Millennials – and young women in particular – have been coined 'Generation Anxious’, so likely are we to suffer with mental health problems. Indeed, one in three of us don’t believe in ourselves,* period. While the dialogue surrounding low confidence and the role of social media is gaining momentum – and rightly so – the stark statistics remain shocking. Which is why Look wants to open up the conversation with a series of special issues that tackle everything from everyday low self-esteem to the broader confidence discussion. We’ll be kicking off a wider campaign too, asking Look experts, Influencers and YOU – the Look audience – to share advice on how you’ve cracked you own personal crises of confidence. It’s our responsibility, to ourselves and to younger generations, to speak…

We know you’ll have problems that can’t be solved by a shopping spree, but in our experience, there’s nothing that makes you feel better than treating yourself to things that make you go 'ooh’. And what wiser investment can you make than something that’ll give you confidence in bucket loads too? Not only is the colour yellow up a whopping 500 per cent in internet searches, it’s also been scientifically proven to make you feel more confident and put you in an off-the-charts good mood – in fact, we can’t think of a single reason why you shouldn’t snap up one of these sunny staples. Wear to a job interview, on a first date, whenever you need a boost, for results that speak for themselves. Amy Schumer? She ain’t got…

“Compliments are basically verbal hugs” Club bathrooms: we huddle around the sinks, gushing over each other’s outfits and exchanging contouring tips. They’ve become the place we give compliments. Imagine: what if we were this kind to each other (and ourselves) all the time? In this week’s Confidence Issue, we’re championing the power of the compliment – and you can get involved too. Despite us Brits being renowned for accepting compliments terribly (the dress was on sale, our good hair day is a total fluke and we definitely didn’t wake up like this), they do make a huge difference to our self-esteem – which is why this week we’re taking to our social media channels to spread the love. Paying compliments forward (AKA passing them on), we’ll be posting as many…

With 563k followers, Alice Liveing, AKA @CleanEatingAlice, is one of the new global ambassadors for Triumph’s TriAction sports bras. We spent the week with her in Verbier to get the goss on the life of a fitness blogger... What’s the secret of your success? ‘I think my personal training clients relate to me because I have empathy: I’ve hit rock bottom and I’ve come back from that and I’m totally honest about it on Instagram.’ Do you feel under pressure to always look good? ‘Yes, I would be a fraud if I said I didn’t. Comparing myself to others gives me that motivation I need to continue.’ What do you love about blogging? ‘I’ve panicked and thought my photography is bad – I only use my iPhone – but now…

“She wants to create a brand – like the Beckhams” Don’t get us wrong, we’re big fans of Liam Payne (although we have been concerned over the number of chains he’s been wearing recently), but since Cheryl gave birth to baby Bear over two months ago, we’ve barely heard a peep out of her. Until now. The 33-year-old has finally spoken out, praising her man’s new single Strip That Down (it’s so damn catchy!), and we’re told it’s just the start of her big comeback. Liam, you can wear her camo trousers as much as you like, hun, but Cheryl will always be the one in charge… 'So proud of you babe,’ she tweeted. 'It’s just the beginning.’ 'Cheryl’s so happy for Liam after an exhausting few months for them…

‘It’s easy to underestimate how far one flattering remark can go. But after a pretty difficult year, I’ve learnt just how much difference the odd compliment can really make to someone’s mood, self-esteem and general wellbeing. Complimenting a friend’s outfit or commenting on a colleague’s new hair might seem easy – effortless, even – but during my lowest days it was these kinds of simple comments that used to give me a boost and get me through. I remember one specific day I came to work feeling awful, having had the worst sleep the night before. After our morning meeting, one of the Look team mentioned that she thought I’d “killed it” in the discussions and it just made me feel so much more confident. Even the simplest of compliments…

'Picnics are good for two things. 1) No mess indoors. 2) They’re way cheaper than eating/drinking out. When you think about that and how affordable it is to deck out your own, it’s a no-brainer. I’d have them every day if I could.’ BRIDIE WILKINS, FASHION NEWS ASSISTANT Life, as they say, is no picnic, which is exactly why we should be having more of them – and what better time than a bank holiday? Put on the perfect alfresco gathering with cosy cushions, classy cups and sweet smellies. Throw in a retro BBQ bucket, classic deckchair and basket big enough for 17 bottles of Prosecco and you’ll be the pro picnic-thrower. Your friends and family will never want to dine indoors again……

Played by David Charvet on TV, the role has now been adopted by Zac Efron, who describes the movie as ‘hilarious’ and ‘like a high-five from the summer’.

“Pals are surprised at Ange’s new bond” It feels like only yesterday that one of Hollywood’s biggest power couples split – and a lot’s happened since last September, when Angelina Jolie 'blindsided’ her partner of 11 years Brad Pitt by filing for divorce and asking for full custody of their six children. Yet despite the obvious strain it’s placed on both parties, we’re told Brad and Ange are on the 'path to recovery’ – and a certain person has been helping them patch things up. A source says: 'It’s been a very difficult few months but Ange is starting to see the positive side… and it’s all thanks to her dad.’ Angelina’s always had a fractious relationship with her father, actor Jon Voight. In 2002, she removed 'Voight’ from her…

The Complexion Saviour MAXINE EGGENBERGER, FASHION NEWS EDITOR ‘After contracting a mass breakout of adult acne two weeks before my wedding (typical), my confidence was at an all-time low. Then I tried Rodial’s Airbrush Concealer, AKA Lifesaver. Its coverage is unrivalled and lasts All. Day. Long. I found my perfect shade, Malibu, and got the smoothest complexion of my life. That was two years ago and it’s been my make-up must-have ever since. If you’ve got a scar or birthmark you want to cover, see p 24 where we’re road-testing the new-gen masking concealers taking the industry by storm.’ Rodial Airbrush Concealer, £32 Superstar Staff VICTORIA ADEGBOYEGA, SENIOR PICTURE RESEARCHER ‘Helpful and happy sales assistants are pretty hard to come by, but those at River Island are one of a…

Set Your Own Rules ‘I just don’t like the “plus-size” term and the way it segregates people. As a tall girl I feel like a giant, but it’s a different type of plus-size. I don’t want girls to look at my body and be like: “If she’s plus-size, then what does that make me?”’ BE REAL ‘Social media really lets you show your true self, and people will like and respond to that.’ Beat The Body Shamers ‘Why did we dismiss a bunch of women over the last 20 years? My childhood was spent looking at super-skinny models. Now I’m glad there are models of all sizes.’ SCREW THE LABELS ‘I understand it’s hard to buy fashion if you’re not shaped like the clothes are – I just wish they’d…

It matches my skintone and doesn’t go patchy by late afternoon. @perditanouril Topshop Bronzer in Holidaze, £9 I use this on my face for a bit of extra shimmer and glow after being on holiday.

Chances are you’ve been to Northern Ireland. You might even live there. If that’s the case, you’ll have to excuse my naive enthusiasm, but I’ve enjoyed my first visit only recently. I can’t wait to go back. My friends and I (there were eight of us in total) decided to enjoy a long weekend without breaking the bank. While I was sceptical that this was even possible, it turns out that the NI coastline has everything you could possibly want – and more. We journeyed to Portrush, a charming coastal town nestled in County Antrim, about an hour and 15 minutes from Belfast. Our bolthole for the weekend was the Portrush Atlantic Hotel, which has spectacular sea views and some of the friendliest staff you’ll find – possibly ever. The…

In cinemas 25 May WE CAN’T BELIEVE… Everyone is slating Becks’ acting in King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword. David was criticised for his cameo in the film, with viewers comparing his acting to wife Victoria’s singing (bit harsh!). However, one person who wasn’t disappointed withhis performance was producerGuy Ritchie, who described David as a ‘talented actor’ who was ‘very confident on camera’. The film also stars Charlie Hunnam…
