Ombré eyes Like most of us, celebrity makeup artist Sarah Lucero is excited about bright colors this spring. "It's the prefect time of year to experiment," she says. Once you choose your shade, she suggests trying an ombré look -- where the color is most concentrated near the lashline and then gradually fades as it reaches your brows.

Backstage at the Spring 2012 Alice & Olivia presentation she created the look with a teal shade and then topped it off with lots of lashes. To get the glossy effect she wanted, she painted Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Electric, $22, all over the lid.

Metallic eye shadow is pretty; I wish I had thicker brows. Go WITHOUT eye makeup? Not me!

I love the red eye shadow, and you can never have enough lashes, but they need to be neat. The girl in the pic with the false lashes look clumpy, 'like her lashes looked good the night before and she woke up with a hang over and clumpy lashes that needs to be refreshed

Layers of lashes looks very pretty. This past month Ive been going all nude in my face as in no makeup and the little stubborn blemishes I cant get rid of have dissapeared so I really like that

Most of these are for the daring.

Layered lashes... might have to give that a try, sorta 60s glam.
