Makeup Trends for Spring Summer 2009

The new season brings softness, freshness and optimism into makeup. Natural tones are combined with bright, vivid ones.
The new make-up trends are all about fresh pink flushed cheeks, strong eyes (throw back inspiration from the '80s), colorful hues from fuchsia to aquamarine tones.

Trend: Sexy Pout
New lip color trends are not much different from the trends seen for last season, however reds brighten up a little - from cherry to coral, fuchsia or wine tones.

Trend: 'Bare' Face
The 'no makeup look' is back. All you need is a sheer foundation, a pink-ish blush and a touch of brown mascara. For the lips, use you favorite lip balm or a clear lipgloss and you're good to go.

Trend: Highlight and Contour
Well structured cheekbones are a huge trend for spring/summer 2009. Makeup artists use this contouring technique, but it's time for you to learn how to define and enhance your features for sculpted cheekbones, a slimmer nose or even a slimmer neck.
