Makeup trends for Spring 2007 mirror the soft pastels used in past seasons but with a few new twists and additions. The smoky eye is still prominent, but soft purples, greens and blues are replacing the metallic blacks and grays from Fall. One of the new trends in creating the spring version of the smoky eye is combining two or more colors, such as blue with green. In place of pencil eyeliner, the shadow is used as (applying with a slightly damp eye shadow brush to prevent shadow flyaway), finished with 2 coats of black mascara on upper and lower lashes. Other trends include:

·    Dramatic lashes – thanks to a crop of new, high-tech mascara formulas, natural lashes are now more than ever able to mimic the look of false lashes and treatments that are performed in salons. Ingredients such as fibers, proteins and botanical compounds have been added to some mascaras to promote lash growth and even assist in creating thicker lashes.  

·    Cheeks - Rosy pink or sheer, shimmery peach blush applied only on the apples of the cheeks. Or, a dusting of bronzer on the cheekbones topped lightly with a sheer, shimmery color such as pearl or baby pink.

·    Lips – Lip gloss colors such as sheer cherry, grape, bronze or peach are dominant. Or, use only clear lip gloss to create a natural flush and highlight individual lip color. If lipstick is worn, it is topped off by one of the mentioned lip gloss colors.

·    Dewy skin – A tough look for some to pull off (especially those with combination or oily skin), but strategically placing the shimmer will prevent the illusion of oily, blotchy skin. After applying all makeup, dust shimmering powder on cheekbones, temples and once across the bridge of the nose.
