Mary Kate Olsen
By Becky Taylor
Summer\'s warmer weather brings with it an abundance of new beauty trends to shake up your make-up kit. To give you some inspiration we look to the celebrities working this season\'s hottest new looks so you can re-create the look at home...
1 The new nudes
Bronzer was shoved resolutely to the back of our drawers this season in favour of muted pink shades and lips so pale they blended in with the surrounding skin. Lover of all things goth, Mary Kate Olsen has nailed this trend by blending in plenty of foundation exactly matched to her skin tone, using a foundation brush and painting her lips a glossy nude shade. Mary Kate wouldn\'t be Mary Kate without her trademark black-lined eyes and this look really makes them pop against the plain canvas of her face.

Taylor Momsen
Lips have had a bit of a revival for summer and subtle glosses and balms have been ditched for loud show-stopping fuchsia shades. Gossip girl star Taylor Momsen\'s grungy look is the perfect partner to this trend and her bold lips give her dishevelled image a polished finish without making things look maintained.

3 Bold eyebrows

Jamie Winstone
Bigger, grown-out brows first dominated the catwalks in 2008 but it wasn\'t until 2009 that they really became the focus of summer\'s new beauty trends. From big and bushy to pencil thin, designer eyebrows are a great way of completely transforming your look. Achieving the shape and size you want is much easier than you think with an abundance of eyebrow shadow kits and pencils now available. Jaime Winstone has gone for the overgrown look by shading in between the hairs using a dark pencil and bringing them out past the corners of her eyes.

4 Punk
Drew Barrymore,beauty,trends,No.7
Kate Winslet
This is a look that even the most groomed of girls can pull off with the right tools and plenty of attitude. Unkempt, backcombed hair, dark, blood-red lips and smoky, smudged eyes are key to achieving summer\'s punk look and Drew has got it spot on swapping her usual blow-dried chic \'do for been-out-all-night hair and breaking the age old beauty rule of only playing up the eyes or lips at one time.

5 Lashings of eyelashes

Cheryl Cole
Since the recession hit, sales of false eyelashes on the high street have rocketed and now it seems no night out is complete with the wondrous benefits of a pair of dramatic eye-opening falsies. Cheryl Cole is the queen of false eyelashes, which really emphasise her big brown eyes. She has even had permanent individual lashes fitted so she doesn\'t have to worry about having a set fitted every time she leaves the house.

6 Barely-there make-up
beauty,trends,No.7,Freida Pinto
Freida Pinto
Unlike the new nudes trend, the trick to wearing barely-there make up is to emphasise the features but keep the face looking bare and glowing. Applying foundation with your fingers and sweeping on plenty of liquid highlighter on the apples of the cheeks and in the corners of eyes, makes a great look for day or night. Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto is always careful to keep her make-up to a minimum, which really suits her clear complexion and strong features.

Alesha Dixon
The \'80s came back with a bang this summer and with the faded denim and shoulder pads came an abundance of colour-clashing brights into our make-up palettes. Take a tip out of Alesha Dixon\'s book and find the right shade for your eye colour and skin tone and be bold with thick lines and eye-catching neon brights. Just ensure you stay away from matchy-matchy liner and lips, a definite no-no!

Kate Bosworth
Not for the faint-hearted, vivid red lips and \'40s-inspired impeccably groomed hair is a key look this summer and one favoured by the A-listers on the red carpet. Kate Bosworth works this look to perfection keeping her lips matt and playing down the eye make-up to prevent over-kill.

Mischa Barton
Like a simple black dress, smoky eyes will never go out of style and, done correctly, they are an instant way of injecting plenty of sex appeal into your look. Mischa Barton is never seen without her trademark dark-lined and smudged eyes and, teamed with her long fringe and pale nude lips they\'re a great addition to her grungy boho style. Get this look by opting for liquid liner over kohl and gradually blending dark shadow into the socket of the eyelid.
