The days of bright blue eye shadow and slathered on blush are gone with

the wind! If you are in desperate need of a make up freshen up, consider

these hot trends in cosmetics. These latest colors, tips, and techniques

are just what anyone needs to update a look or make the change into a new

season. Remember that your cosmetics do have an expiration date, so keep

this in mind when shopping for new make up. With each season, carefully

look through your make up kit and discard any items that are outdated.

This is critical, especially with eye make up that can expire and

potentially cause painful infections. Also, remember not to share your

make up with anyone else to prevent spread of germs and infection.

Today's latest trends in cosmetics reflect the fashion trends-shimmer

and shine! From super glossy lip gloss to candy like eye make up with

glitter to make your eyes truly pop. This trend only applies to eyes,

lips, and nails, however, since cream and matte finishes is hot for

foundations, powders, and blush. In addition to shimmer and shine, the

color of eye and lip make up is quite subtle. Gone are the vibrant colors

and eye popping shades of eye shadow. Instead, pale browns, ivories,

grays, tans, and other natural colors are all the rage. Lip shades are

also a bit more subdued, with a nude lip or a sheer pink gloss being

incredibly hot.

Lipstick is out today, with lip gloss taking over the first place in

purses all over the country. These lip glosses are made in every color

under the sun and many mimic the appearance of lipstick with a much

smoother and glossier look. For individuals looking to care for their lips

and enjoy that terrific nude lip look, consider using a simple hydrating

stick. The all natural brand, Bert's Bees, produces a phenomenal product

that can be applied under a gloss or used by itself.

The days of pressed powder may be numbered; as today's hot products

include cream powders that go on thick but dries sheer and ultra light.

This option is great for individuals who would like a bit more coverage

than pressed powder offers, but do not want to deal with the mess and

hassle of using foundation. Another popular trend along this line is the

cream blush, which also goes on like a cream but dries a powder. Also,

cream blushes prevent that unnatural coloring that appears on many women's

cheeks.
