What's Hot for Spring?

Tuesday February 28, 2006
Some trends to consider following this year:

1. Ponytails & braids are hot, loose buns are not. As much as we LOVE the loose bun trend of '05, it's purported to not be back this spring, according to Glamour magazine. Instead, opt for loose ponytails & braids.
2. Rummage around for red...lipstick that is. As we reported earlier, red lips are hot for spring. Just remember to keep your eye makeup light.
3. Long lashes are a must. A big trend right now are individual false lashes permanently applied. Not ready to go the glued route? Layer on the mascara. Several coats should do you.
4. Don't overbronze. Fake tanned skin is in again, but don't go overboard ala 'Dancing With the Stars' George Hamilton. Instead, try layering your fake tan with a light tanning creme set with a tinted moisturizer or a bronzing powder.
5. Long waves are still hot, while straightening irons still are not. Ironed hair has been out now for a couple seasons & it stays out for Spring. Instead, opt for long, loose waves. Think your hair is too long? Don't worry, as long as you keep it trim, super long hair is in.
