Makeup artist Jane McKay answers a few more questions about what's hot for spring 2009:
Homemakers.com: What should every woman carry in her makeup bag this spring?
Jane McKay: Golden bronzing powder. Apply to sculpt the face when contouring the cheeks. Pink and peach lip-gloss.
HM.com: What new colours are hot for the season?
JM: Corals, pinks. Think about muted Easter egg colours for shadows, blush and lips. Try wearing brown eye liner so it creates smudgy, slept in- looking eyes.

HM.com: What about nail colours? Anything new?
JM: MAC has a fantastic peppermint green polish called Peppermint Patti. It goes perfectly with the Easter egg colour trend.
Makeup DOs and DON'Ts
Jane McKay offers up the golden rules of wearing the trends this season:
DO bronze intelligently. Strategically place bronzer on the face. Don't wash the whole face with bronzer as it may look one-dimensional and flat.
DO wear moisturizer. Start with an SPF and add more layers. It really works to help plump, smooth and even skin texture.
DON'T apply your makeup like you've "always done". Try something new. Remember, you can always wash it off if you don't like it.
DO let your creamy brown liner run and smudge a bit.
DO curl your lashes to lift the eye up and out.
DON'T forget to exfoliate. It makes a world of difference for dry, dull, blemished or aging skin.
DON'T forget to add pretty colours to your makeup palette. They will pick up your mood.
DO add a soft pink or peach blush only to the apple of the cheek.
DON'T forget to blend. A gradation of colours always looks better than overly sharp or hard lines.
