Just in time for spring, The New York Times is reporting that more and more women are embracing bolder and brighter makeup shades. Companies like MAC Cosmetics and Makeup for Ever are noticing more women opting for daring makeup shades and palettes. Eyes, lips and nails are all getting bolder and more vibrant. So much so, that even drugstore brands are catching on to the popularity and launching brighter makeup collections.
MAC, Makeup For Ever and Sephora all offer customers trained makeup technicians that specialize in teaching the average woman how to apply makeup and what colours best suit them. These technicians are also eager to pass along new colour trends and styles which customers are now starting to embrace. Customers are losing their fear of bright vibrant colours and jumping on board the bold makeup bandwagon.
In light of this interest in bolder makeup, we thought we would share our favourite vibrant makeup products for Spring 2010.
