BellaSugar's Guide to Pastel Beauty Products
I hope you've enjoyed my series on pastel beauty goodies. My personal favorites are peachy blushes, pale pink polishes, green eye shadows and lilac lip glosses. Click on the links below to discover a wealth of both wild and mild pastel beauty products to suit all of your springtime urges!
Pastel Products, Part V: Lovely Lacquers
Pretty pastel nail polishes are a fun way to lighten up any warm-weather beauty look. Pale pinks, sage greens, sunny yellows and light lavenders are beautiful shades to complement a special sundress or handbag. (And if you're still stuck with winter, they're a nice way to bring Spring to you early.) The colors come in an array of opaque formulas for you fearless femmes, as well as sheer versions for those of you who are still a little bit gun-shy.
Pastel Products, Part IV: Cheerful Cheeks
Welcome back to my series on pretty pastel beauty products. I hope that checking out these flirty finds is getting you excited for Spring. Below are three different pastel blushes that are best worn on the apples of your cheeks and then blended outwards (to your hairline) and upwards (towards the top of your ear).
Pastel Products, Part III: Lively Lips
Spring is a great time to play around with pretty shades of pastel lip colors. While some years breed paler pouts than others, one of this season's hottest beauty trends involves vibrant variations on pinks, purples, peaches, and even yellows. Here are three colors I love, and a few more that are just too fun to leave out.
Pastel Products, Part II: Precious Face Powders
Part two of my springtime pastel products series is all about luminosity. These powders help absorb excess oil while giving your skin that healthy glow. Blend them all over your face for a more noticeable "light," or add a touch to the tip of your nose, forehead, and cheekbones for subtle radiance.
Pastel Products Part 1: Easter-Egg Eye Shadow Shades
Spring will officially be here by week's end. This season is known for heavy pastel makeup shades, and 2008 is no exception. As we've seen in my post about Festive Floral Spring Beauty Buys, beauty brands have made pretty and pale floral products a big part of their offerings.

Jemma Kidd Has Easy Eye Makeup Basics
When it comes to applying your makeup, what area do you find to be the trickiest? If you're like me, it's all about the eye area. While I love trying trendy shades and techniques, sometimes I just want a quick and easy routine.
MTV Video Music Awards: Lauren Conrad
Lauren may have retired from The Hills, but she's certainly still a presence on the red carpet. For the VMAs, she ditched her extensions and went with a 1930s-inspired style held back with a sweet hair clip. Her makeup was all whisper pinks, from eyes to cheeks and lips.
Shiseido Crafts Up Mosaics For Fall
It's that time of the year again, as kids — and adults alike — head back to school. That means it's also time for the launches of Fall 2009 makeup collections.
