Eye makeupOne of the most challenging parts to putting together a great look each season for women is choosing and applying eye shadow. Balancing eye makeup colors with your own complexion and eye color while following current trends can be tricky, not to mention applying it in a way that is subtle and noticeable at the same time.

The 1980s wild and thick eye makeup made a brief return to the fashion runways during the last few years, but that trend is apparently over. Fashion Week 2009 gave way to warmer, softer touches of color mostly in earthy shades of green, brown, and gray. As a result, women everywhere will be have to re-learn how to use a delicate touch with their makeup brushes.

Luckily, there are products out that can help. Coming from San Francisco, there is a Benefit eye shadow kit that includes illustrated systematic application instructions for a professionally contoured eye. The kit includes pink, cocoa, and chocolate eyeshadow shades, which fit perfectly with the 2009 eye makeup trends of rich earth tones. If you need even more help or some fresh look ideas, most makeup product websites have tips and tutorials.

Now that we are heading more into the winter season, many women might want to add a little more shimmer and smokiness to their look, especially for those holiday parties. To pull this off, look to the queen of shimmer, Elizabeth Arden. Golden Goddess Shimmer Cream Eye shadow can be purchased for $11.99 at online retailers. That pricing really is a bargain because most Elizabeth Arden eye shadow products go for twenty dollars and up.

Another tip from the fashion and makeup gurus of 2009 is that contoured cheeks are back and will complement smoky eyes just enough to be noticeable. If you have trouble matching blush tones with eye shadow tones, try coating your blush applicator with a hint of the eye shadow you are wearing for a perfect blend. Some of the best makeup artists use their products and tools in unconventional ways to get the best results.

Of course, the newest rage in any makeup line, including eye shadow cosmetics, is mineral makeup. One way to try out this new trend without breaking the bank is to buy Be Pure Mineral Eye shadow. This Jane eye shadow is relatively inexpensive and can be found at most drugstores. If you have sensitive eyes or skin, this fragrance free, oil free, and wax free makeup is worth a shot. Contact lens wearers may also find mineral eye shadow much more comfortable to wear.

The natural mineral eyeshadow trend will probably be seen more in the spring of 2010. Spring fashion and makeup usually is teemed with pastel clothing and fresh, clean looking faces. Shimmering eyes and cheekbones will work through the winter and into the spring, but consider changing the sparkling shades you are using. Grays and golden tones were for winter and pinks and soft violet eye shadow are for the spring. Spring is the time for clean and bright beginnings after long dreary winters, and it shows in the fashion and makeup world.
