is clear you should embrace a more subtle approach to a new, natural sense of beauty. That would include powdery pastels such as blush by Becca in Princess, neutral lips with a little glam such as Mac, Viva Glam lipstick and a flawless dewy face with shimmer such as Bobby Brown, Shimmer Brick Compact in Beige, Pink or Bronze to enhance and create an ethereal look.

Oh, and did I mention honey tones whether through tanning or makeup? For just a touch of color use Laura Mercier, tinted moisturizer. If you don’t have a chance to catch real sun but want that sun kissed look try Lancôme, Soleil in medium or deep for face and body, in spray, lotion or moisturizer styles. I personally prefer the Paris Hilton route which is Mystic Tan, a spray on tan that doesn’t harm the skin because it has a base of brown sugar. Sweet! I prefer the Golden Tan Salons for my instant beach beauty.

Most important ladies, since a bare approach to makeup is imminent, you might want to pay attention to good skincare, and brow-grooming, so a la naturel can still look lovely!

I enjoy being a girl!
