A rather disturbing makeup trend has hit the Spring runway shows!  Natural-looking make-up often means switching to colors such taupes and browns, but for spring/summer 2012 the minimalistic beauty trend really does mean paring things right back.  At Proenza Schouler, Missoni and Peter Pilotto, make-up artists turned down the volume by shunning mascara in favor of a pretty, bare eye look and natural lips. But can we turn away from mascara?

Then there was the perfect hairspray from Kenra which is great for volume and hold.  $17

Or the travel blowdryer from Hai Elite that comes complete with a system that can be used in the States or overseas. Under $50.

On the SPa side there is the Instantly Ageless the is like a Facelift in A Bottle which basically plumps up fine lines for hours around the eyes.

Dinair was also a busy destination with the Airbrush makeup systems that can turn the face flawless in a matter of minutes. The kits start at $29.95.

The show goes until Monday and there are some great products and good deals.
