Red eyes 'will be top natural makeup trend for spring'

Red eyes are set to be one of the top trends for the spring/summer season so women should get their hands on natural makeup in scarlet shades.

While there has been plenty of nude looks on show recently, colour has certainly not gone away. For example, Hilary Mantel, writing for the Guardian, recently said that navy and purple are being used to update the ever-popular smoky eye.

As for the red eye look, Stylist magazine said that women need to be careful about how they apply their natural makeup to get it right. They should begin by using a primer to avoid the red shadow to avoid it clumping in the creases of the eye.

'Make sure that red are not too post-boxey and opt for shades with a bronze, golden edge to them,' the magazine recommended.

These colours look fantastic with green eyes, while shades that are towards the more bronze end of the palette work brilliantly well with brown eyes, it said.

Women should look for cream-pressed or loose shadows with slight shimmers and when it comes to applying the product, they should fade the colour out along the eyelid, according to Stylist.

Get the YSL look using natural makeup in pink and indigo

Ladies who love to experiment with natural makeup may be inspired by the looks created for the Yves Saint Laurent show at Paris Fashion Week.

Makeup artist Dick Page told Allure magazine that he combined pink and indigo for an uber-glamorous, yet effortlessly cool effect.

He described the look as 'poetic' and said he blended a matte fuchsia shadow, which he toned down with a touch of grey colour, along the brow bone and under the eyes.

Ladies will also need a black liner in their natural makeup bag to create this look as Mr Page slicked the product along the top lashes then traced over the line with indigo shadow.

'We were going to do just the black liner, but I thought the indigo looked more beautiful,' he told the magazine. 'It tones down the pink shadow a bit.'

If pink is not your colour, then maybe you would prefer red, which Stylist magazine has said will be big this spring and summer.

Jennifer Aniston ditches natural hair care for photo shoot

She's known for being a natural beauty and in her latest magazine cover shoot Jennifer Aniston went earthy by not washing her hair.

The 41-year-old actress appears on the cover of W magazine with Gerard Butler, her co-star in the upcoming romantic comedy thriller The Bounty Hunter.

Her stylist, Chris McMillan, told the magazine that photographer Steven Klein asked her not to wash hair after the first day of the shoot, instead leaving it dirty. It really gives a new meaning to natural hair care.

'It just created a nice, chunky texture,' said the Mr McMillan, who created her famous 'Rachel' cut in the 90s. The style became so famous that it now ranks alongside other iconic looks, such as Marilyn Monroe's blonde curls, Jackie Kennedy's sleek bob and Audrey Hepburn's updo.

'The key to Jennifer's hair is no matter what you do with it - straight, frizzy, dirty - it looks like it actually grows out of her head,' Mr McMillan told the magazine.

As a result, she shows off a rougher, more flyaway style in the photos.

Natural skin care a must-have for Oscar-worthy shoulders

Natural and understated beauty was the theme at this year's Oscars and plenty of stars got their shoulders out on show for the night.

Lots of celebrities opted for the strapless dress, with the likes of Cameron Diaz, Miley Cyrus, Carey Mulligan and Kristen Stewart all wowing in shoulder-bearing gowns.

Any ladies out there who want to emulate these stars' fabulous looks need to make sure they are rigorous with their natural skin care regime to ensure they are glowing.

Hello magazine said that the skin needs to be 'super smooth' for a strapless dress to be shown off to best effect, so women should take their lead from natural beauties like Carey and Cameron.

Exfoliating and moisturising are key elements to the natural skin care regime in preparation for the look. Women should then slick the shoulders with highlighters to achieve a healthy glow.

Combined with natural makeup and the on-trend nude lip, the look is an Oscar winner.

Create catwalk looks with natural hair styling products

Styles at Stella McCartney's Paris show had a strict feel and women can emulate the look with a few natural hair styling products.

There was a tough, sharp edge to the minimalistic dos that have been so prevalent on the catwalks of New York, London, Milan and now Paris.

The styles combined a smooth finish on the crown with a feathery ponytail. This is a trend that Efi Davies, TONI&GUY international artistic director, recently predicted would be big in 2010, having seen the dual-textured finish at London Fashion Week.

Stylist Eugene Souleiman told Allure magazine that he misted the front and sides of the hair with a styling spray, which women can use natural hair styling products for if they prefer. Next, he created a diagonal side parting that curved around the head.

He then smoothed the top and sides of the hair and put it into a low ponytail, which he fluffed with a brush to make it airy and wispy. The style was then set in place with hairspray.

'This is a classic shape, but what makes it different is the contrast of the front being very shiny and chic and the ponytail being wild and raw,' he told the magazine.

Natural makeup goes tropical

Pale and interesting continues to be one of the favoured looks at the moment, but if you cannot do without a bit of colour in your natural makeup routine, a tropical blush is the way to go.

Look magazine said that this palette is being favoured by celebrities such as Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts, explaining that it is a great way to 'perk up winter complexions'.

Robin Narvaez, makeup artist at one of New York's top beauty boutiques, Salon Eliut Rivera, has also identified this natural makeup trend.

He recently told My Fashion Life that he expected pink and orange to be extremely popular this spring.

As for tropical-hued blusher, women need to choose the right shade for their skin, according to Look.

The publication recommended that ladies with fair complexions go for a fuchsia colour while those with olive and darker tones should choose a shade with an orange tint.

Look advised women to apply the blusher onto the cheekbones, then blend it up to the temples and right out into the hairline.

Most singles 'prefer people with natural grey hair'

Two-thirds of British singles prefer natural-looking grey locks, although 68 per cent of women would reach for the organic hair dyes to cover up silver strands, according to research.

A survey by Parship.co.uk found that 35 per cent of men and 28 per cent of women prefer grey tresses to dyed hair.

However, the poll of 1,000 single people revealed that the majority of women under 50 would definitely opt for the likes of organic hair dyes to colour their tresses if they were more than 25 per cent grey.

This is despite the fact that 40 per cent of men and 26 per cent of women feel that grey hair does not detract from someone's appeal, but in fact enhances it.

'More often than not, it's how we think people will perceive us that drives us to the dye bottle or colourist,' said Dr Victoria Lukats, psychiatrist and dating expert.

This was the reason that Hayden Panettiere gave for dying her hair red. She recently revealed to US Weekly that she changed her colour because she was sick of being perceived as cute because of her blonde locks.
