Pretty Sweet 
                      Spring Beauty~

The Look
Sun-kissed cheeks, sheer pastel shaded eyes and glossy lips are the fresh spring beauty forecast. Runway faces from Calvin to Gucci define spring’s beauty looks as clean, golden bronzed, and pretty. Back for another season, pink is still chic. On the face pink can appear in subtle, translucent eye shadows or a pumped up rose lipstick. Balance sweet pinks with a neutral palette of gold, bronze, and khaki. Whether paired with a bare face or glossy pink mouth, eyeliner makes eyes look defined and sultry.

The Goods
A] Pinking Sheers
Estée Lauder Graphic Color – EyeShadow Quad, Charming Pink You’ll like the chic, sleek compact holding a trio of flattering pinks that works for all skin tones. But it’s the surprise ‘pop’ green shade that gives this palette its fresh modern look. Apply this fresh hued highlighter on the lid or brow. Colours go on very sheer and silky, giving a natural, pretty effect.  

B] Green Shade
SOHO Cosmetics Eye Shadow - Halo and Fiction
This pair of eye shadows in sheer green and cream is a fresh update to your neutral beige palette. Khaki is a flattering shade to all eye colours and skin tones, goes perfectly with bronze lip glosses, and makes a deep pink mouth look fresh, not overdone. They can be applied sheer or built up for a more dramatic effect. Longwearing, crease resistant formulas.

 
C] Lash Liner
SOHO Glamour - glitter eyeliner
You apply this eyeliner pencil almost within the lash line to make lashes look really dark and lush. This pencil is ideal for precision definition and a lash thickening effect. The glitter is subtle but with the rich pigments of a longwearing colour it adds a lot of definition and drama. The creamy texture is ideal for blending and smudging.
 

D] Neon Gloss
Estée Lauder Crystal Pure Color Gloss in Goldlight and Twilight
These glosses have a unique neon pearlized technology that gives colour a prismatic effect and lustrous shine. The overall effect is that of a sheer gloss with just a bit of sparkle that makes lips look full and supple. Available in six limited edition shades from a shimmering beige to a flaming coral.

E] The Moist Lips
Lise Watier Rouge WoW Fusion Crème Gloss
While gloss is still a major trend, it’s a more moist look than the slick wet finish of past seasons. This unique lipstick formula has the shine of a gloss in a cream texture with vitamin E to help keep lips moist with a hint of vanilla and almond aroma. Its perforated, sponge-tip, slanted applicator dispenses colour, perfectly contours lips and provides an easy way to draw lips with precision. Available in six colours from nude to hot pink.

F] Dream Team
Lise Watier Rouge Toujours
A long-lasting lipstick is no longer a beauty myth. This dual-ended lipstick will make you a believer: one end coats the lip with a creamy, semi-permanent, lightweight colour while the other brushes on a high-shine gloss top coat. Using the latest technology in long-wear formulas, the water-based liquid lip colour dries to a satiny stay-put finish. The transparent gloss then seals in the colour for hours to prevent feathering or smudging. 

Staying within the lines
Lise Watier Virtual Lip Contour
Say bye-bye to lipstick that bleeds or gloss that never stays put. This lipliner perfectly defines lips, while it provides exceptional long-lasting coverage, with zero colour. Formulated with vitamin C, E and boosted with Maxi-Lip to plump up lips and protect from environmental assaults. Wearing mismatched lipliner and lip colour is so yesterday. 

Sun-kissed Cheeks
L’Oreal Glam Bronze - bronzing powder
The look of a tan never goes out of style because it makes the complexion look vibrant. But you don’t have to bake under the sun to have a sun-kissed complexion. Try this new bronzing powder for a quick and easy healthy look. The oil-free formula glides on and blends easily for a natural, healthy looking glow. Apply lightly where the sun hits your face – across the forehead and at the temples, along the cheekbones and across the bridge of the nose and lastly on the chin. Non-acnegenic and will not clog pores.

The Look
This spring, long, loose waves, and curls are just as popular as the long, blow-dried straight look that has dominated hairstyles for endless seasons. Still, on a really humid day, it’s so refreshing to just lift everything off the face and neck. The updo, be it a ponytail, chignon, or French twist – refined or undone – emerges as a summertime favorite. For those who enjoy a short cut, the textured crop with a long fringe is playful, touchable and sexy. Coaxing your hair into the season’s hottest styles is easy with these essential styling tools and tips.
