One of my favorite trends to emerge from the Spring ’09 runway shows was the beautiful array of metallic bronzed tones. Usually the spring runways bring us lots of pastels and pinks, so these molten eyes, lips and cheeks were a very welcome breath of fresh air. I loved the shimmery nude looks at Donna Karan, Carlos Miele and Milly.

It’s an easy look to pull off and best of all, you don’t need to drop a load of cash to get the precious metal face. Here’s a list of my favorite products to help turn you into a bronzed beauty for spring.

Avon Celestial Eyeshadow in Moon Sand
This heavenly shadow features a marbleized blend of shimmery neutral tones that can be applied dry for a sheer wash of color or wet for an intense, super-saturated look.

MAC 34 Lash
A good brown lash is hard to find, which is why I love this long and wispy winged lash. It features a blend of chocolate and black lashes for a subtle and natural color to complement your nude with attitude makeup.

Yes to Carrots C Me Shine Lip Gloss in Cocoa Loco
This pretty lacquer has tons of pigment, so you get a great color payout, and is made with 95% certified organic ingredients. That means the beeswax, carrot seed oil and vitamin E formula not only nourishes your lips, it’s good for you too.

Conditioning peptides and palm butter, creamy long-lasting color and SPF 20? What’s not to love with this multitasking lip color? The shimmery bronze shade has just a hint of pink, making it flattering for almost every skin tone. It works just like a lip balm to moisturize but gives you the great color and coverage of a lipstick for a match made in beauty heaven.

Physician’s Formula Mineral Wear 100% Mineral BronzeBrightener
This little wonder will quite literally make your skin glow. It’s made of 100% minerals and luminizing crushed mineral gems to give you the perfect faux tan with just a hint of shimmer. It’s great for sensitive skin or those with skin allergies.
