Trend setting - Red carpet glamour

It's that time of year again where the glitz and glamour comes out and the stars shine like there's no tomorrow.  Awards season always brings out the best (or worst!) in people but these red-hot looks can be recreated so your make-up looks nothing short of glamorous, worthy of any star...

 

Gorgeous skin

Stars spend weeks prepping themselves under expert hands in the run up to award nights, so by the time they are strutting their stuff on the crimson carpet, there's not a dull cell in sight. Buff up with a professional, at-home microdermabrasion kit to clear skin into a polished sheen. L'Oréal Paris ReFinish Micro-Dermabrasion Kit, £14.99 is perfect for giving skin back its radiance and lustre with aluminium oxide micro-crystals (used in salons) to refine and re-texture skin. To stop the threat of a dreaded spot before such a special occasion, try a pre-cleansing pad from Garnier. Garnier Pure Daily Purifying Pads, £4.99 contain zinc, eucalyptus and salicylic acid which act quickly to target and banish imperfections.

 

Body beautiful

All those beautiful skin-revealing gowns require shining, glowing limbs. Yes, those limbs that have been hidden away for the last few winter months can look gorgeous again. If dry and sensitive skin has been your demon, get the silkiness back with the new BodySensitive Anti-Dryness Restorative Moisturiser, £3.99 from Garnier, specifically formulated to nourish dry and sensitive skin. If skin is missing a little glow, give it a little glimmering lift with Sublime Bronze Multi-Position Body Spray, £10.99 from L'Oréal Paris. It's one of those fine sprays that reach all those hard to get areas so there's no tell-tale signs showing in the spotlight.

 

Show-stopping make-up

The red-carpet is awash now with variations on the classic Hollywood look, think eye-lined eyes and red lips, is still the biggest winner on the walkway...  

 

Face

A seamless, flawless face is a must and with all the papping and parties, foundation and concealer have to last the night long. Hide imperfections with a fool-proof cover-up such as Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Concealer, £5.99 which has a gorgeous mousse texture to blend easily into skin and follow with a long lasting foundation like L'Oréal Paris Infallible, £10.99 which will keep sweaty break-outs at bay and stay put for up to 16 hours.

 

Eyes

Create a dreamy, Hollywood presence by giving eyes the A-list attention they deserve. Draw a sophisticated feline flick with a long-lasting liquid liner such as the new Superliner Liquid Liner from L'Oréal Paris, £5.99. It's precise and un-smudgable so expect maximum sex appeal and wow-factor. Follow with lashing of mascara to really bring eyes into the spotlight - the new XXL CurlPower Mascara from Maybelline New York, £8.99 will undoubtedly do the trick giving lashes that extra red-carpet mile.

 

Shimmer and shine

To glimmer under the spot light, use fine glitters and iridescent powders to bring out the star in you. Try the new Color Minerals Eye Shadows from L'Oréal Paris, £7.99 as they contain tiny light-reflecting particles that give a luminous, glowing effect. Dab over eyelids and around the contours of eyes for an extra special touch. Lips should be strong with colour and loaded with shine so try Maybelline New York Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Precious Ruby, £4.99 which won't let lips dry out and will give them fullness and shine.
