Flawless, contoured skin OK, so flawless skin never really goes out of style, but Del Castillo says this year the trend is to focus on highlighting and contouring your features. "Add light to your face, don't use bronzer only, but add highlight to your cheekbones, under your brows, and at your temples," he says. "You want a nice, satiny look to your skin, not shiny."

Del Castillo suggests using cream or powder highlighters along with your usual bronzer and blush. And spend a little extra time perfecting your complexion with foundation and concealer. "If I see glowing, gorgeous skin, that's really striking to me," Del Castillo says. "I really look at it, all the highlights and contours, and I'll automatically give that woman a compliment on her skin -- even if it could be just makeup smoke and mirrors."

I want to see more of the lavender lips...and I am SO over the bangs fad. I think that if your name is not Zoey Deschanel, stay FAR away from straight cut bangs, because she is pretty much the only human being alive who can pull them off properly.

Not really interested in many of these styles. Though, I liked the red hair. And I wish I could get a more contoured look.

Fun, fresh list! I already have red hair, but I have been dying to play with the color a little. Lighter shades don't work with my coloring, but I may try some highlights or go with a darker auburn shade (yes, for spring--who cares?).

Not so much on any of the looks described here, except flawless skin. Too bad there were no product suggestions.

I'm inspired to work on the flawless, contoured skin. And I'm tempted to try lavender lipstick...

I'm gonna try lavender lips!

The lavender lips is almost as bad as the orange ones. I am really into the bold eyeshadows and think contouring is a must, not really a trend.

Not fond of lavender lips but I love red hair. The flawless skin tips this year have helped in making me appear younger.
