Spring is upon us. Warmer weather brings a shedding of the thicker winter apparel in favor of a lighter wardrobe. Everyone wants to look their best no matter what the season. Look your best with this forecast for what everyone will be wearing on their faces for spring 2009.

What is the best feature on your face? Could it be your eyes? If it is then make those eyes pop. The smoky look is back. Wear it to work and also for a night out on the town. The dark eye shadows and liners give eyes that mysterious look that men can always appreciate.

How do you get that smoky look? Apply a dark eye liner to the top and bottom of your eyelids along the lash line. Use a more subtle color like gold, lilac, or silver on the upper lid. Blend the shadow and the liner together to create that smudged smoky look.

False eyelashes can further draw attention to your eyes and that smoldering look you've created. Falsies have always been behind the scenes but they are once again taking center stage. When using them, apply the longer lashes on the outer edge of the eyelid.

This smoky look can be toned down during the day by keeping your makeup overall soft and natural. Use mineral makeup to do the trick. It contains a mineral blend designed to enhance your skin's health. As your body temperature rises, the minerals melt into your skin for a more seamless look. There are no streaks or telltale makeup lines.

Mineral makeup comes in a variety of colors for eyes, cheeks and foundation. Before putting on any makeup, it is best to prep the face with a foundation. Mineral foundations are light and hide fine lines and wrinkles. The trend for blush is warm pinkish tones that complement the skin. With mineral blush, you can find a tone to bring out the warm highlights in any skin tone.

If you like, add a bit of shimmer. Crme makeup adds metallic sparkle for eyes and lips. These colors work best in the evening when you are out on the town.

What about those lips? The trend has always been to go for bold and that meant the blood red look. This season, make a statement with a more kissable look enhanced with shades of peach and pink. Don't forget to line your lips in the same shade as your lip color. The days of dark lip liner paired with red lips are long gone.

When you create that softer look to your lips, don't forget to keep the eyes soft as well. Choose a lilac shade for the eyes and one coat of mascara. On this face, your lips are the center of attention.

Dull skin can be spruced up with a few splashes of color. Add some red to your lips. For your cheeks, sweep a bit of bronzer along the underside of the cheekbone. It creates a pouty look to your face.

Darker tones are best left in winter. Embrace the light for the spring season. Add a bit of color but don't sacrifice your natural look.
