KTB's Top 3 Make-up Trends to ROCK This Spring!

1.BOLD Lips: Rock this hott trend with red, fuchia, orange or hot pink!!

How to wear it: Keep the rest of your make-up minimal..fresh foundation and black mascara, while letting your lips attract all the attention. Muah!!

Try: MAC lipstick in Morange $15.00

2. Bright Eyes: Add a fun color such as pink, green, orange or blue...pastel to neon, experiment to see what works for you!

How to wear it: Choose your favorite funky color and apply it all over your lid..from the lash line to the crease. Add black eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible and a coat or 2 of black mascara! Wink!!

Try: L'Oreal eye shadow single in Reflecting pool $6.00

3.Liner Power: Simple classic winged liner..bold and feminine!! Either basic black, or a swipe of sunny YELLOW across your lash line! (straight from the runway!!)

How to wear it: Keep the rest of you face minimal..flawless skin and a hint of bronzer for warmth. Apply liner along lash line, thin towards the inner corner of your eye and thicker as you get to the outer corner of your eye. Flick the edge up for that classic winged effect. Black mascara and BOOM!!

Try: Jordana bright eyes retractable eye liner in Yellow $2.00

A tan is the must-have accessory for spring/summer..not to mention your big day. Here is KTB's Guide to the "do it yourself" tan =) *Did you know: A tan can INSTANTLY make you appear 10 pounds thinner!! Gotta love that! Prep your skin: Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate: I repeat, exfoliate. Exfoliating gets rid of all the icky dead skin cells that have not shed on their own. Starting with freshly exfoliated skin will ensure a smooth even color with no embarrassing blotches! And don't forget to shave!! Use either textured scrub gloves with your favorite body wash or your favorite body scrub in the shower. Tan baby: Apply self tanner to clean dry skin. Make sure to take your time and cover all areas. (You may need a helper to get your back) Choose a self tanner with a tint so you can see any missed areas. It is also helpful to rub a bit of regular lotion over knees, elbows and ankles after tanner to keep dry areas from absorbing too much color. Also, don't forget to WASH YOUR HANDS after applying tanner!! KTB highly recommends Bare Escentuals Faux Tan $22.00..it's tinted and gives an amazing perfect color..every time!! *for those who want just a hint of color or for "newbies"..try a gradual self-tanning moisturizer like Jergen's Natural Glow $8.99. It only adds a bit of color at a time and you can use it everyday to build the tan gradually. Dry & develop: Make sure to give yourself time to dry before putting on clothing. We recommend wearing dark loose-fitting clothes while your tanner is developing. Full color results should be seen in 4-8 hours (depending on the brand) STAY DRY! Don't let any water get on your skin!! Fix boo-boos: Use a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice on a washcloth to fix any dark spots or tan palms! If your fingernails, toenails or cuticle areas absorbed too much color try applying a facial bleaching cream to the areas for about 10 mins. *OR if you don't want to do it yourself...try a professional!!! KTB recommends: Gorgeous Glow Mobile Airbrush Tanning by Mary Batt (she can come to YOU!!) www.ggtanning.com

Now lets go get our tan on!!! Kisses L&L!!!
