Spring Forward to 2011 trends

While I have talked about Fashion Week nail trends (here and here oh and a how-to here) I figured it was time to show some of my favorite makeup trends and how to achieve the look. So far Rachel Roy and Betsey Johnson have my favorite looks when it comes to makeup trends! Many of my favorite trends use MAC Cosmetics. However my two absolute favorites Betsey used Stila and Ms. Roy used Bobbi Brown.
