Pucker Up With Orange Lips

Lipstick is back for Spring/Summer and if the catwalks are anything to go by, the brighter, the better!

Prada sent their models down the catwalk with bright orange lips and it’s a trend that the celebs have quickly latched onto. We’ve spotted fashion forward celebs such as Agyness Deyn and Scarlett Johansson both rocking an orange lip – proving that it is a colour that suits everyone.

To wear it the Prada way, your lips must be uber bright and matte. Our favourite shade for this is Morange from Mac (£12.50). If you’re going mega bright, make sure your eyes are simple and understated – you want your lips to do all the talking with this look.

For a daytime look, try a soft coral shade such as Revlon’s Superlustrous Lipstick in Kiss Me Coral (£7.29). This can still have impact, without being too in your face. And if you’re too nervous to take the orange plunge totally, why not try an orange lipgloss like Bloom’s Tangerine (£12), which is a favourite with our favourite pop princess, Kylie.

Orange lips look just as good with a tan as they do on fairer skin – just play around until you find the right shade for you. And as with all bright lippie, make sure your lips are buffed and polished to perfection as bright colours show up any flaws.

L-R: Morange by MAC, £12.50; Kiss Me Coral by Revlon, £7.29; Tangerine gloss by Bloom, £12

Get Cheryl Cole’s Lashes

Here at Westfield HQ, we’ve always had a soft spot for Cheryl Cole, especially her immaculate make-up. This is one girl you can’t imagine going barefaced in the gym! She does the smokey eye and nude lips look really well and now we’ve discovered the secret behind her gorgeous lashes – L’Oreal’s Telescopic Mascara.

Yes, for just £9.99 you too could have lashes as flutterable as Cheryl’s! She said of the mascara ‘I discovered it one day and that was me sold. If I get my hair and make-up done, my eyelashes and eye brows are two things I always do myself’.

So, we’re sure that Cheryl will be dashing to the shops to snap up L’Oreal’s latest wonder mascara, Telescopic Explosion – well actually as she’s the face of L’Oreal, she’ll probably get it for free, but we’re sure she’s going to love it still!

It has all the attributes of the regular Telescopic Mascara but comes with a small, globe-like wand, which allows you to get into the corners easily and ensure your lashes are truly gorgeous all over. Snap it up now for £9.99 from Boots, Superdrug and all good beauty counters to give your peepers the Cheryl Cole treatment.

The Hottest Beauty Trends For 2010

Being such fashion forward types, we’re already thinking about Spring/Summer and what will be in vogue – well, it beats being cold and miserable!

If you’re too nervous to try next season’s fashion treats already though, why not dip your toe into Spring/Summer 2010 with some simple beauty updates? We’ve found our favourite looks from the catwalk shows, which will mean you’re one step ahead of the beauty pack.

First up is luminous skin. Great skin is something that never goes out of fashion but it appeared on several catwalk shows including the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer show. British make-up artist Pat McGrath created the glowing looks with CoverGirl cosmetics (not available in the UK) but we love MAC’s Strobe Liquid (£21) for that healthy, gorgeous glow.

To go with that glow, the big beauty trend for Spring/Summer is natural lipstick, as seen on the models at the Caroline Herrera show. We love L’Oreal’s Made For Me Natural range – it has a shade of nude suitable for every skin type, and is available from both Superdrug and Boots.

At the other extreme of the make-up scale, we’ll be sporting pink eye shadow as seen at the Galliano and Diane Von Furstenberg shows. It is a trifle scary, especially compared to the natural brown and greys, which have been in vogue for so long, but it definitely helps make a statement. Start off gently and add more colour as your confidence grows! Our favourite shade is Urban Decay’s Hot Pink (£13.50), available to buy from House Of Fraser.

Of course, beauty isn’t just about the face. There were lots of complicated up-dos and braids on the Spring/Summer catwalk, but our favourite hair trend is possibly also the easiest – and great for all hair lengths. Marios Schwab sent his models down the runway with slicked back hair, creating a strong, simple style. To achieve this look, choose a shine infused product such as MOP’s Glisten high shine pomade, £10.95, from Debenhams. A good comb is also essential for this look – we like Boots Salon Performance Tail Comb, a bargain at £2.10.

Finally, if you’re looking for a way to add a touch of glamour to your look, why not try some nail art? It’s huge with celebrities such as Katy Perry and Rihanna and is a great way to stand out from the crowd. If you can’t afford a trip to a nail bar such as Wah Nails, then do-it-yourself with these fabulous nail art stickers, £2.99 from Boots. Just stick on and go!
