    Beware the eyes of March
    9 March 2009

    As winter’s dark lipstick kisses its way out, sparkling eyes are back in the spotlight this spring.  With a variety of colors and styles popping up from Paris to Milan, you can change your look with a few swipes and a steady hand. 

    Rainbow bright

    Shades of aqua, fuchsia and lime can add a refreshing twist to even the most timid of peepers.  Use a crayon liner or a Q-tip edged in shadow to line the top or lower lid – but not both.  With your eyes making such a statement, keep the rest of your skin bare by avoiding bronzer or blush and sticking with a simple clear gloss over lipstick.  Top with lots of mascara.

    Peachy keen

    Tastier than your grocer’s produce section, peach reemerged as a favorite shade for eyes of all colors.  Use a sheer, cream based shadow to cover from lash to brow, followed by a single coat of brown mascara on top lashes only.  For a triple knockout, add a light dusting of peach blush to the apples of the cheeks and top lips with a creamy peach lipstick. 

    Fashionista pick:  NARS powder blush in Orgasm, $25 Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

    Recessionista pick:  Revlon powder blush in Perfectly Peach, $8 Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

    The cat’s meow

    A classic cat eye is one that never goes out of style.  Skip the liquid liner and opt for a lightweight pencil in navy, grey or plum, lining the top lids from inner corner to outer edge.  Wing the ends with a slanted makeup brush, and top with mascara on top and bottom lashes.  Try a berry stain or tinted gloss on the lips to complete your look.

    Fashionista pick:  Tarte EmphasEYES self sharpening eye pencil in Plum, $18 Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

    Recessionista pick:  L’Oreal Pencil Perfect self sharpening eyeliner in Paris Blue, $9 Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

    As any great artist knows, practice makes perfect.  The best canvas starts with radiant inner beauty.
