Check out our beautiful blue, purple, green, and copper eye liners.  We have power and liquid liners. Think sheer, brightness. Put away those dark shades.

Liquid Highlighter: One of our favorite new products for summer. Come experience this product yourself.  You will love how it makes wrinkles disappear and adds sparkle!

Try a bronzer instead of self-tanning lotion that can leave you orange instead of bronze.

Cream blush: Switch to a cream blush for summer.  It stays on longer and is perfect for when you want a little color but don't want to spend a lot of time putting on makeup.  Cream blush is great for summer sports such as golfing or tennis.

The following ladies looked beautiful in their outfits:

• Penelope Cruz in her red gown
• Helen Mirren in her sheer, lilac gown
• Cameron Diaz in her gold, sparkly gown
• Jenna Hurt in her cream and black overlay gown
• Elizabeth Banks in her soft, grey-blue gown
• Tina Fey in her black, one-shoulder sequined gown
• Monique in her bright blue gown

Outfits that were beautiful, but I did not think were flattering to the wearer:

• Sandra Bullock in her pale, gold gown: Her lipstick and hair overpowered the outfit.
• Jennifer Lopez in her pale, lilac gown: Her natural coloring overpowered the dress.
• Sarah Jessica Parker in her yellow Chanel gown: The dress was too straight and boxy for her body, and the color did not flatter her skin tone.

Is your makeup "on trend," or are you still stuck in 1992? Or worse, 1982? Like fashion, makeup trends come in and go out each season, so we have to keep our makeup products and application techniques current. If you are not sure if your makeup will be in style this spring and summer, here are some trends to keep you from looking like a 1980's cover model.

• Pastel eye shadows are very popular this season. Brush a little lilac, soft pink, green, yellow or tangerine on your lids. But remember, only one color at a time.
• Make your eyes a statement. Apply bold liner on the top lid with nothing on bottom. Then add lots of great mascara for a fifties-inspired look.
• Keep your lips neutral and sheer, but if you like color on your lips, bold reds are in, and coral in the hot new color for spring.
• Be sure your lips are pouty and moist. Add a little gloss to your favorite lip color, or wear gloss alone to create this trend.
• Like your lips, your skin should also be luminous this season. For a fresh, dewy look, dust a bit of shimmer on your cheekbones, temples, brow bones and the inside corners of your eyes.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of a 1980's makeup face, it is time for a cosmetic makeover! Just as you reevaluate and update your wardrobe each season, make sure to bring your makeup in for a checkup. Flip the page to learn the rest of my top makeup trends for spring 2010. Write them down, tape them to your makeup mirror, and abide by them each morning so that you will have a fashionable face to match your stylish wardrobe!
