Spring La femme

by Rhonda Jackson

The last frost has lifted and spring blasts in with a kaleidoscope of heavenly colors and super sexy textures that will make you swoon for more!

Ditch your winterized foundation and let the sun shine in with a fresh look for your skin with Becca Cosmetics Luminous skin perfector in Topaz with spf 20 (a sexy-sheer bronzy foundation that lets your skin shine through). For those of you that may need a little cooling off before applying this seasons hottest shades for spring, check out Smashbox Backdrop cooling tint with spf15 (a flawless foundation that gives a cooling sensation to your face – thanks to cucumber and aloe extracts- oh, and did I mention the that the cooling sensation lasts up to 30 minutes!)

Inspiration for this Springs makeup looks come from the girl next door/ a la 1980’s Brooke Shields Calvin Klein ads; to the colorful funky bohemian (think Gwen Stefani), to the chic golden girl (like Halle Berry and Charlize Theron). You pick your look; depending on your mood…one thing for sure it’s all about you!

Eyes
Cargo sets the pace this season with eye shadows and cream eye shadows that turn up the wattage! Colors such as Mojave (a rich shimmering gold) and Carmel (a buttery iridescent cream) will give any skin tone that megawatt shine. If you can’t wait for the sun and need a quick fix, check out Smash box Artificial Light. Add a drop of this beautiful luminizing lotion to your foundation and watch your dull winter skin change to a soft spring morning glow!
Spring beckons change, and change is always good, so show your individuality with Becca cosmetics 70’s vintage glamour inspired eye powder colors. We love Tussah (a fierce taupe), Chintz (deep khaki green), Jacquard (rich copper shimmer), and Shantung (antique bronze shimmer). Add some lush lashes to your look with NARS mascara in Black Orchid (jet black with a hint of deep purple); this mascara will give your eyes a sensual look that will have you flirting all day long.

Cheeks
Bronzers and shimmer powders still lead the way to giving your skin that look of perfection and radiance that we all dream about. Everyone will be dreaming about you, when you are seen in Bobbie Brown Rose shimmer brick! Truly a must-have, this multi hued shimmer will give you that rosy glow, even on rainy spring days. Becca Cosmetics Pressed Shimmer Powder in Athena causes quite a stir when blended over renewed skin. This sheer blend of golden brown, and caramel will have you feeling like a spring goddess. Last but not least, be sure to check out Smashbox Golden Beige blush. Straight off the runways of the spring collections in LA, this is the color that will give new meaning to “spring fling” …get my drift?

Lips
Pretty, pouty lips give the finishing touch to any look you choose to rock this spring. Good luck picking one gloss to dazzle; here are my favorite lip smackers of the season:

• Duwop Venom Gloss in Tulip (a sheer clear red)
• Nars Gloss in Orgasm (a pink gold)
• Becca lip gloss in Daiquiri (a sheer rose)
• Smashbox lip gloss in Shimmering golden red
• TeLeclerc lip-gloss in Papaya (a blend of champagne gold and peach).
  

Happy Spring doll face!
