This spring, pinks are in...for the lips, that is. Fresh, radiant yet matte skin sets the stage for a naturally flawless appearance--add a light touch of blush to bring your look to life. Shades and highlights are used to softly accentuate the natural curves of the face. For our day look, dilute that all-too-often deep smokey eye with lighter neutrals, and add emphasis with the perfect eyeliner. For a sexy nighttime visage, deepen the eyes, and liven up the liner.
These are my top five picks for spring 2009:
1. Clarisonic Skin Care System, $195.00-$350.00
The key to a beautiful makeup application is the canvas to which it is applied. Clarisonic has created a unique multi-speed facial brush that gets up to six times more makeup, dirt, and bacteria than normal skin care. The brush head moves at a whopping 300 times/second, leaving skin refreshed and tight. The appearance of pores are minimized, paving the way to perfect skin. The brush heads should be changed every 3-4 months, and have three variations. 
**As of 2009, over $600,000 has been donated to breast cancer research (EIF Revlon Walk/Run For Life), over $400,000 of it due to the sales of the Pink Ribbon Facial Brush. Get a chance to see Dr. Robb Akridge, co-founder of Clarisonic on the red carpet.

2. MAC: Strobe Cream, $29.50/50ml
This de-stressing, brightening, dimensional face cream is a great addition to any full-face makeup job. Apply after your normal skin regiment, and before your foundation. Strobe Cream delivers just the right amount of radiance, without the greasy feeling. It works on all skin-types but, as with all skin products, discontinue use if you aren't satisfied with the results. 
3. Shu Uemura: Pink Collection Rouge & Gloss Unlimited, $22.00-$23.00
Keep your smile naturally sexy, with Shu's latest collection With just the right of amount of color saturation in both products, you can create the perfect pink for your lips, without looking vampy. Lips feel hydrated and soft for up to 8 hours. The hues can be mixed and matched to suit any skin tone. To get the most out of your lip products, use a lip brush*. It takes less lipstick, lengthening the lifespan of your product, and applies the perfect amount of color/product.
