Spring 2008 makeup trends are bold and beautiful. These looks are reminiscent of 1960s pop art from artists like Andy Warhol, with palettes ranging from bright blues to vivacious violets. This trend is extending even into the fall shows of designers such as Derek Lam.
The key to the look is vibrant eyes and lips complemented by matte, canvas-like skin. Don't worry if you are on an artist's budget and lack artistic expertise -- you can still achieve these looks.
