Top Tips For Spring Beauty

(NAPSI)-Spring has officially sprung, and from the fashion runways to the beauty pages of your favorite magazine, looking great this season is all about skin-baring looks and fresher, lighter makeup. You may think the new trends are going to cost you a fortune, but it is easier than you might think to get your beauty routine ready for spring.

"Altering your beauty regimen for spring and summer is simple; all it takes are a few easy changes," says Rebekah George, former beauty editor at Prevention magazine. Here are some tips that George recommends:

• Peachy Lips--Gone are the severe reds and pinks of this past winter. This season, lips are lighter, more natural looking. "We saw lots of peach and light coral tones on the runway for spring 2010," says George. "These colors brighten your face and give you a fresh, lively look."

• Silky Soft Skin--It's the season for tank tops and mini-skirts, so it's more important than ever that your skin looks and feels great. The best way to get silky smooth skin is to moisturize daily. "I recommend Vaseline Sheer Infusion body lotion with Stratys-3, a superior moisturizing technology that gives you incredibly silky skin that lasts all day long. It provides twice the moisture when compared to other leading everyday body lotions," says George.

• Soft Waves--Hair has lightened up for summer as well. Soft, natural-looking waves complement spring and summer styles perfectly and they are easy to re-create. "Instead of using a brush," suggests George, "try finger-combing wet hair to maintain a natural wave. Then apply a mousse for a light hold and body. Twist 1−2-inch sections of hair and let them air-dry."

• No-Makeup Makeup--The old adage has always been that you should try to look like you are not wearing makeup at all. This could not be any truer this season. To achieve this look, George suggests sticking to mineral foundations and using light pink and peach tones on eyelids with minimal or no eyeliner.

• Shimmer Is Back--One place where you can get away with a little bit of noticeable makeup is shimmer on your cheeks and eyelids. Shimmery pastels and other light hues will be big this spring. "Check out your local drugstore for shimmery palettes to play with. It is best to gently apply these shades with a large, fluffy shadow brush," says George.

All these great beauty products, which help you get the perfect look this spring, are available at drugstores and makeup counters nationwide.

Get Married and Celebrity Event Designer Colin Cowie Offer 2009 Spring Trends That Merge Personal and Seasonal Styles for the Fashion-Forward Bride

/PRNewswire/ -- Spring is the start of the wedding season, and a time when brides have additional options for every element of their celebration. From an abundance of flowers and fresh, seasonal foods, to moving the wedding outside and shortening the hemline, brides' options spring into high gear with the bright colors, smells, tastes and fashions of the season. Get Married unveils the latest spring wedding trends that exemplify an organic blending of styles and exude creativity, good taste and the true sense of the season.

For brides seeking the latest trends for their spring wedding, Get Married's show on Lifetime Television and www.GetMarried.com provide unique wedding ideas from the industry's leading experts who offer season-specific advice, ideas and inspirations that fit any budget and personal style.

Get Married teamed with Colin Cowie of Colin Cowie Lifestyle, internationally known as the arbiter of style, to offer the latest wedding trends to the springtime bride. "Spring is a thrilling time of the year - it represents growth and new beginnings - a perfect metaphor for a wedding," said Colin, lifestyle expert, celebrity wedding designer and host of Get Married on Lifetime Television and www.GetMarried.com. "The gift of a spring wedding is that it gives everyone a chance to revel in nature."

Colin Cowie and Get Married offer 5 Spring Wedding Trends for the Fashionable Bride who wants to merge personal and seasonal styles while capturing the essence of spring in her wedding.

1. Extract electric colors from nature: Lift colors straight from spring
leaves, flowers and shoots of grass, and bring them to the reception
tables and the bridal dresses. Grass green, canary yellow and
chaparelli pinks, accented with gold or pewter, are exciting and fresh.
2. Fuse youthful flavors in a sophisticated spirit: Capture the popping
colors of spring by serving lollipops at a candy station, popcorn at
valet, or other tasty treats to satisfy your palette.
3. Combine deep colors with lighter papers: Keep wedding invitations,
table cards and programs fresh with light papers like tissue and
vellum. Incorporate spring colors like white ink on rich green paper or
shocking pink ink on lime green paper. Reverse the formula with green
inks on white paper.
4. Shorten the hemlines and heighten the style: Stand out from the crowd
but blend with the event intention by wearing a shorter dress with an
eye-catching pair of heels. Create a chic retro look with a short
birdcage wedding veil and a set of short gloves.
5. Create an at-home atmosphere with backyard elegance: Create a quality
backyard wedding that is intimate and organic with your garden being
the aesthetic to inspire your decor. Spring weather is unpredictable
so have heaters and a back-up plan of moving inside or under a gorgeous
canopy.


"Springtime embodies a unique charm and is a theme in itself when it comes to weddings and celebrations," said Stacie Francombe, CEO and founder of Get Married and www.GetMarried.com. "The possibility of a spring wedding is endless, and Get Married offers brides all the latest seasonal trends and styles for brides on any budget."
