Spring 2009 Bridal Makeup Trends

It's that time of year again. New Spring color collections are coming out from our favorite makeup lines and we see what will be the bridal makeup trends. I've done my research and found some fun and lovely products that I think will be a big hit with brides who are getting married this spring

Trend: Peach/Coral Tinted Cheeks
While summer generally leans towards bronzed cheeks, spring brings a more subdued hue and the color of the moment is a peachy coral. This is a great color for every skin tone as it adds warmth and color without the "fake bake" look that bronzers can sometimes give.

Hot Products:

*Benefit "Coralista" - If you love the other face powders in Benefit's expansive collection (Dallas, Georgia, Throbbb, etc.) you will love Coralista. It's a great product for a pinch of peach color on your cheeks and has a light fruity fragrance.

*NARS "Super Orgasm"- One of the most famous blushes of all time is undoubtedly the legendary Orgasm from NARS. Super Orgasm is an updated and decidedly better version of the blush we all know and love. NARS added an extra dash of pigment and just an extra hint of the dreamy golden sparkle.

Trend: Pops of color on the eyes
While we do see washes of pastels on the eyes as a favorite look for spring often, the looks on the runway were noticeably brighter and the colors carried a heavier application of the beloved pastels.

Hot Products:

*Sephora "Moroccan Sunrise Palette" - This palette contains 5 silky and highly pigmented shadows in shades that range from a pearly cream, to a stunning sienna and a lovely deep eggplant. These coordinating colors allow you create a lighter look for day or a decidedly more smoldering evening option.

*Urban Decay Primer Potion in "Sin" - For many pro makeup artists, Urban Decay Primer Potion is one of the best eyeshadow primers you can get. It prevents shadows from creasing and allows the colors to stay true to color all day. Urban Decay has added to their inventory by coming out with a new primer potion in Sin. This is a sparkling champagne toned hue that will give warmth and a slight shimmery to any combination of shadows placed on top. In my opinion a must have for the spring!

Trend: Pink-toned Lips

While you may have visions of Barbie pink running through your mind at the mention of pink color lips, I assure you that the look for spring is much more sophisticated than that. This pink is meant to enhance the natural pink hue of your lips. Throw in a dash of glossy goodness and you will have a pout that will pair perfectly with the more colorful eye and cheek looks for the seaosn.

Hot Products:

*Dior Addict Lip Color in "Undressed Pink" - A shy and coy pink that has the slightest peach undertone that pairs perfectly with the coral cheeks the models were sporting at the runway shows.

*Too-Faced Girls Dig Pearls Lip Gloss in "Mermaid" - Wear it on top of a lovely lipstick or wear it alone, Mermaid is a gorgeous beigey-pink that will allow the bolder eye colors of the season to shine and still give a gorgeous pink glow to the lips.
