You’ve got the frock, know what make-up look you’re going for, but what about that all important hairstyle for the Christmas party?
If you’re not too keen on an updo why not take inspiration from the latest celebrity red carpet looks and go for loose Christmas curls.
Inspired by style icon Bridget Bardot, this look has recently been channelled by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Kelly Brook and of course Kate Middleton. And it’s also very simple to achieve.
Split hair into sections, grab the curling tongs or heated rollers and set with hairspray. For extra volume gently backcomb roots.

One beauty trend has taken on the gothic Halloween look this season and that’s the Beetle Juice look. Hot on the Zac Posen AW2011 this look combines metallic blues and darker hues to create a darker side to your make up style.
Pick one single colour for a plainer look or go all out with marble effects and combine blues for a truly scary look at that Christmas or New years eve party.
Add a foundation but keep cheeks simple before adding a gloss to lips.
Get the look with our gallery below.

Kelly Rowland won the X Factor judges style wars hands down when she turned up on Saturday night sporting the masculine trend.
The singer who has clearly taken inspiration from the likes of Burberry and Marc Jacobs looked hot in a black tux blazer, white shirt and skinny cigarette trousers teamed up with black court shoes.
To complete the look she kept her hair tied back in a bun. We absolutely love this look so we’ve scoured the highstreet to find the best bits to achieve this style.
See the gallery below for our faves.

We’re sooo over the style excitement of Halloween and already can’t wait for this weekend’s firework displays. However, dressing for this event isn’t as easy as it seems.
You want to keep warm, yet stay stylish at the same time, and while the heels are calling, they are hardly practical. Therefore we suggest a casual chic look.
Go for a cutesy themed knitted jumper, which will keep you warm but also give a nod to the night and team up with a pair of skinny jeans or jeggings that can be tucked into flat on-trend knee high boots.
Finish off the look with cute mittens and a hat and a chic parka. See the gallerybelow for our best buys.

If you’re a gal who likes to go subtle when it comes to your make up then the doll eyes look is a perfect AW 2011 compromise.
The make up as seen as Lanvin is all about the eyes, and its nature means you can use just about any type of eyeliner to get the look.
For dramatic eyes opt for a gel eyeliner to draw a thick line just at the outer third of the eyelid then use a finger to gently smudge the edges just beyond the eye. For a daytime look switch to either a kohl or crayon liner and finish with a huge dollop of mascara on both the bottom and lop lashes.
Those worried about going all natural can also use a foundation to even out skin tones, but keep it light.
See the gallery below on how to get the look.

If you want a make up look that will really make you stand out this season then you’ll love the subtle grunge look. The trend was all over the AW 2011 catwalks championed by both Vivienne Westwood and Vera Wang and goes perfectly with the 80s clothing trends that are hot at the moment.
To get the look you’ll need to focus mainly on the eyes to get a smokey look. Keep the foundation to a minimum and add a touch of girly frosted pink lippy.
See the gallery below for a masterclass on how to get the look as well as what make up to buy.

If you’re going out this Halloween weekend but aren’t sure what to dress up as – of if you should dress up at all – finding the right outfit can be a nightmare! One simple, yet eye-catching way of adding a bit of ‘something’ to your appearance is investing in fake eyelashes. Luckily there are lots to choose from these days so you shouldn’t have a problem finding a pair.
Selfridges has a great selection of false eye lashes by well-known brands like Shu Uemura and Mac, as well as dramatic make-up brand for your alter ego, and a ShinyShiny favourite, Illamasqua. We also love the paper lashes from PAPERSELF. Inspired by the art of Chinese paper-cutting these lashes blend an element of traditional culture with contemporary design.
Take inspiration above for your next party – just don’t forget to bat those lashes!

As we’ve said numerous times throughout our Halloween Costume Ideas series there are sexy and fashionable ways to turn up to party.
You don’t have to go in full traditional zombie bride attire, nor do you have to cake on that make up to get that demonic look.
Last week we gave you a few pointers on how to be a fashionable devil and today it’s the turn for wannabe witches. You’ve got that sexy witch dress but covering your face with green paint and a hairy mole at the end of your nose won’t do you any favours.
Instead why not look for an obvious, yet subtle alternative. View the gallery below to get some tips on how to bewitch those eyes. Add black lipstick and you’re all set to go.

Gone are the days when dressing up as a She Devil for Halloween meant you had to coat your face in red sticky face paint.
As Halloween parties have become more and more fashionable so have the make-up looks associated with the traditional costumes and the devil look is just one example with many demonesses swapping the obvious look for bold eye make up that gives a nod to this look.
To get a look that screams She Devil, yet remains sexy start with a dark grey or black eyeshadow and coat your upper lid. Take the colour right up to the brow.
Once you’ve done this add some red shadow over the top of this, but keep it to the lid. Blend in to give a seamless look and add some thick black liner to both the top and bottom lids.
To complete the look add some bright red lipstick and you’re set to tempt any male at that party into being naughty.
See the gallery below for a list of everything you need to get the look.
