Like the frocks at this year’s National Television Awards, the make up did us proud.
There was hardly any over tanned Orangutans in sight and no streaky legs of faces. Instead stars from the TV world looked to next seasons hottest make up trends to make their beauty stand on the red carpet.
Tulisa redeemed her disastrous pink frock with bronzed skin and pale pink lippy, while Elle Macpherson and Michelle Keegan kept it clean with their minimal make up looks.
Showing off that bright red lippy was Fearne Cotton who went for a vintage feel, while Lydia Bright teamed up hers with vampish eyes.
See the gallery below for our top five beauty trends of the night.

Metallics are no strangers to the fashion world, often making an appearance on clothing, in hair and of course eye make-up and next season they make more than just a cameo.
For Spring/Summer 2012 this trend has a leading role in the eye make-up show. However, unlike this season where metallics were dark and bold, next season is all about pale shimmery hues.
Copy the look seen on the Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Gucci catwalks and go for an almost white metallic eyeshadow to make your eyes stand out.
To combine this, and the smokey trend gently brush lower lids with this hue, but not too much- this trend is all about softness.
See the gallery below for our top five designer looks.

The Spring season is almost upon us and we can’t wait to push those jumpers to the back of our wardrobes. It’s also a great excuse to revamp our make up bags.
If you’re a girl who loves the 60s look then you’ll adore this season’s beauty trends, which give a huge nod to this era. One such look is statement smoky eyes.
Seen on the catwalks of Gucci, Rodarte and Erin Fetherstone this look lets you be as big and bold as you like.
Coat those eyelids with dark bold colours, which spread to the brow and of course under the eyelids add some thick eyeliner and you’re ready to dance away to those cheesy tunes in one of this season’s hottest looks.
See the gallery below for our top five statement smoky eye looks.

Yesterday it was all about the fab frocks at the Golden Globe awards, but today we’ve decided to focus on something equally important and that’s of course hair and make-up.
Trending at this year’s awards was the bronzed face and smokey eyed look channelled by Reese Witherspoon – who completed the look with luscious waves- and Lea Michelle who decided to finish the look with an up-do.
Also following this trend was Nicole Richie who bought the look bang into this season with a high ponytail. However, there were other trends also spotted when it came to beauty.
Angelina Jolie and Claire Danes emulated classic Hollywood chic with pale foundation and statement red lips, while Zooey Deschanel went all 60s with a blunt fringe and heavy eyeliner.
See all the Golden Globe 2012 beauty in the gallery below.

Kylie Minogue tries to go make-up free as often as possible.
The singer says it’s important to have a break from wearing cosmetics as it allows the skin to breath, although she admits it’s not always easy.
She said: “I often go without make-up, but these days it does depend on the paparazzi situation. They used to use camera film and weren’t so in-your-face, but now it’s just all high-definition and sometimes you just know it isn’t going to be good. My secret is a top knot and sunnies!”
Kylie says she tries to stay true to her own style and not be influenced by trends.
She told Britain’s more! magazine: “When I think of timeless style icons like Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn, I wonder how they would have coped with the pressure of today’s world, where very few months there’s a different trend. Somebody like Sarah Jessica Parker really inspires me. She’s a modern fashion icon.”

Kate Winslet says glamour is all about being “understated”.
The Oscar-winning actress says it’s important not to go over-the-top when getting ready to go out as less is nearly always more.
She said: “Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated. For example, with very bold lip colours, you can’t overdo the rest of your face. With a bright-red party lipstick, just go with lots of mascara and keep everything else clean. I love Lancome’s L’Absolu Rouge lipstick as it lasts. Unless you spend the whole night snogging, you won’t need to reapply.”
Kate also says she mixes two foundations together when preparing her face base.
She told InStyle magazine: “I rarely rely on one foundation – mixing two colours can make a big difference. I never use too much powder, only in the right areas (such as the T-zone). I have peachy fuzz on my cheeks, so I have to be careful with powder. I add a little of Lancome’s Golden Hat Blush Palette on my cheeks – it just brightens up everything.”

Jessie J uses glue on her eyes.
The ‘Price Tag’ hitmaker claims using Copydex adhesive has given her the best results with false eyelashes – though she admits it has some unwanted effects.
She said: “I use Copydex adhesive to put on my eyelashes. Everyone looks at me like I’m crazy. It smells a bit fishy but it stays put and it’s so sticky that you can reuse them.”
While Jessie hates the smell of her eyelash glue, she is a big fan of a particular hair product because of its scent.
She said: “My hair hot list includes the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette range, Bumble and Bumble and Argan oil. And I love TIGI smoothing Lusterizer – it has glitter in it and makes your hair smell like bubblegum.”
The 23-year-old star also admitted she is trying to use less make-up as she thinks she has overdone it in the past.
She told Now magazine: “My beauty resolution is to tone it down a bit. Sometimes I look at myself and think, ‘Woah there Jess.’ “

The Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has admitted that in the past she’s worn far too much makeup – so now, it’s all about the natural look for her. (Though it’s extremely easy to say you prefer natural beauty when you yourself have one of the most perfect faces in Hollywood, eh Emma?)
Emma said: “The funny thing about me is that I do have a lot of products – I’ve always loved make-up and its ability to transform you. But I don’t actually wear a lot of it, so there is an irony that I own so much of it but wear so little. But I do love beauty products. But wearing too much make-up has been my biggest beauty faux-pas. I truly, truly believe that beauty is something that comes from within. You can only really look beautiful if you feel beautiful on the inside. It shows through your face, the way you move and the way you hold yourself.”
Aww, all together girls – YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
And Emma’s best tip for outer beauty (the inner bit we’ll have to figure out ourselves)? “Don’t over-pluck your eyebrows and always take your make-up off before you got to bed.” Sound advice indeed.

Emma Watson, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways.. We’re super excited because not only did she dazzle us yesterday at the GQ awards in an Alexander McQueen dress, but we’ve also just seen Emma Watson’s new campaign as the face of Lancôme Paris’ new perfume, Trésor Midnight Rose. And she looks like a dream in the advert!
The ad shows our favourite British actress flitting across city streets with her trademark cropped hair, enchanting bookstore clerks in fedora hats and sizzling at night in a mist of Midnight Rose. How very Lancôme. We’re pretty much sold on this perfume already.
You can check out the new ad in the video below – is Emma the perfect Lancôme cover girl or what? Let us know what you think of the new advert by commenting below.

The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford has admitted that while she doesn’t want surgery right now, she wouldn’t rule it out for the future – because she doesn’t want to grow old gracefully. To be honest Frankie, you’re no way near having to worry about surgery…
Frankie said: “I wouldn’t rule cosmetic surgery out. Never say never. I always joke and say I’m not going to grow old gracefully. But you never what you’re going to do.”
Frankie is incredibly slim, but insists that she has the same body issues as any other young woman does.
She said: “It’s the same with any group of mates. You look around and think, ‘She’s got a nice stomach or boobs or bum.’ It’s the same with us. I look at Mollie, who’s got the skinniest, longest legs and I’m like, ‘Argh, you cow.’ I’m not a massive fan of my legs. But Millie is the same about my tummy. You can’t help it. We’ll look at a picture of ourselves and go, ‘Yuck! I look horrible,’ and they all go, ‘What are you talking about? You look gorgeous.’”
Well, we really don’t think the Saturdays have anything to worry about, at ALL. Just keep away from the surgeon’s knife, Frankie – no one wants you to look like Joan Collins.

Victoria Beckham might feel a little out of her comfort zone at the upcoming New York Fashion Week, as a doctor has advised her against wearing her usual high heels at the event for health reasons.
Victoria, who has in the past confessed to not being able to live without her heels, recently suffered a slip disc after giving birth to her new baby girl Harper and has been warned by doctors to avoid stilettos and the like to stop the problem getting worse. But Dr, it’s NEW YORK FASHION WEEK! She can’t wear flats!
A source apparently close to Victoria spoke about the high-heels ban: “Victoria’s not had an easy past few weeks. But she’s a trooper and after getting the all-clear to attend Fashion Week – provided her back doesn’t significantly deteriorate – she has been advised to avoid heels. Although her heel-wearing wasn’t the cause of her back problems, stilettos don’t help her condition. Victoria has been frantically surfing the web for an acceptable pair of flats, ones which don’t make her look like a golf club.”
Mama Beckham isn’t too pleased with the prognosis, having previously expressed her hatred for wearing ballerina flats. She said: “I beyond hate ballerina flats – I can’t even walk in them.” However, she’s sucking it up and focusing on getting better for Harper and the rest of the Beckham clan.
When you get a chance, Posh, you should actually put your feet up – we can’t wait to see the new collection either.

The actress Emma Stone, along with Cowboys and Aliens star Olivia Wilde, is set to become the next global ambassador for the iconic cosmetics brand, Revlon.
You won’t see our favourite American redhead as the face of Revlon until 2012, but when the campaigns finally hit, her face along with Olivia’s will be all over magazines, TV and the internet.
Previous women to have represented Revlon include Kate Moss, Jessica Biel and Halle Berry – so we hope Emma is feeling pretty good about herself right now.
Gucci Westman, the artistic director of Revlon, explained the brand’s new choice of ambassador: “Both embody strength, beauty and femininity. Emma is so classic in a Grace Kelly real movie star way and she is an amazing actress as well. Olivia has the most unbelievably beautiful eyes and she is also cool and intelligent. I cannot wait for everyone to see our new Revlon campaigns.”
Neither can we!

Get ready to say “Awwww”, readers, because the supermodel Miranda Kerr has admitted she thinks that love is the reason behind her beauty. Awwww!
She told Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: “If you have love, first of all love and appreciation for yourself, then you are going to eat healthily and you are going to take care of yourself and exercise. When you do that, you can give so much love to other people because you have the energy to give… That’s what gives me a healthy body and a healthy soul.”
Miranda must have a lot of love in her life at the moment, as she’s recently had her first baby, seven-month old boy Flynn, with the actor and heartthrob Orlando Bloom.
Come on everyone, let’s start loving each other more – if Miranda’s right then perhaps we’ll all start getting modclling jobs with Victoria’s Secret.

As if there wasn’t enough of a media storm around the heiress’ upcoming nuptials as it is, Kim Kardashian has just announced that she is going to be launching a limited edition perfume, Love by Kim Kardashian, to coincide with the big day.
Kim gushed about her new upcoming wedding, “I used to think falling in love was the most incredible feeling, but now I see there’s nothing more special than the enduring beauty of building a life with your other half and watching your love grow, each and every day.”
When we say limited edition we mean really limited – only 1000 bottles have been made for public sale, with Kim keeping her own personal bottle to wear on her wedding day. So if you want to have an expensive keepsake of this silly but amazingly entertaining day, you’ll need to get in there quick.

The diminutive and amazing Lea Michele, the actress who plays bossypants wannabe starlet Rachel in “Glee”, has revealed that she was urged in the past to have plastic surgery in order to get work.
Lea, who in the past has been teased and criticised about her au naturel nose, spoke out about the pressure to lose her quirky looks. “I’m five foot three. I don’t look like a lot of other people. I look like I’m 12. Managers told me, ‘Get a nose job. You are not pretty enough’. But I proved them wrong.”
Keep your chin up Lea – when in doubt, just close your eyes and think of Barbara Streisland. We love you!
