Blakelock High School were recently on display at the Royal Botanical Gardens to coincide with its Orchid Society's 34th annual Spring Orchid Show and Sale. The artistic works of the teens were also judged and ribbons were handed out in various categories. Clockwise from above, judge Lauren Booklin looks over the student works, including in the foreground an acrylic, cardboard on canvas piece titled The Ideal Orchid; a mixed media on paper piece titled Blooming Love; and artworks Tri- ora and Orchid Madness, both acrylics on canvas. | photos by Graham Paine ­ Oakville Beaver (Follow on Twitter @halton_photog or www.facebook.com/HaltonPhotog) Follow Oakville Beaver staff on Twitter @Oakville_Beaver, @NewsHooked, @HerbGarbutt, @DavidLea6, @BeaverSports, and @Halton_Photog Advertorial New beauty trends for spring (NC) Spring is nally here. That means it's time to ditch the dark colours and experiment with bold, beautiful colours. From the fashion runways straight to your makeup bag, celebrity makeup artist and Canadian beauty authority, Grace Lee, shares this season's top three spring beauty trends that will keep any look fresh. Get creative with colour "Colour is central to every look I create because it really showcases a person's personality and the eyes are absolutely the rst feature people notice," says Lee. "Just like you might experiment with a new hair colour or use a bold nail polish, AIR OPTIX COLORS contact lenses offer you another way to be unique, stand out and express your personality." Coloured contact lenses can be a subtle or dramatic change, making it easy to transform your everyday look faster than Katy Perry changes her hair colour. Bow to the brow Step away from the tweezers. The age of overly manicured brows is on its way out and designers are all about the natural look for spring. A thicker more de ned brow is a great way to accentuate the face and make your eyes standout. "Even if you keep the rest of your makeup minimal, groomed brows frame the face and give off an appearance of being polished and put together," says Lee. Bring bright back to your lips Ditch the dark winter hues and bring spring to your lips with a fresh pop of colour. Bright lip colours are hot for spring and they add a fuss-free feminine look without being too showy. Lee reveals some of the standout new hues that are a must-have for your makeup bag: "Try applying one bold berry colour on the lip, like a raspberry or cranberry. Lots of people are intimidated by bright colour or are under the assumption that they cannot wear it. Take the plunge!" Spring is the perfect time to #LiveInColor with a new beauty routine.
