EYES, EYES, EYES - Dramatic! That's the key word for eyes this season. Electric, fluorescent shades of neon orange, yellow, and red in simple "strips" across eyelids have made a splash this spring. Can we say pizazz? If you're not quite that brave, another hot look is the amped-up smoky eye. Bright jewel tones like blue, green, and purple, give a new, fresh twist to this classic look when they are added to the always lovable, always trendy, black eye shadow.

You can choose the super-shiny, high-gloss appeal, or the more muted, yet equally alluring, matte-look for your lips. Either way, it's time to pucker up and kiss spring hello!
