Wouldnt it be nice if we could skip over the dark, dank, dreary days of winter and jump into the bright, bird- chirping, flower-filled days of spring? Well thats what happens in the fashion world. Fashion magazines are already tantalizing us with happy, brilliantly colored clothes to distract us from the grey days of winter.
When the weather outside is frightful, think INSIDE the box. Winter is the perfect time to pamper yourself at home. Between the cold, windy outside air and the warm, dry inside air, your skin takes a beating. Moisturizer plus sunscreen and anti-oxidants are your best friends. Makeup can only look as good as the skin beneathits the icing on the cake.
Makeup follows the fashion trends. Magazines are brimming with colorful, splashy, floral prints, feminine sheer fabrics, vibrant solids to lift your spirits and light -up a winter-weary complexion. And guess whats IN for makeup?
Hot pink is the in lip and nail color.perfect for the hot clothes. Theres a shade of pink for everyone. blue-based pinks for cool people and yellow-based pinks for warm people. If you hate yourself in pink, start by using a sheer gloss. Its a subtle approach if youre timid about a bright lip. For the fans of the dark or Vamp nail color, the surprise new tauted color is Navy.
Eyes are not so smokey-dark this spring but softer with dove grey as the featured color-of-the-moment. Lavenders, greens and metallic gold and bronze look smashing.
Spring wouldnt be spring without the classicsNavy, black and white and the neutral khaki. Grey is the surprise new addition this year.
Neutral, natural makeup is still showing up as a basic staple. You dont want to look washed out so finding the right intensity of nude can be tricky. Sometimes a makeup artist can be useful.
Cheeks are looking dewy in pink highlighters that add shimmer and a fresh healthy glow.
Good news for Brownettes! If you thought your brown hair was boring think again. Brown is the new hot hair color ranging from rich coffee to sunny caramel. My chocolate mini-doxie sounds so much yummier than brown dog. Words have power.
Oversize sunglasses are very in. The delicate skin around the eyes needs all the protection it can get. Keep crows feet at bay with eye cream plus sunscreen and the physical protection of fashionable shades. Its a glam look a la Victoria Beckham.
We can thank the fashion gods for the ginormous hand bags. All you makeup junkies can load up all your goodies and then someit becomes a weight-bearing exercise. Clutches are cute but where would I store my big bulbous sunglasses?
Dont toss your high platform wedge shoes. They are still going strong. Python, crocodile, cork, technicolor T-strap sandals with chunky, uniquely shaped heels are filling the fashion pages. Those spikey, sky-high pumps look beautiful but good luck walking in them. Mine look beautiful hanging in my closet. The new shoe floor at Saks 5th Ave. NY has everything including its own zip code!
