Eco Glamorous Makeup Looks for Spring

Skin is in for spring! On most of the looks we saw on the runway for Spring 2010, skin was kept flawlessly sheer to provide a clean backdrop to the brightly colored lips in shades of corals, and pinks. Lips were also kept nude to give eyes the focus in startling pop shadows and cats eye styles.

Natural-Looking Makeup 

Spring 2010 Makeup is all about sporting a natural-looking skin with a hint of color. Its all about showing your glowing skin and very girl-next door. I personally love this look because its very simple yet flattering.

Eco Glamorous Look: A natural look is about flawless skin so it is important that you take care of your skin inside and out to keep it looking its best. You want to start by eating natural, whole foods and using skin products that are organic or made with natural ingredients. To achieve glowing flawless skin try this DIY Spa Facial, then go for Alima Mineral Foundation for a natural, luminous, silky skin look in seconds!


Pretty Coral Lips
Think,pinks, corals, peachy lips for spring which are very flattering shades for almost all skin tones. I also like the fact that these colors are very romantic and playful!

Eco Glamorous look: Try Cargo Plant Love Lipstick by Evangeline Lily which is a very pretty coral shade. You can also try Mineral Fusion Lip Gloss in Gleam one of my favorite shades.


Purples and Turquoise Shadows
Quite the opposite of the natural look, colorful makeup is a hot makeup trend for Spring 2010. Shades of Purples, Turquoise, and Pinks add a lot of fun and look fresh for spring 2010!
 

Eco Glamorous Look: Try Josie Maran Natural Wonder Powder Palette which has a nice mixture of spring colors, specially a very pretty turquoise, Spring's hottest color.  Also try Nvey Organic Eyeshadow in Plum Shimmer for a playful touch of purple.


Cat Eyes

The cat eye look were everywhere in the Spring 2010 runways, they were paired up with nude lips and almost-nude blushes to give cheekbones just little lift without a lot of color.

Eco Glamorous look: For dramatic, smoky or cat eyes try Illuminare Beyond Black Eyeliner which is a richly pigmented, silky cream mineral eyeliner you could ever dream of!  Also try ZuZu Luxe Liquid Eyeliner in Raven, one of my favorites natural eyeliners to achieve this look!

Its time to look glamorous this Spring while taking care of our bodies and our planet!

Affordable Natural Face Scrub

As the weather gets cooler, skin exfoliation is specially important to prevent dullness and bring back that natural skin glow. When I ran out of my face scrub, I decided to look in my pantry and found a very simple ingredient I could use as a scrub.... Sugar in the Raw. A sugar scrub helps to brighten your skin by buffing away dried skin, sweat and dirt. Sugar cane is a great natural source of glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that's widely used in skin care products for its resurfacing properties. It helps reduce fine lines and acne by promoting cellular turnover.

I simply mix a packet of sugar in the raw with a small dab of my favorite cleanser Juice Beauty Organic Facial Wash, gently scrub my face for about a minute or so and rinse. After I rinse my skin feels incredibly smooth and fresh. It's a really amazing scrub and super-affordable! You can also use Raw Sugar mixed with Jojoba Oil (I like Dessert Essence Jojoba Oil) to scrub and beautify your body and feet. Although raw sugar in not harsh or toxic, make sure you don't over scrub. Use no more than twice a week. Try it with your favorite cleanser or mix of oil, you will love the results!
