Spirit of spring

SAY goodbye to heavy eyebrows and smoky eyes as winter days come to a close. Makeup looks should be elegant, fresh, feminine and very wearable for the warmer days ahead.

With spring comes new hopes and a carefree spirit. Beauty houses have created spring collections of a softer, more natural palette, and a burst of joyful color. The shades are inspired by nature ?muted rose, soft peach and whispery bronzes. They are amazingly versatile and in a range of textures.

If you are yearning for the sweet bloom of the new season, here are three fresh spring makeup looks by some of the most brilliant artists working today.

Clinique's "First Blush?look is really the epitome of spring colors and shades. From cheeks to eyes to lips, soft-focus shades keep things sweet and simple.

There's no easier way to get the look than with Clinique's new makeup. The new Derma White Bright-C Powder Makeup SPF 29/PA+++ brightens skin, even through sweat and high humidity, with a moderate-to-full buildable cover.

Fresh Bloom Allover Color creates fresh, natural color on the cheeks and a sheer, subtle radiance and allover glow over the face. For the eyes, use the Color Surge Eye Shadow and the Brush-On Cream Liner. The new High Impact Lip Color SPF 15 in highly moisturizing shades is creamy and long lasting, a perfect lip color for spring.

Bobbi Brown's Blushed Pink Collection is also a gorgeous range of products to give a naturally pretty look. Sparkling eyes are paired with creamy blushed pink cheeks and lips for a look that's soft, refined and absolutely effortless.

For the eyes, there are four new shadows which have a sparkly finish and come in hues that lighten up your eyes while providing a touch of shimmer. Apply Peony Blush high on the cheekbone and blend back towards the hairline with downward strokes.

The look has a soft and luminous glow courtesy of Bobbi's newest Shimmer Brick "Platinum Pink.?Five color bars ?soft pink, platinum, bright pink, golden coral and rose ?blend together to light up the face. Custom-made compact features a metallic silver finish and faux-leather detailing.

To celebrate the triumph of spring, Guerlain creative director Olivier Echaudemaison has created a rich collection drawn from an eccentric, eclectic garden of Eden, a colorful kaleidoscope of nature's prettiest, most sensual colors and organic delights.

In this kaleidoscopic collection, everyone can find a favorite item.

The piece we love the most is the new limited edition Exotic Paradise Ombre Eclat Eyeshadow Palette. Four shades, pink, orange, green and brown, are embellished with an exotic leaf motif in pearly green, which may be used singly or mixed together. Whether the result is light or dramatic, the eyes are rendered sublime by this shimmering botanical palette.
