Makeup is getting a make-under for spring. Makeup is getting a make-under for spring. Whether your seasonal wardrobe will be made up mostly of cool neutral clothes or pop-art brights, makeup artists advise not to go overboard with rainbow colors. They'll create too much of a contrast with the understated pieces, and you risk appearing cartoonish with the whole mod look. Robyn Tamura, director of strategy and creative development for Clinique's global education program, says if white is the base of your outfit, the first beauty step to take is to smooth out the skin's texture. Then brighten the eye with concealer and work on defining the lash line, eyelashes and brows. "It doesn't have to be about bold colors, it's more about technique," she says. Joe Costa, a makeup artist for Yves Saint Laurent, suggests a palette that is natural in the spirit of the great outdoors, which has countless shades of rich browns and sandy tans. "We have a tendency with a natural look to think everything has to be neutral, but if you look at nature that's not how it is. ... Think of when grandma used to pinch your cheeks. That's 'natural looking,' but you have color." If you have browns and beiges on the eye, Costa says to wear a rosier shade on either the lips or cheeks -- not both. To dress up the face for evening, use black around the eyes. "Eyeliner is huge for spring," Costa said. "It's about the 'natural nude face' -- that's what I call it," says makeup artist Bobbi Brown. "It's not all beiges, it's about finding the colors that are right for you. "If you're very pale, nude is the color of your lips, probably a pale pink. But if you have darker skin, what is 'nude'? It could be bronze. I'm sure Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow all have different nude colors." 點擊查看更多雙語新聞 (AP)

春季的妝容應該以淡妝為主。 無論你這個季節的服裝是以“酷酷的”中性風格為主還是以流行的鮮亮風格為主，化妝專家們建議，少用過于艷麗的顏色。 因為艷麗的顏色與素凈的衣服搭配起來會顯得太扎眼，弄不好就會讓你的一身打扮看起來很卡通。 倩碧全球教育項目戰略與創意發展部經理羅賓·塔姆拉說，如果你的衣服以白色為主，那么第一步就得消除面部肌膚粗糙不平；然后用遮瑕產品修飾眼部，使眼睛更有神；再畫眼線、睫毛和眉毛。 她說：“顏色是否夸張大膽并不重要，技巧才是關鍵。” 圣羅蘭化妝大師喬·考斯塔建議，應本著貼近大自然的精神來選擇顏色，比如，各種不同深淺的棕色、茶褐色在大自然中都能找到。 “我們總認為自然妝容就是什么都是沒色彩，但是如果你留意一下‘自然’，就會明白事實并非如此……你可以回憶一下小時候臉被奶奶擰紅之后的樣子，那就是一種‘自然妝容’，但還是有色彩的。” 考斯塔說，如果眼部用的是棕色或淡棕色，可以在唇部或臉部用玫瑰色，但不要兩處都用。晚妝要稍濃，眼部可用黑色。 考斯塔說：“春季用眼線筆過于濃重。” 化妝大師鮑比·布朗說：“‘自然真臉龐'才是最美，這是我的叫法。并不是說淡棕色就最好，關鍵是要找到適合你自己的顏色。” “如果你的臉色比較蒼白，可以用肉色的唇彩，最好是淡粉色。但是如果你的膚色比較暗，那選擇什么樣的‘自然色’呢？可以用古銅色。我敢定碧昂絲、珍妮弗·洛佩茲和格溫妮絲·帕爾特羅所用的‘自然色’都不同。” （英語點津姍姍編輯）
