2009 Makeup Trends

The biggest makeup trends for Spring 2009 are as follows:
Smokey Eyes
Thick, Long Eyelashes (Real or Fake)
Pastel Eyeshadows and Blushes
Flawless Complexion

This Spring 2009, it will also be all about BIG eyelashes! If you don’t have them, buy a pair. We saw literally tons of gorgeous false eyelashes on the runway at New York Fashion week. Don’t be scared off by the thought of wearing fake eyelashes though… If you apply them properly, they will add a touch of fantasy to your look. I saw some really pretty ones on MAC. If you’re thinking about trying fake lashes, don’t get cheap ones. You’ll be disappointed.
Flawless skin is always in (heh. That rhymes.) but Spring 2009 is all about the perfect face. You want to moisturize and keep your skin healthy and hydrated. When applying makeup, you want full coverage, especially around the eyes. Your eye makeup won’t stand out if you have big dark circles under your eyes. You want a healthy, dewy, radiant complexion.
Keep blush light and in shades of peach or pastels. You want them sheer and lightweight. No browns or reds. The lighter the better.
Lipstick is the thing for Spring 2009. Glittery, shiny lipgloss is going out. It’s all about the nude and pale lips. Matte lipsticks of flowery pinks, simple nudes, and peachy shades are best. No brown and no more red. Thank goodness!
