Spring Makeup TrendsÂ
This season’s spring makeup isn’t just about the usual lavenders, pinks, and corals. The 2009 spring makeup trends take in every direction and depth of the color wheel.Â
Across the board, spring makeup varies from soft and sensual to vibrantly bold beautiful color collections for women of all ages. For women that shy away from this year’s fuchsias and bright corals, there are the no fear color elements in naturally calming pinks and peaches. The varying degrees of pigments in spring’s color forecast allow us to wear colors we never before thought possible. What looks too bright in the package may be sheer and harmonious with any skin or hair color combination when applied. It seems hard to believe, but trust natures harmonious color schemes and step out of your comfort zone to try something different this spring. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the results.
There’s no need to splurge on high cost department store brand makeup if you don’t want to. Just pop in to your local drug store and see what new makeup colors are on the shelf. Walgreens always has a great selection of new makeup colors from brands like Almay, L’Oreal, Revlon, or Wet N Wild. Checking the local internet or Sunday newspaper ads you’ll find most drug stores have buy-one get-one free sales or other great discounts on popular brands. If you do find yourself at the larger department stores like Nordstrom’s, Dillard’s, or Neiman Marcus, you’ll be happy with the spring makeup from Estee Lauder, Lancôme, Laura Mercier, or Trish McEvoy.
Women that love color will rave while viewing M.A.C. Cosmetics Spring Makeup colors. M.A.C., a makeup artist based cosmetic company, offers new colored cosmetics not just once during season changes but throughout the season. Makeup lovers can relate to this makeup company’s ongoing, seemingly endless selection. M.A.C. Cosmetics also offers an empty product container incentive program.
Not into all those chemicals in your cosmetics? Natural green cosmetic and makeup products are usually at least 90% chemical free. Several natural cosmetics mineral makeup brands have new colors every season and really stand out from the traditional cosmetics with their ability to adhere to skin with all day wear. Loose mineral powder eye and blush colors last for what seems like an eternity and a small amount is all that is required when applying these products. Loose mineral powders also provide buildable coverage and can be used wet or dry in the eye area for a more dramatic look.
Several online mineral makeup brands offer 100% pure natural earth element pigments and mineral components. Mineral makeup is great for those women that have rosacea, acne, skin sensitivity, or aging skin. Mineral foundation will also provide natural sunscreen protection as long as product ingredients include ample amounts of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
Not all mineral makeup companies have the same ingredients. Be aware when researching mineral makeup ingredients to stay away from any mineral makeup product that contains bismuth, bismuth oxychloride, and biron, as has been advised by dermatologists, estheticians, and consumers. These ingredients are known to cause cystic acne, itching, as well as redness and rosacea. This is especially important if you’re looking for a mineral foundation makeup product. When selecting a mineral foundation you may also decide to stay away from mica due to its abrasive qualities, depending upon micron particle size.Â
Research has also recently shown matte mineral foundations are now in high demand due to the fact that they do not contain any shine, glitter, nor do they settle in pores, lines, and wrinkles as with bismuth and mica mineral foundations blends. They normally will then carry a higher level of SPF if titanium and zinc are in their first 4 listed cosmetic ingredients.
Just remember if you’re new to mineral makeup, that application methods are different than traditional liquid or cream makeup. If you need to know how to apply mineral makeup, most mineral makeup companies offer application tips on their websites. Several mineral makeup companies also manufacture their own makeup and provide natural cosmetic cream and liquid mineral foundation, blush, and lip products.Â
The best mineral makeup colors can be found online. A Mineral makeup brands or mineral makeup company search will give you the most makeup brand results in search engines. Mineral makeup companies periodically offer discounts, or sales on their products. A few also donate to several different charities that help women and families alike.
Review your makeup routine and get out of the winter rut by focusing on one facial feature at a time. Smokey eyes are sweet and sultry using purple or deep green as your shade color. You will want to apply soft creamy yellows, pinks, or peaches to play up your brow area and brighten the entire eye. Using an aqua, deep-blue or jade eye liner on the outer corners only will give your eyes that extra get-me-noticed look. Blush and lip makeup colors should not compete with eye color, unless you’re going for all out drama.
Fair haired gals or women that just aren’t ready for brighter makeup colors will appreciate the new neutral shades of browns, and grays, touched lightly with muted subtle hues of green, blue, purple. You’ll find these springs neutral eye makeup shades perfect for every day or evening wear. Blush and lips can be brightened with pinks and peaches. Maybe even try one of the brighter lip glosses or blushes since they will brighten your entire face with a lovely flushed look.
The idea of new makeup shades this spring is for renewing your inner passions and self. It’s time to get out of winter’s cold and revel in the glow of warmer weather, sunny beaches, treks into the mountains, and vivid foliage, all in glorious bloom.

Great Article on Spring Makeup Trends! Being a makeup lover and enjoying new products and colors. I have already seen, and purchased
some of the drugstore brand new spring makeup colors.
I really like the idea that most of the bright spring makeup shades I purchased from different makeup companies were sheer, so the colors appeared on my skin natural not garish.
I like to get out of my winter makeup routine and into the spring colors when it starts warming up as I’m sure most of you do also. If some of you are afraid to try the new spring makeup colors don’t be, as they really are very pretty even on aging skin like mine.

OH and yes ladies Walgreens always has the best makeup sales, I’m on their sign up newsletter so do check out their beauty and makeup department online or in their stores. Walmart never puts anything on sale when it comes to makeup, and they are not always the lowest priced. Though I do suggest staying away from places like dollar general, and big lots, as they get seconds that are expiring which is dangerous for your skin.

Thank you RachelT for your makeup review and information on spring makeup products.
Feel free to post what makeup and mineral makeup brands and companies have what new spring makeup products and where they are located on their websites or stores.
We’ve been trying to keep this site advert free but so many of the makeup companies are now contacting us that we may change that, but only if it’s for the better of the blog and helping out others on where directly to find what’s on sale for makeup, skin care etc.
Thanks for keeping women posted too!
