Purple and Gold Make a Hot Comeback for Spring 2011 Makeup

You don't have to be a Baltimore Raven's fan to appreciate the bold makeup color trend for spring 2011. Bold flashes of purple and gold are the hot makeup trend for spring 2011 makeup. Discover two makeup collections that highlight these vibrant hues plus individual items for cheeks, lips and nails that will give you a single pop of color.

Purple Reigns for Spring 2011 with Sephora's Fairy Princess Collection

Sephora's Fairy Princess Makeup Collection features a regal color palette of purple, plum, mauve, pink and peach shades. There are nine pieces in the collection featuring:

- 4-eyeshadows: Fairy Princess (purple shade), Luxe Punk (plum shade), Tender Pink and Peach Beige for $12.00 each.

- 3-eyeliners: Liner Electro Glitter eye Pencil in Mauve Electro $8.00; Nano Eyeliner in Plum and Nano Eyeliner in Pure White both are $5.00 each.

- 2-mascaras: Professional Clear Natural Mascara for $10.00 and Lash Plumper in Black for $12.00

The eyeshadows and liners are high in color pigments for intense color. You can also up the intensity of the eyeshadow by applying it wet, which will create a more saturated hue and intense shimmer for a dramatic look.

Application Tip: It takes practice applying eyeshadow wet so do not make your first attempt right before you go out in public. When applying your eye shadow wet, use a dampened (with water), stiff eyeshadow brush or for more control use a dampened finger and run over your pressed shadow or dip into your loose shadow.

Get a Majestic Glow in Spring 2011 with Make Up For Ever's Gold Icon Collection

Make Up For Ever's Gold Icon Collection is a makeup collection full of colors with a golden hue for face and eyes. The seven piece collection features:

- 4-eyeshadows: Metal Powder in Sunflower Gold, Maize Gold, Honey Gold and Olive Gold for $22.00 each.

- Diamond Powder (face powder) in Metal Gold $24.00

- 2-Khol pencils in black with Metal Highlights and Metal Hold for $17.00 each

All eyeshadows and the face powder are mineral loose powders. This makes it easy to wear them dry or wet. When worn wet, the eyeshadows will have a foil-look while dry application of the shadows will give your lids an iridescent shimmer.

Application Tip: Mix a little of the face powder with your daily moisturizer for a golden, dewy-look.
