Beauty news: Blushing for spring

What's hot this month? ELLE's editors pick the best of the beauty crop.

By Stefanie Polsinelli

Sit front row at all the major Spring fashion shows with our NEW live runway videos. You can check out the latest beauty trends here!

Trend of the month: Rose affair
Fall in love with dusty-rose-coloured makeup. Pink is associated with the fourth chakra of the body -- the heart -- so no wonder designers are crushing on the hue. At Michael Kors and Sportmax, models had a romantic air with flushed cheeks and rosy lips.

What's new?
Oxygen, skin care's newest star ingredient, turns the moniker "airhead" into a compliment. This anti-aging cleanser and cream boosts O2 levels in the skin and helps with collagen synthesis and cell renewal.

Freeze 24-7 Skin Glacé Daily Detoxifying Cleanser & Mask, $85
The latest in prevention
Elizabeth Arden's latest skin-care line aims to halt skin aging -- due to stressors like sun exposure, pollution and a hectic lifestyle-by boosting the cells' protective abilities. The products use Biodormin technology, which is based on Narcissus tazetta bulb extract.

Must have: Cosmetic clean sweep
Infused with makeup remover and botanicals -- like cucumber extract and aloe vera -- the latest beauty tools from M.A.C and Revlon take the "oops!" out of makeup application while soothing the skin around the eyes and lips.
