What do you wear with the latest looks on the Spring/Summer fashion collections? What goes with the myriad of color, sheer fabrics, drama and prints of the season?

Every year, Spring and Summer brings a certain lightness after a long dreary winter. That lightness is displayed in Spring and Summer dresses with ruffles and flowy dresses. Pastels, brights, florals and whites herald these warmer, brighter months.

Take the cue from this season’s shows. The models’ makeup are exactly what goes best with the outfit, though the looks may be a little too dramatic for the regular woman. Tone down the runway portrayal and you’ve got the perfect image for the season.

Alexandra McQueen’s models were strong on the brow, with medium brights on the lips for a look that portrays strength. Anna Sui’s models portrayed the bad girl image with smoky eyes setting the stage for seduction. Vera Wang’s models were naturally pretty, with nude makeup that always makes a come back every summer. Chanel’s models were glamorous with bright red lipstick that would do a 1940’s movie starlet proud.

Here’s a rundown of the 4 main trends in beauty for Spring/Summer 2008.

1. Smoky Eyes - Seduction

Here, the focus is on the eyes. Heavily mascaraed eyes, with lots of liner and very dark, smokey eyeshadow brings all the attention to the eyes. That look is balanced with naturally rosy lips and pale cheeks to avoid looking tarty.

2. Strong Brows - Strength

In this case, brows are well-defined. Blondes would have dark blonde brows or brown brows while brunettes have black brows. Lips are a medium shade of red or pink or peach or bronze while cheeks are barely flushed.

3. Bright Red Lips - Glamorous

That’s the look of the 40’s movie starlet. Bright red lipstick, but toned down eyes and cheeks. The lips are painted scarlet, orange red or crimson while eyes aren’t obviously lined. Mascara too is light and the eyeshadow is in a natural shade like peach or sand or beige. Blusher, if any, is applied with a very light hand, in a shade that goes with the lipstick.

4. Barely There Makeup - Natural

That’s the classic nude makeup look popular every summer. Yes, you use liner, mascara, lipstick, blusher and eyeshadow but the choice of color makes the difference. Pick colors brownish pink shades for lips and cheeks, sand, or browns slightly darker than your natural skintone for your eyeshadow and brown mascara and liner for that naturally pretty look.

Ladies fashion trends for spring bring you lots of looks to choose from but there are two styles that I really enjoy. As I’ve seen stripes are really popular this spring and you can see them everywhere: from casual to dressy tops, to skirts and pants. You can choose vertical and horizontal stripes but you should always pick the ones that will match your body perfectly. Vertical stripes draw the eye up and down and horizontal stripes draw the eye sideways. If you’re tall and slim you should got for vertical and if don’t want to look wider you shouldn’t go for horizontal. If you match stripe clothes with a jacket you could get a trendy business look that will impress a lot of people. As I’ve seen on fashion blog, another style that is really popular this summer is safari look. Safari clothes are comfortable and chic for work or for fun. The khaki color is really used and it’s a nice and practical color if you’re going at work or outside visiting the city. A khaki coat matches with a black belt is one of the best combinations this spring and if you also add a tote bag, a nice safari dress and black shoes, you’ll get a perfect look.
