Gear up for a splash of color for Spring 2010.

That's the advice celeb makeup artist to the stars and Avon's Global Creative Color Director Jillian Dempsey has for beauty junkies looking for their next fix.

But don't worry, it's not an impossible dream you'll only see on the runway.

The mom of three, who is married to hottie Patrick Dempsey but won't kiss and tell about him (we asked!), is designing products for Avon that blend current fashion trends with easy application for ladies on the go just like herself.

"My philosophy has always been that makeup should be quick, easy and beautiful. I find inspiration in my everyday life; I'm a mom, a wife, a makeup artist and I need products that are multifunctional, easy-to-use and provide real, long lasting benefits," Dempsey tells StyleList.

A fan of products that do double duty -- like makeup that also provides skincare benefits -- Dempsey is most excited about a chubby pencil she designed for Avon called the Multi Pencil.

"It's a three-in-one, versatile pencil with creamy, blendable color for eyes, lips and cheeks. Each double ended pencil has a highlighting eyeshadow color on one end and a creamy lip and cheek color on the other, which is perfect for multi-taskers like myself," says Dempsey.

And the most modern way to head into Spring is to balance the color on your face with a pop of vibrance on the lips and neutral eyes.

"A dramatic lip with light eyes is going to be a big trend for spring. Look for high-definition color with vibrant lipsticks and lip glosses," advises Dempsey.

Want a jump start on wearing the trend?

Try your luck with
our exclusive Glazewear Giveaway - where you can win two gorgeous shades of the best-selling lipgloss in America.

Avon's Glazewear Liquid Lip Color boasts a hydrating formula made of Vitamins A, C and E combined with fun wearable shades that run the gamut from Real Red to Berry Cool. It's not hard to see why the wand glosses are so popular among the shiny-lipped bunch.

One swipe delivers moderate color coverage, while two coats give you a full coverage lipstick look - with extra luminous moisture. We're also loving the doe-foot applicator sponge, which doesn't splay and splinter like its brush counterparts after several uses.

10 lucky winners will receive two pretty shades each to play with for a perfect pout.

Here's how to enter:

-To enter, leave a confirmed comment below telling us your best lipgloss beauty secret.

-The comment must be left before March 21, 2010.

Lipgloss? Can't live without it. (I even wear it to the gym. Lipgloss - and one coat of mascara on an otherwise bare face - keep me looking, well, alive.) My best lipgloss beauty tip ... I add some loose sparkly glitter that complements the gloss, like Too Faced Kitty Glitter, to the lipgloss wand by coating it in the glitter and then reinserting it into the wand. I give it a few pumps to incorporate it into the gloss and swipe it on my lips for a glamorous evening look. It's a pretty look over lipstick or on bare lips and always generates compliments. Thanks for the chance to win! Melody@http://www.EverBeautiful.com

Lip gloss is not only for the lips. A few dabs of lipgloss is good for keeping untamed eyebrows in place. Also, when in a pinch, I also used it to clean mascara from under my eyes. Thank you for a chance to win a prize.

A dab of lighter shiny gloss on the middle of the top and bottom lip over lipstick gives a full sexy pout.

With this California dry weather, using lip gloss is a must first thing done for the day, The lip gloss is used over a burgandy color lipstick for a casual look that can transition from the day into a night out with friends.

The right shade of nude lip gloss gives the face a fresh, glowing look, and as an added benefit keeps the thin skin around your lips protected.

I like lip gloss's face-brightening quality. When your mouth appears larger, your face seems smaller and brighter.

I love how quick and easy lipgloss is to apply! It works well on its own for a casual look and can be worn over lipstick to intensify a more dramatic look. Thanks for the giveaway!

Lip gloss is a must for me. I use it to highlight my brow bone and cheeks, and as a wet look on the eyelids for more gleam, and after i put on lipstick i use a dab of gloss on the center of the top and bottom lip for an illusion of a fuller pout.

A shimmery light colored Lipgloss looks great if a small dab is put on the center of the lower lip over a bright colored lipstick. It gives lips an extra pop and looks glamorous!

I apply the lipgloss all the way to the edge and a tiny bit over. It makes the lips look fuller. Also, I always keep my lips well moisturized. Lip gloss over chapped lips is not pretty!

Put a thin layer of lip gloss on first, then apply lipstick. The gloss gives the lipstick something to which it can adhere.

I love lip gloss! I'm a 21 year old massage therapy sudent, and I go to work after class, so A couple drops of cinnamon-y (brown/light brown) colored gloss dabbed and smudged on my lips, gives me color, gloss and a sexy pout. That and blackest black mascara and I'm out the door. Beautiful, fresh and ready to go.

I like to use a nude lipliner pencil to color my lips first and then put glazewear over it. It lasts all night and gives a different depth of color for evening makeup.

for a custom glossy nude lip:
i put on softlips chap stick, and rub a tiny amount of my foundation on my lips. looks scary at first, but then i apply DuWop Lip Venom over it, and BAM, a custom fit, glossy, plump, nude lip in just your shade:) looks perfect with a dramatic smokey eye.

I always drink water, splashing a little on my lips before applying lip gloss. I find my lips stay moister and chapped lips disapear more quickly if I do this.

The chance to win lip gloss, is awesome, seeing how I use it like water and collect them like other women collect shoes. My lip gloss trick is: I use Avon only lip gloss as blush in a pinch.

I really like lip glosses with a blue tone that help my teeth appear whiter. I like glosses because they can be inexpensive, and therefor I can have as many colors as I like with little guilt. Avon glosses rock, the sales are phenomenal and the quality is excellent.

I love to add a healthy glow to my skin by using a shimmery lotion base and then use gloss on top of my lipstick to give my face a fresh, young look.

I myself wouldn't leave my house every day without first putting on lip gloss. I use a clear one with just a hint of pink..and with my coloring it is perfect!

I live wearing lipgoss instead of lipstick, it just looks more natural. I also use a second same color on my cheeks, just a little dab patted evenly for a natural glow. I have been doing this for years, I don't use dark colors for my age.
