When springtime comes, the weather is warmer and nature keeps reminding us how beautiful the world can be.

Take a page from Mother Nature’s book and update your makeup look to embrace the beauty of spring. Consider these top 10 makeup tips and trends for spring 2010.
1. Try various shades of green this season. Green nail polish and eye makeup are still hot!
2. Wear softer shades of makeup on your eyes, like pinks, purples, and blues. Steer away from the dark eye look for a little while.
