Spring Summer 2010 Makeup Trends

The makeup trends for the spring 2010 can be summarized by two words: Soft & Subtle

The emphasis is on healthy and flawless skin, a skin type that is radiant, blemish free and even. So a good skin care regime is a must. For this Spring Summer – the SS 2010, the must haves are: A Sheer Foundation, Bronzer, Lip Gloss with a tinge of pink or peach and Mascara.

Shimmer Lips are a definite must have for this season and as we said before shimmer can be in a tinge of pink or peach. Red Lips will also work for the evenings but as we have stressed again and again pair Red Lips with very light eye makeup.Coral also is going to be huge this season.

A Smokey eye is still in but Spring 2010 gives options for more colors in Smokey eye besides black…the colors that you can try are: Lavender, Lilac, Green and Turquoise.

Here we have listed a few of the makeup mistakes that we think are the most common…

In an ideal world, you would have all the various makeup products you want, have the time and money to update them each season and have the skilled hand necessary to apply them flawlessly. But even if that’s not the case, there are simple fixes you can try to help correct the most common beauty wrongs. “Makeup is a wonderful tool to enhance your look, but used correctly, it should never look fake or like you’re wearing a mask,” says New York City makeup artist Jessica Liebeskind. Here, the makeup mistakes many women routinely make, plus how to do it right.

 1. Wearing too much (or too little) makeup.
“Your makeup should be time and place appropriate—so what looks perfect for a big evening event shouldn’t be the same as what you put on to go to the grocery store or the gym,” explains Liebeskind. When you consistently overdo your makeup, you run the risk of looking like you’re trying too hard. Toning it down a notch—for a more natural look—will be a better option for every day. On the flip side, Liebeskind cautions against being so afraid of looking fake or overdone that you skip makeup altogether. Her prescription for the perfect minimal makeup: A good moisturizer, under-eye concealer, blush, curl your lashes and add a sweep of lipstick or gloss.

2. Never updating your colors, products or techniques.
Still using the same eye shadow, blush and lipstick shades you fell in love with when you first started wearing makeup? Well, unless that was just last year, chances are you’re long overdue for a trip to the makeup counter. “Just like you pay attention to which jeans are currently in style—and feel outdated if you’re still wearing bootcut when the look is straight-leg—you need to pay attention to makeup trends,” says Liebeskind. That’s not to say that you have to toss and replace all your makeup every season, or that you have to wear bright red lipstick just because that’s what the models were sporting on the fashion runways. You can find ways to make the trends your own (perhaps swapping your circa 1990s brown-toned lipstick for a wine-colored stain if reds are in fashion) so that your face looks as stylish as your wardrobe.

3. Using the wrong color foundation.
You could have beautiful skin and perfect application technique, but if you’re wearing a foundation that doesn’t exactly match your natural skin tone, the results are going to look awful. By picking a shade that’s an exact match, you’ll make it very easy to get a flawless looking face. To find the right one, Liebeskind suggests trying on three—pick the one you think is the closest color match, and also try one shade darker and one shade lighter. Go to the makeup counter with no makeup on, and swipe the three shades in stripes that run from your cheek down to your neck. As you blend each one into your skin, look for the one that blends so effortlessly it literally just disappears. That will be your perfect match.

4. Not caring for your skin.
All the makeup in the world can’t compensate for skin that isn’t well primed. In order for makeup to go on smoothly and look its best, you need to think about your skin before you start to reach for your foundation or concealer. “If the skin isn’t properly hydrated, your concealer will look cakey, your blush splotchy and your foundation won’t spread evenly,” explains Liebeskind. For dry skin, slather on a rich moisturizer or a face oil before applying makeup. Oily skin will look best if you start by washing your face with a cleanser that absorbs oil and then use a lightweight, oil-free lotion that will hydrate the skin enough for makeup to go on smoothly, but won’t make the skin greasy or shiny.

5. Choosing the wrong makeup for your skin type.
Just as using the right skincare will help your makeup look better, it’s important to be sure you’re using the right makeup formulas to enhance your skin. If your skin is on the dry side, avoid powder foundations and blushes. Creamy formulas will blend better, and if you have any fine lines or wrinkles, a cream will help smooth them over (as opposed to powders which can settle into lines and make them appear more obvious). Normal to oily skin should stick to oil-free liquids and powders. And it pays to reassess your choices every so often to make sure you’re using the right formula for the skin you have now: You may have had oily skin since your teenage years, but if you are now over 40, chances are your skin is starting to shift toward the dryer side.

6. Going to bed with your makeup on.
“If you’re going to take the time to put it on, you’ve got to also take the time to take it off,” says Liebeskind. Leaving your makeup on overnight can clog your pores (not to mention getting your pillowcase dirty), plus, if you’re not removing your makeup, you’re not caring for your skin by cleansing and applying an appropriate night cream. To make a clean sweep: Use a makeup remover pad first to get rid of eye makeup and anything else that might not come off with your face cleanser (like a long-wearing lipstick).Follow with your usual facial cleanser to finish the job.

As we get ready to welcome 2010, we at yourstylentrend.com think it is imperative to take into consideration the makeup trends that will be ushered in with the New Year so that we are never out of style.

We do a quick trend check of the 2010 Makeup Trends, Read the complete Makeup Trends 2010    article in the Trends Makeup Section of our site yourstylentrend.com.

2010 gives us a lot of options when it comes to make up, from a very Natural Look to very colorful makeup; both the looks are going to be equally popular. That is to say that if Pale Skin is going to be popular at one end then shades of green, blue, hot pink, yellow and purple is also going to be equally popular.

EYES: Smokey Eye still remains very popular.Thick black and brown eyebrows are a definite make-up trend for 2010.

LIPS: Here also we have a lot of options, from Peach Lips with minimal make-up to Very Light Purple. Red Lips are still popular for evenings

HAIR: The trend for next year would mostly be natural soft color and short hair cut with a bit of length behind. As for long hair, the style would be a three-layer haircut.

We leave you with some tips for makeup in winters:

•  Dry Skin is a fact of winters and we all learn to deal with it in our own way. But dry skin plays havoc with make-up and we have to learn to deal with it also. To avoid the telltale flakes after the application of foundation be sure to keep your skin moisturized. Follow a regular routine: moisturize daily and exfoliate a couple times a week.
• You can also add a bit of lotion to your liquid foundation to get a smooth finish.
• Drink Lots of water as it helps in maintaining skin hydration, all said this is best way to a healthy-looking and glowing skin always.
