Not just because it’s Look’s Make-Up Special. Honest. Look is obsessed with make-up all day, every day. And this week we’ve rounded up the key buys guaranteed to make us feel brilliant. Top of the list is No7’s Airbrush Away Sheer Finish Foundation – to paraphrase Gabrielle, proof that dreams do come true. Part primer, part foundation, it offers all the coverage of a foundation but with a soft, veil-like finish – it’s like Tinker Bell has lightly pirouetted it into your skin. No7 say: 'The easily blendable foundation is so light you’ll forget it’s there.’ We say: 'True. Until you catch your reflection in the nearest mirror/shop window/spoon and note how damn good you look today!’ Available in Light, Medium and Dark, the range covers the 20 skincare shades…

“Liam has been giving all his time to Cheryl” We’re made up for Cheryl and Liam Payne, who became first-time parents on 22 March. Since then, many famous friends have taken to social media to congratulate Chiam on their as yet nameless new arrival, with Cheryl’s Girls Aloud bandmates among them. But we can’t say the same for 1D. Despite being online, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson are yet to publicly send their best wishes to bandmate Liam, 23. And the fans have noticed, with Twitter comments like: 'It’s Cheryl’s fault,’ surfacing. 'Liam wants to be a really hands-on dad,’ says our source. 'But the backlash has hurt and made him question why his bandmates haven’t been more supportive.’ It may have more to do with clashing schedules.…

Six months of hibernation down, and our summer social calendars are filling up. Garden parties, picnics and weddings are all on the horizon and along with this comes outfit planning. Cue River Island. The high street hotspot plays host to everything from active to loungewear, but its latest occasionwear collection is where it’s at. A-line midi dresses lend themselves to more formal affairs, while bohemian maxis make for the perfect Sunday get-up. The drop caters for all shapes and sizes, too; high necks conceal heavy chests while cap sleeves balance out broad shoulders. But the real show-stealer? That whimsical white creation worthy of the most fashion-forward bride. Suddenly, marriage is way more appealing. We do, River Island, we do.…

Much like Trekkies and LOTR obsessives, fashionistas too have their own unique language that, to the untrained ear, likely sounds like gibberish. From the shacket (fashion speak for a shirt-jacket) and culeans (culotte-style jeans) to greige (a shade that sits somewhere between grey and beige on the colour wheel) and athleisure (a sporty way of dressing), the industry has created what might be the most complex method of communication since Latin. We are, of course, kidding but the fact that people live their lives wardrobes by these words is no laughing matter. And now, following in the Stan Smiths of the much-mocked 'normcore’ comes 'steeze’. Indeed, it may sound like a sexually transmitted infection (it’s not) but it actually refers to, well, what we’re guessing you’re currently wearing. An abbreviation…

Scandi label Lindex has long been on our rail-raiding radar (it is Scandi, after all), but its latest partywear collection trumps all previous offerings. In celebration of the launch, the brains behind the brand hosted a star-studded soirée and Look was lucky enough to be a part of it. Yep, we headed to Soho Farmhouse with some of our Look Influencer BFFs to road test the range and, boy, were we impressed. Think pretty pastels, boyish blazers and ladylike pleats. Basically, it’s got something to suit everyone, and every occasion for that matter. The best part? We’re giving you 30 per cent off the LOT. How’s that for VIP treatment? LOOK INFLUENCERS LOVE LINDEX SHARE THE LOVE Have a friend who loves Lindex too? Snap and share this…

‘The thing is, I hate walking anywhere, even to the end of the street. But lately, things have got a bit out of hand. An event after work? I’ll get a cab (so I have time to do my make-up, obvs.) Late- night wine-drinking with friends? It’s hard to get transport at this time – I’ll get a cab. I didn’t think it was much of an issue until my boss uttered: “You got a taxi to work?!” I was running late and it was a Friday. Thank goodness I didn’t tell her I do it every Friday. (Sorry, Gilly.) But now I’ve spoken to Mo, I’m following her steps and realising that if I ever want to own anything, I need to cut it down. In the past month,…

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in The Dolce Vita, £39 Charlotte Tilbury’s colour-coded palettes boast the highest concentration of pigments of any eyeshadow I’ve used. I get colour, shimmer and staying power. Perfect for busy bees. @gillyferg Shu Uemura Pressed Eye Shadow, £11 This stuff is magic dust. The silky texture and high-shine pigment really pack a punch – I like to add it on top of my normal eyeshadow to take my look from day to night. @kirstymckenz Kiko Water Eyeshadow in Light Gold, £8.90 This is my ultimate. It goes on like a gel but it’s actually a powder. I use it with a damp brush and it leaves a really high-impact gold that stands out and lasts all night long. @gisellelikes MAC Eyeshadow in Gorgeous Gold, £13.50 The…

WATERIN Don’t miss the headline act just because you’re dehydrated. Standing in the sun all day while sipping cider is bound to bring on a dehydration headache. This handy app reminds you when to top up on water and how often, even sending alerts to your phone. FIRST AID BY RED CROSS Fingers crossed no one does any damage, but just in case, this app is a useful reminder of the first aid basics. You’ll thank us should anything actually happen.

This app helps you work out exactly how your battery life is being distributed, how many photos you can take etc. GLYMPSE…

Cruise Control I’ll admit, I’ve never wanted to go on a cruise. All the same people every day? All that sun-lounger hogging and set times for activities? Urgh. So you can imagine that I was more than dubious about accepting an invite onboard the 3,934-strong Carnival Vista cruise liner sailing from Miami. But I was happily surprised to bust some common cruise myths… MYTH: YOU’LL GET SEASICK FACT: You can feel the boat moving, but it’s not that bad. We had good weather for our trip but on windy nights, you could feel it more. MYTH: IT’S JUNK FOOD ONLY FACT: There’s a dangerous (and delicious) 24 hr pizza place, and burgers too. But there’s also a luxe salad bar and you can seek out healthier options in the main…

We live in a time where shopping has (much to the disdain of our bank accounts) never been easier. Thanks to the smartphone epidemic, e-tailers have had to simplify the online buying process to an average of 3.5 clicks before that dress/bag/shoes/toaster/computer/car (!!!) you’ve had your eye on is added to your basket. And now, Zara has made it even easier to shop by tagging its items with hashtags in an attempt to link up the Instagram-to-shop experience. So, what to buy this week? Here’s what Zara suggests… BELLA’S LEGGINGS The youngest Hadid sister has more outfit game than most of us put together (as you’d expect from an A-lister, TBH). Take Bella’s latest look as a case in point. But what’s with the padded crotch? Was she going spinning?…

WHAT’S NOT JELLY BAGS North’s £ 4 k Fendi bag. Cute? Yes. But COME. ON. ALREADY! (Yes, we’re jealous.) FUR POOL SLIDES So hot for SS 17 . So soggy when worn by an actual pool, non? Love ’em? See p 29 . EMOJI MASKS As brought to you by Petite Amie Skincare, £8. Look’s not convinced. WHAT’S HOT YARS NARS! Whether the sun’s got her hat on or not, NARS Laguna Body Tint, £ 30 , is worth 100 golden nuggets. Out 1 May. RAY-BAN The iconic ‘Meteor’ style is back for May, available in three colourways. Look is positively giddy already. THIS BAG Looks superspenny, but costs like Zara. Wear with pride. Then party like it’s £ 17.99 .…

“Brad and Sienna get along very well” When Look heard that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were back on speaking terms last month, we were chuffed. But this is Hollywood – and a lot can happen in a fortnight. This week, Sienna Miller was pulled into their drama when she was forced to deny rumours of a romance with Brad. 'I’m not going to even dignify it with a response. It’s predictable and silly,’ she told reporters. So what’s going on? It was over a year ago when 53-year-old Brad and Sienna, 35, started working together on new film The Lost City Of Z, out now. But rumours resurfaced after they were spotted 'flirting’ at a private cast dinner last week. According to a close pal, the colleagues [Brad’s an…

Oh Vic, haven’t we seen that one before? When we saw pics of Victoria Beckham recycling not one but six of her fave outfits, we were surprised. But wait – has she started a new trend, or did she just miss the don’t-wear-thesame-outfit-twice memo? Come on babes, haven’t you got a whole Target collection to choose from? Proof at last that VB is human, just like us.…

Forget underwear – it’s denim that’s a basic human right. Whether you’re on the train, in the pub or out for dinner, take a moment to scan the crowd and we guarantee at least 85 per cent of people will be wearing a pair of jeans. Yes, we too are guilty of pulling them on without a second thought; after all, nothing else looks as good with a plain tee and trainers/ankleboots/high heels. But should you wish to banish your blend-in blues for something more standout, look no further. Pastel denim is all the rage right now, giving our Insta feeds a dose of My Little Pony-worthy colour. With hues of yellow, pink and purple reigning supreme, these buys bear a striking resemblance to the Mini Eggs we gorged on…

Meeting and partying with my all-time favourite Victoria’s Secret model is a bit of a dream come true, so when I was invited to join Maybelline ambassador Adriana Lima on a big night out, I jumped at the chance. The 35-year-old Brazilian is stunning (duh), and as soon as I arrive at her swanky London penthouse, she’s dishing out compliments to me. It’s all very effortless, both gushing about each other’s outfits, dancing around to her fave 'getting ready’ song Drinkiee (it’s Brazilian). For a superstar who’s been a VS model since 1999, she’s very relaxed and we’re soon raiding each other’s make-up bags while I try and gauge how to get her flawless complexion. Luckily, she doesn’t mind sharing a few of her secrets… Hi Adriana! So are you…

Daisie Smith, beauty blogger and Look Influencer ‘One thing I’ve learnt over the years is to BLEND! You can have all the make-up in the world, but if it’s not properly blended it’ll never look flawless. My Beauty Blender [£16] is my beauty best friend – it’s the perfect tool to blend my make-up flawlessly. How I wish I knew about these magic sponges when I was younger!’ Charlotte Tilbury, celebrity make -up artist ‘The most important thing when choosing the right shade of foundation is to test out the colour in a natural light to get your perfect match. If the light is too dark, it’s likely your foundation will be too dark. And if you forget to blend in properly, you get the dreaded “tidemark” along the jawline.…

Jen Selter became a huge hit for her 'belfies’ and has turned them into workouts that over 10.8m people follow her for. We ask the 23-year-old New Yorker for her best butt-boosting tips… Jen’s Body Confidence Boosters ‘It’s important to feel good about yourself, and accept that the only approval you need is your own. I saw a noticeable change in my body, I felt good about myself and I wanted to share my progress.’ 1 ‘Think positive thoughts only! Wake up, look in the mirror and compliment yourself on one thing.’ 2 ‘Compliment someone else. The ability to recognise someone else’s great qualities and to let them know can have a ripple effect on how you feel about yourself.’ 3 ‘We have to embrace our flaws and learn to…

“They are committed to a future together” ‘It’s time to say goodbye to my passion project,’ says Meghan Markle on her website The Tig – which, she revealed last week, she’s closed after three years. But while many were shocked, it could be only the start of a series of major life changes that the US actress, 35, will make in the coming months as her relationship with 32-year-old Prince Harry gains pace. Those changes include spending more time in London and getting engaged – and they may, as some speculate, lead to more tiny royal footsteps… Our sources reveal they’re '100 per cent committed’ to a future, with engagement news 'imminent’ – and they’ve discussed children too. Plus Meghan’s reported request for 'looser clothing’ for the next series of…

Like all great stories, this tale takes place in the year 2003. I was a 13-year-old girl who, on the cusp of sartorial understanding, was spending her summer in the exotic, far-flung destination of mainland Spain. With my mum and stepdad. Staying in an apartment with broken air conditioning. What a time it was to be alive. It was the end of our two-week adventure when I, in a frantic daze to spend my remaining euros, went looking for the thing that would make all my friends go 'ooh’ when I returned home cultured, sophisticated and looking baller. That’s when I saw it: a treble clef, floating in the haze of the summer evening. It was the emblem of Stradivarius which, unbeknown to me, was Zara’s sister label. I rushed…

'I’m a zebra convert after locking eyes on this jacquard armchair. I have visions of adding velvet cushions and a pompom-edged throw…’ ERICA DAVIS, LOOK INFLUENCER AND FOUNDER OF THE-EDITED.COM This season, home outfitters have taken inspiration from Africa. From animal prints to tribal art homages and rattan textures, the high street offers must-have buys that are much cheaper than a safari in the Serengeti. Pair with earthy hues for a cohesive feel or, for a modern take, try offsetting the colour palette with a navy-slicked wall and grey sofa – either way, you’ll have the hottest habitat this side of the desert.…
