It’s healthy to take a step back to look at your life, and that’s something I’ve done a lot of recently as my time as Look’s Acting Editor draws to a close. Taking in all I’ve accomplished over the last ten months, one thing is apparent: I wouldn’t be where I am today without the amazing women I’m surrounded by on a daily basis. Of course, there are exceptional men, too (shout out to Look’s Dan and Stu), but for the sake of continuity, let’s stick with the girls. There are my impossibly talented colleagues who, even amidst my extraordinary levels of indecisiveness, still get the job done on deadline. Then there are my biggest cheerleaders, my friends. And, of course, there’s Mum. I won’t get all soppy on you,…

sitting opposite Fearne Cotton after a long day of shooting her new Garnier campaign, the 36 year old is spilling the beans on family life with her partner, musician Jesse Wood, 41. It’s clear Fearne is mega busy. After this, she’ll be picking up five-year-old son Rex from school and tending to daughter Honey, two. She tells us she wants to be present in her kids’ lives, which means making them a priority above everything, and that often means seeing her own mum a little less than she’d like. Today we’re catching up with Fearne to get the lowdown on her #mASKmum campaign for Mother’s Day. To celebrate Garnier’s new sheet mask, the presenter and author has been asking her mum some hilarious (and also sometimes awks) questions she’s always…

“Cheryl’s working out who her friends are and who she can trust” Arriving at the BRITs last week, arm in arm, Cheryl and boyfriend Liam Payne were the picture perfect couple. Smiling and laughing, they appeared to squash any rumours of relationship woes. But sources say that behind closed doors things aren’t so rosy, as the pair are reportedly going through a rough patch (which is normal for any relationship, right?). Most of us (celeb or not) would rather keep personal matters private, which is why Cheryl, 34, is said to be fuming that this information was leaked. ‘I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t trust anybody in my life except my mother and my dogs,’ she said in a previous interview. ‘Cheryl thinks she knows who’s been leaking…

The most coveted beauty collections have all looked to the glittering Mediterranean coast for their SS18 inspiration. From the sweet-smelling scent of Sicily to Neapolitan-inspired nail polishes, here’s our edit of the best Italian-influenced beauty products to shop right now.

No longer reserved for crockery, vases and decorative plates, this traditional motif is as pretty as they come, and has long been adored by the street style set. For a season-long investment, snap up this Studio by Preen dress – from weddings to summer BBQs, it’ll fast become your go-to frock. For more chill occasions, rock Topshop’s printed mini with tan accessories and a white tee. Really the only thing to steer clear from is pastel hues, or else you run the risk of looking like a cake stand (albeit a chic one).…

Mama, where do I even begin? You’re my rock, my muse, my best friend. You’ve dried my tears more times than any parent should have to and, during the darkest times, you’ve always been my light. You’ve rebuilt me piece by piece. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it weren’t for you. I love you, in spite of your daily 8.15am phone calls. Thank you. x Maxine Eggenberger Look’s Acting Editor Dear Mum, You are one of the strongest, kindest and funniest women I know. You have always been so encouraging and supportive of everything I’ve done, even when at times you might not have agreed with me. I don’t think I would be half the person I am today without you as my mum. You’ve…

MOLLIE KING Topshop She’s a huge fan of teaming affordable finds with high-end hero pieces, but it’s Topshop that Mollie’s gone mad for of late. Choose girly prints like Mollie for instant cool-girl points. OLIVIA PALERMO Zara Only the best is good enough for OP, and that includes Spanish outfitter Zara. She’s been the brand’s unofficial mascot for as long as we can remember, and there’s no sign of the relationship abating any time soon… LUCY WATSON New Look Lucy has stepped out in high street stalwart New Look five times in the last two months.

Maybelline The Colossal Big Shot Mascara, £7.99 ‘I’m not a fan of wearing false lashes, so I need a wand that will give me dramatic volume. This is my go-to mascara for big, fluffy, fanned-out lashes. It’s amazing!’ @rosiefortescue L’Oréal Paris False Lash Superstar Mascara, £11.99 ‘I’ve used this mascara ever since spotting it in a make-up artist’s kit at Fashion Week. The white primer side gives your lashes mega volume and length, and it never smudges or clumps.’ @harriet.davey IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara, £19 ‘Without fail, every time I wear this mascara, people ask me if I’ve got lash extensions. It fans out, lengthens and volumises lashes – leaving them looking fluffy and full.’ @chloeburcham Beauty Pie Über Volume Boost Mascara, £20 (£2.34 for Beauty Pie members) ‘This mascara…

Making Scents National Fragrance Week is upon us (5-11 March), and while we shouldn’t need a reason to splash out on ourselves, recent studies show that a new scent will boost your mood. The perfect antidote to cold weather. High Street Bride Emily Ratajkowski caused a little bit of a stir when she revealed her surprise nuptials with partner of just a couple of months, Sebastian Bear-McClard, and even more so when she wed in a Zara suit. That’s still available. Bless you, Em. Kate The Pro It can’t be easy being heavily pregnant, having to attend all these events and looking great while doing so. Go Kate for handling it like a pro – oh, and for pledging support to nurses and midwives everywhere. Gal Power! Those fashion girl…

The most recent Global Gender Gap Report predicts that we’ll see gender equality in roughly 200 years time. Er, not good enough. As for make-up, it’s a woman’s right, and on this International Women’s Day, you can take part (no placard required) by purchasing a product from one of these brands, all of which promise to give back to their chosen women’s charity. Plus, you get to treat yourself at the same time. You deserve it! SISTER & CO. SKIN FOOD You might not know about them, but this up-and-coming natural beauty brand is taking part in a big way. During the month of March, any purchase you make will see 10 per cent donated to Solace Women’s Aid, a domestic violence charity that protects and supports women and children…

It’s no secret that we adore Copenhagen-born brand Ganni. Founded in 2000, its meteoric rise to sartorial stardom has accelerated in recent years, thanks in no small part to its legion of loyal, social media-using fans. Think Lucy Williams and Leandra Medine, and you’re on the right track. And now, it’s a fashion force to be reckoned with. The only downside for us is the cost. While it’s marginally more affordable than most designer names, Ganni’s creations – bar perhaps its iconic printed tees – often command three figures. Which is doable every once in a while but, when you’re like us and you want everything it has to offer, it’s just not feasible. Enter the high street, which has taken inspiration from Ganni’s latest wares to inform its own…

Scandinavia is style’s biggest secret. Fact. We’d bet an apple danish on the fact that your girl crushes wear a lot of pieces from Scandi brands. Indeed, there’s a load of existing labels on the market, but this month marks the release of some hot new players. Enter Debenhams. For SS18, the department store has tapped five premium Nordic brands: Lollys Laundry, Moves, mbyM, Six Ames and Stella Nova – featuring everything from feminine frills and dramatic drop waists, to crisp cuts and soft silhouettes. Mix and match tops and bottoms from the different ranges, or handpick your fave pieces and accessorise with minimalist bags and shoes to stay Scandi cool. The overriding principle is simple: understated luxury at affordable prices. All that and our word that you’ll look just…

“A GOOD SKINCARE ROUTINE SHOULD BE EASY AND EFFECTIVE” MAXINE EGGENBERGER - ACTING EDITOR When it comes to skincare, it’s all too easy to become bamboozled by which beauty products to use. Between saviour serums, aggressive peel solutions and the new super-hyped facial fads, we’re often left scratching our heads about which cleansing routine to try next. ‘A good skincare routine should be easy and effective,’ says Look Acting Editor Maxine Eggenberger. ‘Making sure your face is clean, fresh and make-up free at the end of every day shouldn’t be hard work. I want my regime to be fast and kind to my skin. Why waste time and money on complicated skincare?’ And the beauty heroes Maxine swears by to keep her skin cleansed, glowing and in tip-top condition…

1 SPEND MONEY (BUT BE SELECTIVE)  According to a study in psychological science, those who spend their money on doingthings – aka experiences, rather than material purchases – reap greater happiness. Apparently, it’s all to do with anticipation. Basically, we get a mega buzz from just looking forward to a holiday, for example. 2 GET OUTSIDE We know it’s hard to face going outside in this weather, but try popping out for at least 20 minutes on your lunch break. The University of Illinois found that spending 20 minutes each day outside (in good weather) is said to boost a positive mood, improve memory and broaden thinking. Not only will it up your vitamin D intake, it’s also said to lower stress levels. 3 SLEEP IS KEY  A survey by…

NEWSFLASH! Netflix will launch new documentary Ladies First on International Women’s Day (8 March). It’s the story of archer Deepika Kumari, who after a difficult childhood fights to become the first Indian woman to win an Olympic gold medal. What’s the story? Harold Soyinka is an American pharmaceutical businessman, who heads to Mexico to deliver the formula for a medical marijuana pill. When he ends up being kidnapped by a cartel and ordered to pay a ransom, his bosses have other plans to get him out. Who’s in it? Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried and Thandie Newton are the leading ladies, with David Oyelowo playing Harold. Joel Edgerton also stars. Why should I care? It’s not like anything you’ve seen before, and we love seeing Charlize Theron play a badass. Out…
