Colour is back in for Spring 2010’s makeup trends – think pink, think blue, think green and yellow; then think of all four together! The rainbow makeup look makes the most of spring colours. Harking back to the ‘80s, this is all the rage on the catwalks at the moment, and sure to hit the streets soon. Don’t be afraid to add a bit of glitter, according to Elle. Disco is back!

If rainbow spring makeup is a bit psychedelic for you, another makeup look you could consider is chic noir look. Elegant and dramatic, while understated, this combination makes for a dazzling evening look. Smokey eyes are a trick every girl should have up her sleeve. Big lashes are a hot trend to really make this makeup look stand out. This can be achieved with good mascara, quality false eyelashes or the latest semi-permanent eyelash extensions. Red lipstick is another classic makeup look, and a must-have for this spring collection.

If you’re more of a minimalist, or can’t always find the time to go to all that fuss, take solace in the fact that the natural look is back for the spring collection too. They key to the look is radiant skin, so keep your complexion fresh with a thorough skin care routine. If you’re still feeling a bit pale and blotchy from winter, it’s easy enough to fake a tan to give you a head start. Add a bit of mascara and a bit of blush – keep eyelids bare and lips neutral – and you’re set!

It’s always exciting to get a fresh look, so have fun experimenting with this season’s spring makeup to find a look that works for you!
