I’ve always been obsessed with eyeshadow, lipstick, skincare and getting my hair just so, but as far as being an expert goes, I’ve never thought of myself as one. Given, however, that beauty has become a huge part of our lives, we’ve all become specialists in our own right. You don’t need a master’s in make-up to know if a palette has stay-put power or amazing pigments. In fact, I value my friends’ opinions as much as top make-up artists, and I’ll always consult them before buying into the new It product. Why? For totally genuine feedback. Which is exactly why Look’s Beauty Awards was born. With a soft launch last year, it’s back for 2017 on a whole new level. We, along with some of the most recognisable faces…

Once upon a time, Taylor Swift was gazing from a balcony, singing Love Story in a satin gown. That was then, this is now – and from ball gown to naked bodysuit, it’s fair to say the past 10 years have been drama-filled. Which could explain why Taylor’s pulled no punches in her new album, Reputation. We love a good revenge track, but we’re worried about Tay – and we’re not alone. According to a source, friends, and even boyfriend Joe Alwyn, are said to have sat Taylor down for a chat after her out-of character behaviour – and the backlash she’s been receiving. Tay’s new album (out on Friday 10 November), will include already- released tracks Look What You Made Me Do, …Ready For It and Gorgeous (which reached…

Gigi Hadid is the most Googled model in the world. Fact. On top of that, guess what’s the most-searched-for term? ‘Gigi Hadid make-up.’ So it’s no surprise really that Gigi is branching out with her own make-up range. Behind the scenes, Gi’s been working with Maybelline, creating a collection crammed full of all the beauty booty she uses every day – and after years in the making, it’s finally launched. There are two separate collections that reflect Gigi’s different styles. ‘East Coast Glam’ features everything you’d ever need to create that New York City chic look. While ‘West Coast Glow’ offers bolder lip colours and shimmering highlighters for Gigi’s cool, LA-girl vibe. We’re loving… THE LOOK BEAUTY TEAM’S MUST-HAVE EDIT GIGI SAYS: “It literally glows the…

“Embroidery is here to stay, and what better way to update it than with a double dose. Go for contrasting fabrics, like leather and velvet, and choose different pattern styles. Mixing and matching like this is the way to do prints this season.” “Colour is everything in the colder months. It’s all too easy to fall into the black-and-white groove, but this yellow jumper changes everything. Just keep the neon hue chic with darker bottoms and cover-ups, and you’re good to go.” “Nothing says glam like a bit of faux fur – it was all over the AW17 catwalks, and the fabric will keep you warm on even the coldest days. Wearing this coat means I can get away with bare legs for a while longer. Winning.”…

What’s it about? The real-life backstory to how Harvard psychologist Dr William Moulton Marston created Wonder Woman. With the comic book being inspired by his polyamorous relationship with wife Elizabeth and lover Olive (whose feminist principles and personalities were a huge part of Wonder Woman’s character), the film follows Dr Marston and the controversy surrounding his Wonder Woman creation. Who’s in it? Beauty And The Beast’s Luke Evans stars as Dr Marston, alongside Rebecca Hall as Elizabeth, and Bella Heathcote as Olive. Nashville star Connie Britton also features. Why should I care? It’s a real eye-opener into how the iconic Wonder Woman character was created and how it caused so much furore in 1940s America. Plus, leading ladies Rebecca and Bella are incredible, as is Luke. Out 10 November Verdict:…

Found! 22 treats we need in our lives! 1 STAR BUY OF THE WEEK It’s rare to find three trends in one without the item looking a tad OTT.

“Rihanna is done with any negativity in her life” After landing herself a billionaire boyfriend and taking over the beauty industry with her new kick-ass brand Fenty Beauty, we’re not hugely surprised Rihanna has decided it’s time for a fresh start. And, by fresh start, we mean shutting out ex-boyfriends Drake and Chris Brown once and for all. The singing superstar reportedly refused to go to Drake’s massive 31st birthday bash recently – despite years of ‘are they, aren’t they?’ shenanigans. And she’s also told friends she won’t let her other pesky ex Chris Brown upset her with his recently released album containing some rather unsettling new song lyrics. ‘Chris is saying very graphic things about ex-lovers in his lyrics,which tracks back to Rihanna,’ a source close to the star…

Handily, the high street is filled with dreamy styles – from the softest leather bikers, to this season’s must-have, the aviator – and we have the lowdown on everything you need to keep looking hot and stay toasty… SARAH-ROSE HARRISON, ACTING SENIOR FASHION ASSISTANT @sarahrosegoes ‘There’s something quite special about the pea coat. A long-term favourite of mine, it ticks all the boxes when it comes to buying my new season coat. Double-breasted, luxe buttons and a tailored edge means it suits all who wear it.’ CHLOE BURCHAM, DEPUTY BEAUTY EDITOR @chloeburcham ‘Everyone…

Between the return of cord, cashmere and the teddy coat, it’s clear that being cosy is top of the fashion formula this season. The latest trend is no exception: chenille. It’s the velvety yarn that comes weaved or knitted, and while you probably know it best in jumper form, autumn/ winter offers up a whole load of shapes and styles. We’re talking dresses, roll necks, scarves – the lot. But what does the Look team really think of this retro fabric revival? Acting Editor Maxine Eggenberger says: ‘Yes, yes, yes! It’s the new velvet – the sort of fabric you can dress up with a vinyl mini skirt after dark, or stay caj with jeans during the day. I’m so glad it’s back.’ Acting Deputy Editor Giselle Wainwright isn’t so…

At 31 years old, Irina Shayk is at the top of her game. The Russian model has dominated the industry since first making her debut in Sports Illustrated in 2007 – the very same year she became the face of Intimissimi lingerie and the reason she’s talking to us today. Ten years on, Irina is starring in the brand’s new catalogue, The Intimissimi Every Wear Book – a guide on all the brand’s basic garments. On top of professional success, she’s now happily settled with actor Bradley Cooper, 42 , and the pair welcomed their first child in March this year, daughter Lea – something Irina is obviously very happy about, admitting she has ‘the best family in the world’. Catching up with Irina in-between shoots, she revealed her…

‘A classic black heel will always look fabulous!’ KIMBERLEY WALSH Party season is literally around the corner, and we’re getting ready to up the style ante – but instead of relying on the trusty LBD for festive nights out, we’re channelling all things edgy with pieces from Matalan’s gorgeous new Le Noir range.

Four Is the average number of days Brits take off work after a break-up, according to a recent survey by dating app TrueView. The research also revealed women take off slightly less time than men (3.5 days, as opposed to 4.1).

There’s always a bit of debate when it comes to coloured mascara. Is it actually wearable or borderline bonkers? We were sceptical, until we saw it on the Stella McCartney catwalk. Now, Pinterest reports a 234% spike in searches, proving this peeper vibe is back on top. Unsure how to wear it IRL? Keep your base glowy and brows unruly for the most modern look. Scared of looking extra? Coat top lashes in black and save blue mascara for bottom lashes. Or for the most wearable hint of azure, layer blue on top of black mascara, so you get a flash of colour when they catch the light.…

Another day, another colour trend, right? We hear you. It does feel a little overwhelming: just when you get on board with red, there’s another shade to get your head around. Believe us when we say, however, that this one’s too good to ignore. If you’re stuck in a rut when it comes to making your seasonal wardrobe switchover, let this be your entry point. Along with muted checks and leather, caramel has fast become one of the chicest (and most wearable) trends of autumn. Essentially, this is fashion’s update on your much-loved caj camel, only this hue is so much richer. Needless to say, we’re taking our cues from the street-style set and embracing tonal toffee as our new base colour. Aside from the fact it suits all skin…

“Too cold to go out? Totally OK to cancel” 1 ’GRAMMABLE DRINKS While pumpkin-spiced everything has totally taken over America, it’s still a relatively new thing here. Autumn in a cup. 2 DRESSING DOWN It’s acceptable to change into your PJs the second you get in from work. The whole point of this season, if you ask us. 3 COATS ON As if we haven’t given you enough inspiration, you can seriously up your outfit game by just slinging one on. 4 CARB-LOADING No one can judge you for eating an entire mac ’n’ cheese with a spoon. You need that extra layer! 5 WINTER CANDLES Burning your favourite candle gets evenbetter at this time of year. Light up your cinnamon spice votive and make…

‘These natural crates from Very.co.uk are ideal for storing all my hair products and tools. They look great and keep my room nice and tidy!’CHLOE BURCHAM, DEPUTY BEAUTY EDITOR Few things get us out of bed on a Sunday morning – a bottomless brunch with friends is one, and a visit to the local farmers’ market the other. Honestly, where else can you stroll around eating nine different cheese samples and pick up a new French-style linen tablecloth? Don’t have a farmers’ market nearby? No worries, the high street is your answer, and these rustic gems are an easy way to bring a bit of countryside chic into your pad.…
