Spring Fling Beauty Tips

Two things are certain this spring: healthy, foundation-free skin is exposed and girly glam eyes are stopping traffic from Milan to Toronto. We’ve found the perfect ingredients for your beauty recipe and even some starters for getting you bikini ready faster than a spring fling!
Spring is a time of renewal, which includes renewing your spirit, your wardrobe, your complexion and your makeup routine. Get into the flow of the season by revamping your makeup to create a `new’ you for the season of renewal. The eyes should be soft and bright, lips full and luscious, cheeks contoured and rosy or peachy, brows playful or sculpted, and of course, you’ll need a dab of powder to give that matte all-day finish.
Red continues to be a hot color this spring, and it looks great on the hues of the Black woman’s complexion. In addition, softer colors so en vogue. Earth tones with a touch of frost are still strong. Bronze lipstick and bronze lip liner are the match. Plums and mauves can be worn alone or mixed with reds, bronzes, pearls and sheer glosses (such as sheer gold and sheer bronze automatic lip color) to create a shade that is totally you.

MAKEUP
Spring Makeup trends were unmistakable during the spring/summer shows in New York and Milan. Mouths were donning lightweight glosses with a hint more of tint and barely there lipsticks. And, according to the experts of Blush! School of Cosmetics*: “Eyes were defined with the return of liners and flirty shadows, luminous or not. Traceless concealers now take over for masking imperfections and natural skin is on display with the absence of foundation”.
Spring is not just a time to look great, but an opportunity to renew yourself. At Blush! School of Cosmetics*, they promise your dream come true: You can style your own career. They provide a unique learning environment offering licensure training for make-up, hair fashion and modeling, among others.

TIP
Go bronzer. Are you just so ready for warm weather and pale face elimination? Grab a palette of bronzing powders with several shades. Blend them together picking a light or deep tone depending on your current skin situation. (If you have very pale skin, go easy on the dark stuff.) Always tap excess powder off the brush before letting those bristles touch your cheekbones, temples, top edge of your forehead or the tip of your nose. If you get too much, well, you’ll get too much. The goal is sun-kissed not sun-kicked!

SKIN
“Clean, clear, radiant skin is the hottest accessory this spring, and it’s easier than ever to achieve”, says Laura Fernández, director of Bio Skin Care Clinic*. “Not only does your skin desperately need to recover after the dry winter months, but just think of all the creams and makeup you layer on daily”.
“Whether it’s aging, acne or your skin just needs a wake up call, we have different ways to help our clients”, says Fernández.
Let’s just say when springtime comes rolling around, most of us get motivated to get our bodies toned, buffed and radiant for the all too soon summer bikini weather. Bio Skin Care Clinic* would be very helpful.
So now you know: Clean and clear skin, and a radiant body is an accessory that looks great on everyone!

HAIR
Loose tousled hair either up or down blanketed the spring/summer runways at fashion week. Although this style looks easy, it requires healthy shiny hair with texture and length. If your hair doesn´t look the way you want, don´t worry, experts at Prohairlines* can help.
For those fortunate to have modest balding areas and relatively dense hair follicular hair transplantation performed by a highly skilled and experienced surgeon can produce very natural results.
