2009 Makeup Trends

If you want to look as good as the latest celebrities or models on the catwalk then you need to have a look at the 2009 makeup trends. The look focuses on real beauty and although it is not as glamorous as the looks that we were following for the winter of 2008, smoky eyes and gorgeous pastels are definitely the hottest looks.

One of the looks that we may have been following of late were eyeliner eyes with thicker eye brows. This look has completely gone and the more polished eyebrow look is back with less obvious eye makeup. Soft colors and shades are on the in but these need to be teamed with a pair of perfect false eyelashes for a look that screams elegance.
The 2009 makeup trends focus on emphasizing the natural beauty on the face so base makeup needs to be kept to a minimum. Heavy foundations and powders should be replaced by tinted moisturizers with SPF factors to keep the skin protected from the sun and illuminating powders should be used to give the skin a healthy looking glow as though you have just walked in from a sunny beach with crystal blue waters.
The colors for the 2009 makeup trends are very pastel with beige, peaches and pale plums being the look of the moment. Bronzers should be replaced with peach colored blushers and these should be dewy in appearance with no definite lines showing.
To save a bit of money on the latest makeup trends, you should try mixing the lipstick that you wore for the last autumn and winter with gloss for a gorgeous shimmery look. Berry colors that have been lightened somewhat with a barely there gloss is a perfect look for the summer and this color looks great with peach blushers and pale pastel colored eyes.
