Makeup Trends of 2012? Yes, please!

Find the hottest makeup trends of 2012 right below! Youtube has awesome tutorials on how to do these, just use the name in your search!

1. An array of reds. Use different tones, and amounts to create your own look! The red lips should be the statement of your look, so advise not to over do it.



2. Modern cat eyes. Take the cat eye trend to a whole new level with these unique styles!



3. The bold power brow. No longer is plucking and waxing necessary if you want to try out this look!



4. Extremely smokey eye brows. This look is pretty self explanatory!



5. White Silver Metallics. Incorporate this style into different forms!



6. Bright pops of color! Add random bursts of bright color to your makeup for a cool look.



7. Doll Lashes! I love these, they bring out your eyes, and really give an appearance a chic look. Look at the pink ones!



8. Rosebud lips! Pretty for spring and plump!
