Makeup trends come and makeup trends go, moving only slightly away from the previous season. This spring, the make styles we peeped backstage at the collections ranged from standard barely there nudes and bronze-y corals to new, interesting use of pastels. Here, our picks for the best looks you can rock in real life.

Bronze Skin - Glowing skin is all about health and wealth -- or at least your complexion looking like you have both. That's why a faux sun-kissed glow comes on strong this spring via bronzers for light, medium and deep complexions. Seen at Tory Burch, ADAM and Carlos Miele, bronzers deliver the perfect pick-me up for sun-depraved skin tones, and offer deeper complexions (think Alek Wek) the sparkling highlights needed for dimension, sans foundation.

Brightly Colored Lips - The trend of bright pink lips worn by Alicia Keys and Rihanna, which was taken from last spring, continues. This time, as seen at the Marc Jacobs and Dior shows, they've brought in bright oranges, purple and red shades-worn either matte or with some shimmer.


Under- Eye Liner
The return of the 80s makeup style viewed at Nanette Lepore, of wearing liner on the bottom lid, has come back with a soft, pretty vengeance, as well as in strong strokes like that seen at Lanvin. This look can be achieved with a pencil, liquid liner or shadow, and can be worn as a part of a smudged eye look or a stand alone.



Pastel Eyes - From perfect lavender shadows, spotted at Versace, to a mosaic of various pastel tones (seen at DVF), it's an eye powder play we haven't seen in quite some time.� The light colors dance around your lids for a flirty, fun for an un-expectant level of seduction.


Nude Makeup - Spotted Gucci, Balmain and Burberry, nude is the no-makeup makeup look that comes back every season. What makes this year's offering so different? Its dewy, glossy eyes and skin applied in shades ranging from pinks to peach.
