For women, spending time on their appearance can make drastic changes to mood, confidence, self esteem and pride.

As the monsoon rages on, the trends for the spring 2014 season are being defined on red carpets and runways. It can be hard to keep up with trending make up and make up tips. Taking a glimpse at your favorite stars during awards season, or taking a gander at your favorite designer during fashion week are both the options the professionals use when figuring out what is trending for the season.

Choose a size and shape depending on the face shape and many tutorials can be found on the internet to help tame a liquid liner. Whether making a trip to the grocery store or a night out on the town, one can look fashionable at anytime with a sleek cat eye. Also, lining the bottom lash line with kohl eyeliner for a deep, dramatic look is very “in”, but should be kept to being used only during night time hours.
Next, whether taking a peek at the red carpets or at the runways of New York City, berry stained lips can be seen everywhere! Better than gloss during windy days and better than most lipsticks when it comes to staying power, lip stains can seem like a no brainer choice. The difficult part is choosing the right berry hue from the endless options. One usually sifts through the many options by considering their features and complexion. There is a juicy cranberry, deep raspberry, bold blackberry and everything in between. For darker skin tones, a purple or plum look will flatter most unless, something more subtle is desired than a prune color with a gentle shimmer may be more appropriate. As for the lighter complexion, pink undertones will compliment those with light colored eyes, where blue undertones will work for those with either light or dark eyes. For the lightest, porcelain complexions, the preference should sway toward deep berry hues with red undertones.

All over the runways, the makeup artists stayed away from bold lashes and opted for the simple use of eye lash curlers instead. This is refreshing considering how deep hues and heavy eyeliner have seemed to take over this season.
Finally, also for the minimalists, the egg white eye has been featured more than once. This trend compliments any one and can be used to look at the top of fashion even when being on a budget for time it has been said that the look was inspired by ballerinas, very elegant ballerinas.
