"I've got some new little things in my Trinny London bag," she said from her seat on a plane to New York, before revealing a small magnifying mirror. "It's seven times [magnifying] so quite scary, but very good," she said of the handy, compact beauty tool.

Next up was a surprise – Shout's stain remover wipes. "I would not be without Shout on any circumstance where I have food and I'm not sitting at the table because I spill and this cleans it up straight away," she said. "There's nothing it doesn't work on. It works on wool, it works with silk, it works on cotton. It's so good to have."

Continuing with a cleaning theme, Trinny next pulled out Touchland antibacterial spray. Just as practical as her packet of stain removers, it's ideal for giving your hands a clean when soap and water isn't readily available.

Shop Trinny's Travel Essentials

While there are plenty of useful travel beauty sets out there to make doing your skincare practical while on the go, Trinny revealed she prefers to decant her usual skincare products into handy travel containers. Small and easy to carry, she takes her eye cream and lip balm as must-haves to help keep her bright-eyed, hydrated and and feeling refreshed as she heads off on holiday.

Finishing off her 'what's in my bag' video, Trinny revealed she carries the, Trinny London eye mask, a mouth cleaning spray, and her 'favourite' hair bonnet to make sure that the sleep she has on the plane doesn't mess up her hair.

The actress revealed that she uses the Patchology FlashPatch Rejuvenating Eye Gels regularly to improve the look of dark circles and puffiness. Rather than one of the best eye creams, she swears by these gel patches to deliver an intense boost of hydration to the delicate skin under the eyes, where dryness can often emphasise the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

"These patches are fantastic and they're not expensive," she told Good Housekeeping US of the under-eye masks while talking about her otherwise "low maintenance" skincare routine. Most days, she says she skips washing her face and applies whichever she feels is the best moisturiser for her skin that day - but she always uses her Patchology Eye Gels.

Retailing at just £15 for five pairs, the Patchology Eye Gels are a seriously good beauty buy that won't break the bank. Just like the best eye creams for dark circles, they help brighten and moisturise skin for an extra boost of hydration - and they get to work in just five minutes, making for a quick, easy and seriously luxurious step in your morning skincare routine.

Salma Hayek's brightening under eye gel masks

Infused with invigorating ingredients like caffine and green tea, the Patchology eye gels brighten the under eye for a glowing, illuminated look that reduces the appearance of fine lines, dark circles and tired eyes.

At the same time, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, among other active ingredients, help to increase collagen production over time, which is what improves elasticity in the skin.

woman&home beauty editor, Fiona McKim, agrees that this is a recipe for success, saying, "Certain ingredients are known to be brilliantly effective under and around the eyes. Namely, circulation-boosting caffeine, which helps de-puff, antioxidant Vitamin C, which absorbs the free radicals that cause collagen degradation, and humectants such as hyaluronic acid that draw water into the skin to plump dehydration lines."

"Patchology's FlashPatch ticks every one of these boxes, so I'm not surprised Salma's a fan - plus, their gel material would feel deliciously cooling," adds Fiona.

These patches leave the skin smoother and brighter-looking. This is just what we want as we head into summer, where natural makeup looks and low-coverage, dewy-looking serum foundations feel far better to wear.

Even better, the gels adhere easily and comfortably to your skin so you can carry on getting ready while they work their magic. This is because they're made with the brand’s hydrogel technology that prevents any slipping or peeling.

It's not just Salma who loves the way that the patches awaken, renew and revitalise her skin. Reviewers are raving about them, too.

"Good value, feel cooling, especially if you keep in the fridge," one reviewer said. "Definitely make my eyes look brighter after use."

And a second added, "Love these. Keep buying them. Keep them in the fridge and they’ll work their magic."

While the best foundations and concealers can work wonders for evening skin tone and masking imperfections, sometimes your complexion needs a little extra oomph. This is where products like contour sticks and cream highlighters come in handy, to help shape and add that all-important glow to your face. In Salma Hayek Pinault's case, though, she uses one key product to both highlight, brighten and boost coverage - and it's almost as iconic as she is.

A fixture in makeup bags all over the world and instantly recognisable for its clickable, gold applicator, YSL's Touche Éclat is a true multitasker, and Hayek has mastered how and where to apply it for a subtle but effective radiance.

The iconic YSL makeup buy Salma Hayek loves for illuminating her skin

While we have an array of beauty products that we love and have discovered ourselves, there's nothing quite like getting a glimpse into a celebrity's makeup bag and daily routine. In fact, over the past few years, we've adopted a few A-lister-backed formulas into our collection, from Helen Mirren's go-to nail polish to Kate Moss' Clarins perfume and now, Salma Hayek Pinault has shared her favourite skincare and makeup buys...

Breaking down her daily routine and tricks for Vogue's Beauty Secrets YouTube Series, Hayek shared the complexion products she swears by for concealing and brightening. And one nostalgic, gold-encased highlighter pen, in particular, caught our attention: the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat.

In the video, Salma Hayek revealed that she applies Charlotte Tilbury's Beauty Skin Foundation for a natural-looking base, and will often follow that with the Makeup By Mario concealer, to cover uneven skin tone and 'imperfections' - dubbing it the 'hardcore' concealing option. For lighter coverage days though, she swaps it for the Touche Éclat pen.

"When I don’t need that heavy coverage - which normally I do - I use this old trick, the Touche Éclat," Hayek said, adding: "I use number three, because it’s lighter." Opting for a lighter shade of concealer or complexion-illuminator than your skin tone is a good trick for adding brightness, especially around your under eyes.

Hayek then added, "With this one, you put it where you just need it," before proceeding to swipe the pen under her eyes and around her mouth as well as applying it along the bridge of her nose - like you would a highlighter.

She then went on to do her cream contour step, layering products from Merit and Victoria Beckham Beauty (applying them under her cheekbones, nose, forehead and so on), before blending everything in, using her fingers.

Hayek noted that she does most of her makeup with her hands, as the warmth helps everything to blend, and she has better control. Once blended, she was left with fresh, glowy-looking skin and a subtly sculpted look that is just perfect for an elevated, everyday makeup look.

We also think the Touche Éclat is ideal for the summertime and layering with your best foundations with SPF or lightweight serum foundations, for when you want a touch of coverage but plenty of fresh radiance.

As far as the 2025 nail trends go, milky and understated have been the main, long-running themes, and while summer is set to usher in some vibrant looks - like sorbet nails and punchy peach shades, one subtle design is already topping the list. Dubbed the 'ice-cream manicure,' this particular design combines a soft, pink base with an ultra-subtle creamy ombre-like French tip, and so far, it's proving very popular, especially on the red carpet.

In fact, Gillian Anderson sported the look at Cannes, solidifying it in our minds as the ultimate elevated manicure for the summer season.

The Gillian Anderson-approved summer manicure to request

Ice-cream nails are the latest iteration of a milky manicure currently making waves, following the rise of soap nails and popular spring nail colour, Lavender Milk. Its creamy look makes it very versatile, but its delicate, gradient tip also offers a slight elevation on block neutral nails.

The finish is classy, especially if you pair it with an almond nail shape and from the looks of it, that's exactly what Gillian Anderson did at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Sharing an Instagram carousel including behind-the-scenes snaps of Anderson getting red carpet-ready, nail artist Chiara Ballisai also treated us to a few up-close pictures of her chic manicure.

As we can see, the base colour is a pink, sheer nail polish, which then appears to transition subtly into an almost undetectably creamy-white tip. The pairing is very natural, while the choice of almond nails adds an extra touch of elegance, making it ideal for summery occasions or when you just want an expensive-looking manicure. That said, this sheer style will also look very chic on neat short nails.

Recreate Gillian Anderson's manicure

While Anderson's nail artist didn't share the exact polish shades behind the look, we do know that Joonbyrd handcare products were used to hydrate and prep the star's hands.

So, we've not only rounded up two nail polishes that are perfect for recreating this design, but also a few of the brand's best-selling hand treatments, to enhance your at-home manicure.

While it's natural for us to be talking all things 2025 hair trends, it certainly wasn't on our bingo card to be discussing the possible revival of a popular '90s hair trend over three decades later. Well, here we are, and we have Jennifer Garner to thank for that.

To keep you in the loop, the actress took to her social media to debut a head full of chunky blonde highlights - and we think it's such a chic way to switch up and elevate your hair for the sunnier months.

The 90's hair trend Jennifer Garner is bringing into 2025

Posting to Instagram, Jennifer Garner shared a collection of photos that offered a rare insight into what she had been up to during the month of May. But it was the first picture, or more specifically, her hair, that grabbed our attention.

While we've been treated to the likes of ombré, balayage and 'Teddy Blonde' gaining popularity in recent years, all of which pride themselves on their seamless blending of hues, the actress's hair revived the popular '90s chunky highlights trend.

Garner's brunette locks have a brighter tone, with piece-y caramel blonde strands. This creamy hue gave the actress's hair a vibrant refresh that makes it perfectly fitting for the summer months ahead.

As for styling, Jennifer sported a forehead-sweeping side-part and effortlessly soft curls, which can easily be achieved by using one of the best curling irons.

Recreate Jennifer Garner's curly strands

As seen on Jennifer, curly hair is a great way to showcase the true dimension of highlighted strands. So, for those looking to recreate the actress's look at home, you'll be pleased to know that it's incredibly easy to achieve; you'll just need to equip your arsenal with the following buys.

If you're heading to a summery wedding, or perhaps a dinner out, and want to change your hair for the occasion. You can, of course, whip out your best curling irons to transform your strands - but a change in parting can also make all the difference, effortlessly. Helen Mirren has proved as much with the laid-back styling of her collarbone bob, swapping between a swept-back look (with a headband) and a side parting.

The latter is proving very popular amongst the 2025 hair trends, but we especially love how it looks with a bob - and are taking inspiration from Mirren's latest outing.

Helen Mirren's chic and easy bob styling trick

Mirren has been sporting this shoulder-length bob for some time now, but over the last year or so, we've spotted her styling it in one very chic and effortless way: a side parting.

Mirren wore this side-swept look for her appearance in The Hollywood Reporter's The Drama Actress Roundtable issue, further convincing us that it's the perfect, low-maintenance option for an event or occasion.

For the appearance and cover shoot, Mirren paired a pink silk skirt with a white jumper, and opted for a glossy, dark berry lip, a hint of blush on her cheeks and flattering smoky eye (all created by makeup artist, Jo Strettell).

This classy ensemble was then complemented by a sleek and shiny side-swept bob, which was styled by hairstylist Sheridan Ward using Hair Rituel by Sisley products.

The pairing of smooth, glossy strands and a simple but dramatic side-parting just feels so elevated, without appearing too 'done.' This is something we're very much looking to achieve with our occasion looks this summer (and beyond).

As mentioned, this is by no means the first time Helen Mirren has opted for this chic, swept-back, side-parting combo, and each time we see her sport this hairstyle, we're reminded of just how sophisticated it is - and achievable, no matter your hair length.

Recreate Helen Mirren's look

Side-swept hair is very on-trend right now, but it is also a very timeless look, which can be recreated with or without a bob hairstyle.

With summer creeping up on us, we're so ready for a hair refresh. Our trips to the salon have been booked, and we've been analysing the biggest 2025 hair trends for inspiration. Pixie cuts, texture, pastel colours, and ultra short bobs are set to be huge this year. But honestly, Jennifer's beautifully framed chop with fine, expertly-placed babylights is what's really tempting us.

Any fan of Jen (or any hair lover in general) will know she's been queen of volume, sleekness, and perfectly-cut layers ever since her Friends days - and a selfie shared on social media in April 2024 still has us filled to the brim with hair envy.

In the summery snapshot, she can be seen pouting for the camera, showing off her shoulder-length locks, with strands cut and styled to flick inwards around her chin and jawline.

Aleesha Badkar, Beauty Ecommerce Editor at woman&home, is all for switching up her hairstyle in favour of something a little brighter and less weighty when summer is incoming - and she a big fan of Jen's take on it.

"Personally, I love this look for the summer. A style that I tend to go for myself in the warmer months of the year, the choppy layers add a subtle bounce and fresh lightness to the hair, making it look healthy, while the lack of weight on the ends stops hair from feeling too warm or "blanket-like" on the neck and shoulders," Aleesha says.

"This style is also easy to maintain and top up throughout the summer if the hot weather conditions cause dry ends. As for the colour? Nothing says summer like a warm, face-highlighting money piece."

While it's clear that Jennifer, who founded haircare brand LolaVie, loves to embrace her natural dark blonde shade, the addition of super fine highlights throughout, with delicate baby blonde money pieces at the front, created the dreamiest blend of hues that's perfect for summer. The intricately woven babylights at the front of the hair provided brightness around the face, without the need for all-over blonde.

In the same way that 'camouflage' hair allows for low-maintenance colour with plenty of dimension, Jennifer's cut and colour added a subtle touch of sun-kissed vibrance to her taupe-toned tresses.

Equipping your skincare routine with one of the best facial exfoliators can be just as important as a quality moisturiser or one of the best cleansers. These formulas work to remove dull, dead skin cells from the surface of your skin for a brighter and smoother complexion - whilst also helping other skincare products to absorb better.

In fact, this skincare step is something that many celebrities focus on making a priority within their routines to keep their complexion in tip-top condition. We've already gained an insight into a plethora of Ruth Langsford's beauty buys, from her £5.99 makeup sponge holder to her handy root spray, so it was only natural that we scouted out the facial exfoliator behind her unfaltering healthy glow.

The exfoliant you'll find nestled away in Ruth Langsford's skincare arsenal

Having amassed hundreds of impressive star-rated reviews, many shoppers hail this formula for its ability to leave "skin fresh and glowing", while another was impressed with how it left "the skin looking and feeling like new."

Hello! reported the television presenter posted to her Instagram story to give an insight into her morning pamper routine, of which included her go-to choice of exfoliator. While you may already be familiar with the brand's hero Cleanse and Polish, Ruth's favoured product is the lesser known Superskin™ Microdermabrasion Polish. In fact, Ruth snapped a photo of the product alongside the caption: "My fave skin polish."

Equipped with fine volcanic pumice crystals and naturally-derived fruit enzyme AHAs, the formula in question is designed to be used once a week as an at-home facial treatment to buff away dead skin cells and skin-dulling impurities.

While its shea butter and rosehip oil work to nourish the complexion to reveal soft and supple skin. Not to mention, its soothing neroli scent transports you to a spa setting, while it works its magic in a mere five minutes. It's no surprise that Ruth is a fan.

Of all the best perfumes for women out there, Jo Malone scents are some of the very best. Super luxurious with both their high-end packaging, long-lasting perfumes, and huge selection of varying scents, there's something for everyone.

But there's one in particular that we'll be trying out this spring and it's Kate Middleton's favourite perfume. One of the best Jo Malone perfumes out there, she is a massive fan of the brand's Orange Blossom Eau De Cologne Spray. With its fresh, citrusy scent and bright floral notes, it's an ideal perfume for warmer months - and, of course, it's royal-approved.

The Jo Malone Orange Blossom fragrance is a fresh, citrusy and floral scent that the Princess of Wales is said to love so much that she incorporated it into her wedding day.

When she and Prince William tied the knot at London's Westminster Abbey back in April 2011, it's reported that Jo Malone candles in the Orange Blossom scent were burning throughout the ceremony.

The Orange Blossom Eau De Cologne is a scent that was introduced by Jo Malone back in 2003 - and has remained a best-seller for the past two decades.

Thanks to its top notes of bittersweet Petitgrain, fruity and rich middle notes of Osmanthus Blossom and warming base notes of Cashmere Wood, it's a luxe-smelling scent that's ideal for spritzing a sense of sophistication and taking your fragrance collection to the next level.

Kate is not the only person to love the bright and fresh scent, with shoppers on Sephora raving about the perfume. Out of the hundreds of five star reviews it's received, one wrote, "Fun, light , uplifting beautiful scent. Reminds me of a childhood scent, like the wildflowers that grew in my aunt's backyard."

Another added, "It smells expensive and makes me smile, highly recommend." While a third said, "It is gorgeous, bright, clean floral. It opens with a burst of citrus, and quickly softens to a clean orange blossom/white lilac that reads very similar to fresh, soapy jasmine. It lasts a long time on my dry skin. This is a simple, joyful, crowd-pleasing garden floral. I wear it to work occasionally and have received compliments."

Lots of celeb recommendations, from Kate Moss's drugstore SPF to Sienna Miller's glow-boosting bronzing drops, have helped us build a great skincare routine. We're always learning from our favourite stars - and now that SJP has revealed her favourite eye cream, we've got another product on our wishlists.

Speaking about the RoC Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream in an Instagram post, SJP called it a "true holy grail product" and cited it as the main player in keeping the delicate skin under her eyes "smooth".

Sarah Jessica Parker's "holy grail" eye cream

She added, "At home, at work, and during summer travels. I’m never without it."

The eye cream is formulated with and powered by retinol, which is a powerful ingredient that often leaves people wondering what it actually does for the skin. In this eye cream specifically, the powerhouse ingredient helps to speed up cell turnover and thus softens lines and improves skin texture.

It is also designed to tackle puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines without damaging the delicate skin around the eye area.

According to RoC, their Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream is clinically proven to make eyes look 10 years younger, as it works to visibly brighten and depuff eyes in just four weeks. With continued use, they say, it will also reduce the appearance of fine lines by 50% in 12 weeks.

In order to help you avoid making any common mistakes when using retinol, Sarah's go-to eye cream is formulated with Vitamin E, which makes the retinol-heavy formula safer and more effective to use every day.

Shoppers on Amazon have been just as impressed as SJP when it comes to the results they've seen from using the eye cream, with one even saying that it took just a couple of days of continual use to see a change in their undereyes.

One reviewer wrote, "Literally worked within 2-3 days of use before bed, dark circles are gone, overall brighter around my eyes."

Another added, "Been using for about 2 weeks and noticing a huge difference already. The skin under my eyes has changed colour to match the skin of my cheeks, the 'dark circles' have lightened, and now blend in better. There's less puffiness and fine lines."

And a third said, "I have sensitive, sometimes dry under-eyes, and this has been very moisturising and nourishing. I have been using it for a few months, and it seems to be working. I have noticed a difference in how my makeup looks under my eyes. It does not cause me any irritation where lots of other creams do."

Celebrity makeup artist Gucci Westman has worked with Jennifer for a number of decades, spanning right back into the 90s when she was on Friends and solidified a simple, bronzed and glowing makeup look as her go-to. Westman is the genuis behind this look and is largely considered to be the artist who made Jen into the beauty-icon we know today.

So, imagine our delight when Westman released a makeup line and then revealed exactly how to use her products to get Jen's look. We loved the items she launched with, her foundation stick making it onto our roundup of best foundation sticks for flawless coverage and her liquid blusher is now one of our beauty editor's top formulas.

But Westman drew our attention to a different collection products when she revealed how she creates Jen's bronzed complexion. Speaking to Marie Claire, she revealed that it's taken time to really lock down the look into one that makes Jen feel beautiful - and she's sure it will make you feel just as good, too.

"You know, Jennifer Aniston has been my girl since 2001, I think, or 2000 even," she said. "That’s a long time, and, of course, I know how to make her feel beautiful. I feel that I know what makes a lot of women feel beautiful.”

To start with this confidence-boosting, bronzed makeup look, she says to start with the skin, explaining, "I start with, for example, the [Vital Skincare Complexion Foundation] Drops and then I would go and use a Beauty Butter Bronzer.”

Shop Westman Atelier Complexion Products

The Vital Skincare Complexion Foundation from Westman's self-titled brand Westman Atelier is the ultimate skin care makeup hybrid. It's more of a tinted serum than a foundation, with complexion-boosting drops gliding across the skin like a 'lightweight oil' before setting to offer coverage with the feel of a hydrating serum.

According to Nordstrom, where you can shop the entire Westman Atelier collection, the foundation leaves you with 'dewy, facial-fresh skin' and creates 'the perfect, skin-like base for no makeup makeup looks.'

With your glowing, hydrated base done, Westman says it's time to add bronzer - and it's this step that goes the furthest in giving you Jen's stunning, sun-kissed look.

“I do a bronzer like I’m changing her skin tone," she explained, saying to apply the product where the sun would naturally hit to add natural dimension to the face.

woman&home's beauty editor Fiona McKim says that the bronzer is ideal for warming up skin that's yet to see the sun, or that's being properly protected under a facial SPF, with Westman's formula being a brilliant go-to. She says, "Almost £70 for bronzer is no joke, but this does offer a makeup-artist-created, moisture-boosting formula, pleasingly inclusive shade range and crucially – a nice soft focus (aka non-glittery) finish. It’s no surprise that Jennifer Aniston, the embodiment of easy, summery, surfy LA beauty, is a big fan."

With bronzer done and dusted, then you want to add more depth and color by contouring the cheekbones as Westman does when pampering Jen.

“I make her quite tan using our Face Trace Contour Stick in ‘Truffle’ and the [Body Butter] bronzer. I use little by little. I add and I add, until it’s the right amount and then I add a pop of color to the cheeks [with blusher],” she says.

Everything then gets set in place with a fine layer of 'pressed powder so it lasts all day and night. And that's the skin done, allowing you to now go on and create whatever look you want to.

Westman says that this base lends itself to a variety of looks and explains, “Of course you have fun with your eye makeup and your lips. But the skin really needs to be alive. It’s not always the same finish, it’s different all the time, but as long as it looks like skin and amplified, as opposed to cosmetic feeling.”

Whether you add a glossy, peach-toned lip and play around with your blusher to find the best blush placements for your face shape, or opt for a striking smokey eye and a bold lipstick, you can't go wrong with Westman's impeccable bronzed base.

The Princess's favourite lip balm is one of the most affordable purchases you can make to recreate her look. The Clarins Lip Perfector, which Kate wears in the shade 01 Rose Shimmer, retails for $30 / £24. With a super moisturising formula, it works hard to battle dryness and chapped skin on the lips, while also offering a touch of subtle rose-pink colour. Use as a finishing touch alongside no makeup makeup looks, or layer it over your favourite lipstick for an added hit of glossy glamour.

A sheer, rosy balm or gloss is also a go-to for Digital Beauty Writer, Naomi Jamieson: "As someone who prefers quite subtle makeup day-to-day, I always find myself gravitating towards this sort of warm, blush-pink hue.

"While I haven't used this exact Clarins buy, many of my best tinted lip balms boast a similar shade, which is just enough to accentuate my pout and instantly elevate my makeup, without it suddenly looking too 'done.' I also often suffer from dry and chapped lips, so any formula with hydrating and smoothing shea butter gets my vote."

It's no surprise that the lip balm is a staple in Kate's makeup routine. With a natural rose-pink tint, the Clarins Lip Perfector is an elevated neutral shade that brings the perfect pop of colour to the lips while also keeping them looking natural, plump and healthy.

Boasting what Sephora describes as a 'melting texture,' the balm glides on with ease to bring hydration and colour to the lips in an even swipe, while also helping to 'visibly plump lips' for a fuller look.

Kate isn't the only person who swears by the Clarins Lip Perfector, with hundreds of shoppers giving it five out of five stars in their reviews. Love for its non-greasy and non-sticky finish as well as its staying power comes up time and time again, with shoppers rating it highly.

One reviewer said of the Lip Perfector, "I’ve been using the Clarins Lip Perfector for a while now and really love it. It feels super smooth on the lips—not sticky at all—and gives just the right amount of shine. The scent is light and sweet. The applicator is soft and easy to use, and the packaging feels nice and sleek."

Another added, "I really like this gloss—it’s super comfortable to wear and gives just enough shimmer without being over the top."

And a third summed it up simply when they said, "This lip perfector is the perfect everyday lip gloss."

Celebrity skincare and makeup recommendations are what we live for, and we've discovered some brilliant ones lately.

From the £10 'cheap as chips' moisturiser Joanna Lumley 'adores' to Ruth Langsford's genius £5.99 beauty tool, it's never been more purse-friendly to build a great skincare routine. And now we've learnt that Joan Collins cites Nivea's 2-in-1 Face Cleanser, that's currently on sale for just £2, is the secret to her youthful, smooth skin.

Joan Collins' £2 Nivea Cleanser

“For 40 years I've been taking my makeup off with Nivea,” she once told The Telegraph. “I just put it on my face with a Kleenex and wipe it off with one.”

One of the most affordable but best face cleansers on the market, the Nivea 2-in-1 cleanser works not only to deeply cleanse skin and remove makeup and daily grime but, as it's infused with moisturising Vitamin E and Hydramine, it also intensely hydrates the complexion for a non-irritating and refreshing finish.

A multi-tasker, the Nivea cleanser is also a toner that helps to leave skin with a refreshed, clarified, and toned look. With a smooth and milky vegan formula that effortlessly glides across the skin, the product is a great choice for busy mornings where you need a streamlined, no-fuss routine.

Speaking about the cleanser, woman&home's Digital Beauty Writer Sennen Prickett says, "2-in-1 products can make a great addition to your beauty routine as their multi-tasking nature ticks off multiple steps within your regime all at once.

"These formulas help to streamline your routine, meaning you require fewer products within your arsenal, while also taking up less time of your day - it’s a win-win."

While Joan uses a tissue to apply and wipe off the cleanser, Nivea recommends gently massaging the milky formula into your skin with just your fingers before removing it with a cotton pad or simple splashing of water.

The cleasner's effectiveness is clear in Joan's approach to beauty, which she says is to avoid botox, simply look after your skin and “get a few lines, just like Helen Mirren, Judi Dench and, well, me”.

But we don't have to take only Joan's word for it, thousands of shoppers are - and have been for a long time - raving about Nivea's 2-in-1 Face Cleanser.

"For me this is the best cleanser on the market," one shopper wrote. "Leaves skin soft and so smooth I sometimes forget moisturiser. Wish I’d found this years ago. Wouldn’t use anything else."

Another added, "I love this product. It cleans and tones my skin perfectly and within a few days of using it, I noticed how good my skin was looking. It’s a reasonable price. I have very sensitive skin, and it doesn’t react to this."

And a third said, "I've been using this cleanser and toner morning and night and love how gentle it is on my skin. After using, my skin feels clean, refreshed, and hydrated. I also like the double-action use of the product, which simplifies my skin care routine. The scent is nice and fresh and not too overpowering."

If you're thinking of switching up your look and have been um-ing and ah-ing as you imagine 2025's biggest hair trends on your own head, there's no better case for diving right in and trying something totally new than Renée's stunning pixie cut.

As sophisticated as it is chic, she debuted her ultra-short do on the January cover of British Vogue, just ahead of the launch of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. It couldn't be more different from the shoulder-lengths strands we've come to associate with her and her iconic character, but the chic and powerful crop suits her perfectly.

Syd Hayes, the hairstylist behind the unrecognisable look, took inspiration from David Bowie's iconic jagged fringed trim and the tousled texture that proved popular in the early days of Bridget Jones when it came to creating her new hairstyle. And the outcome is an effortlessly chic, bedhead-like pixie that we adore.

While Renée has sported an array of cuts over the years, from a long feathered layers to the 90s banged bob trend, her latest dramatic trim is all the encouragement we need to jump into the realm of short hairstyles for women.

When it comes to asking for a dramatically shorter cut, Hayes stresses that you have to be certain that you will love it. As for whether Renée was ready to take the plunge, the hairstylist reveals, “She was so open to it. It wasn’t about Bridget, but more about her as a person.”

Renée's pixie cut styling essentials

Looking to recreate the look? Speaking to Vogue, Renée's hairstylist lifted the lid on the staple trio of haircare products that he used to achieve the effortless styling of this standout cut - including a styling cream loved by another A-list actress.

Now that the warmer weather is finally coming back around, inevitably, so has the no makeup makeup trend. A staple in spring and summer for a fresh, clean and elevated look, the minimal makeup style relies on sheer products like the best clear mascaras and chic tinted lip balms, like Victoria Beckham's Posh Balms, to give a polished appearance that's effortlessly chic.

While there's plenty of inspiration to help you master a minimal face out there, Sienna Miller is hard to beat, so when she started raving about Charlotte Tilbury's Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation to create a gorgeous complexion, we were all ears.

"I'm all about the no makeup makeup look - especially for the summer months or even just casual days when I don't have much planned," says woman&home's Beauty eCommerce Editor, Aleesha Badkar. "For those days when I want just a subtle glowy finish, a skin tint is the only way to go. While I've not tried Sienna's go-to Charlotte Tilbury number, the sheer finish and hydrating formula sounds exactly like the type of product that would make for a perfect no makeup makeup look."

Sienna Miller's 'magic' sheer foundation

In a video posted to Charlotte Tilbury's Instagram page, Sienna raved about the iconic brand's Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation and even went as far to say that she's 'obsessed' with it.

"I'm obsessed with it, along with the rest of the world," she said. "It's basically like no-foundation foundation. It's almost got a concealer in it which is crazy because it's so sheer, but it just blurs everything.

"It's like the skin that you have after you've got back from holiday, or when you've stepped out of a spa and feel your best. It's so easy and it literally takes 10 seconds - magic," she added.

The perfect product to use when creating a minimal makeup look, The Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation boasts a sheer coverage that allows your skin to peak through. This is what gives it such a natural look, while it still perfects your complexion and adds a stunning dewy glow.

If you prefer a little more coverage than the best lightweight foundations normally offer, this foundation is a great choice as, while applying one layer will give you that sheer, natural look, the formula is incredibly easy to work with and can be built up to offer more coverage for a glam and full-coverage look.

The Charlotte Tilbury website explains that the foundation is created with 'Light Mapping' technology that helps to bring light to the face and give a 'super natural soft-focus, blurred glow' to the skin as a result. Explaining how it works, they say it's a little like having a 'ring light' angled onto your face at all times, highlighting your face's high points and creating a stunning shadow under the cheekbones for a sculpted effect.

Even better than being a great, all-rounder foundation that works for no makeup makeup looks as well as more glamorous ones, the Unreal Skin Foundation is also full of skin-loving ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E that work to hydrate and plump skin while also helping to immediately blur imperfections on the skin and bring a stunning glow to your complexion.

The foundation is available in 20 shades with the brand's colour-matching technology making buying online a breeze! Plus, if you're in the UK and order the wrong shade, you can exchange it for free and get the right one sent to your door.

Sienna Miller isn't the only person whose fallen in love with this iconic Charlotte Tilbury foundation, shoppers are also raving about the product's beautiful and natural-looking finish.

"The texture is magnificent, it is super easy to apply and spread," one reviewer wrote. "The coverage is very good, skin looks very beautiful and has a wonderful glow. It lasts for hours without showing flaws in the skin."

Another shared, "What I was really impressed with though was how hydrating it was as I have dry skin and this left my skin feeling so deeply moisturised. Its very easy to apply and smudge-proof!"

We love Joanna Lumley's 'cheap as chips' moisturiser and Kate Moss's go-to sunscreen - so we were super excited to learn about Reese Witherspoon's favourite face wash that's currently on sale for just £7.50.

Usually retailing at £11.50, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is already one of the cheapest and best face cleansers on the market. But it can be snapped up with 35% off at Amazon today.

Revealing her love for the cleanser in an interview with Refinery 29, Reese called Cetaphil her 'favourite' skincare brand and said, "I use the face wash, and I travel with it."

If, like Reese, you're after a handy travel-sized cleanser to take on holiday, you can pick up the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Travel-Size for just £5.60.

Fragrance free, the gentle cleanser has a super simple formula that's full of non-irritating, non-comedogenic (meaning it won't block your pores) and vegan ingredients, that make sure your skin gets what it needs without any fuss.

This is what has won the cleanser so many fans, as well as over 160 beauty awards, including the woman&home Clever Skincare Award for Best Cream Cleanser for Savvy Shoppers in 2024.

There's a no-frills formula of glycerin, niacinamide, and panthenol that works to remove dirt, makeup, and impurities, while preserving the skin's moisture barrier, increasing hydration, and soothing any irritation.

Talking about the simple ingredients list of Reese's go-to Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, woman&home's Digital Beauty Writer Naomi Jamieson said, "As someone with dry and sensitive skin, I find simplicity is key when it comes to my beauty routine and specifically, my cleansers.

"I don't want anything too harsh or stripping, so I tend to look for products that feature ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which work to hydrate and soothe the skin," she added.

It's a hard-working multitasker product, too, and can be used as a gentle body wash. Perfect for those with easily aggravated skin who want a shower gel with no intense fragrance or harsh ingredients.

Neutrogena's Deep Moisture Body Lotion was the first product Alex highlighted in a recent Instagram post detailing some of her go-to skincare products. "My skin resembles an armadillo/dinosaur. The skin is so dry after the winter that the only thing I think has an effect is this. This is Neutrogena from Boots'.

We're familiar with Alex's problem and can identify with her reptilian reference. "The extremities, such as the arms and lower legs, tend to be drier as the skin here tends to produce less oil," explains Dr Mervyn Patterson, medical director of Woodford Medical.

Dr Patterson also notes that we should "Look for moisturisers that contain barrier repair properties. Renewing the normal balance of healthy lipids in the external skin barrier helps protect us from the environment and reduce water loss from the deeper skin layers."

Alex went on to reveal a number of other go-to skincare products, including Elemis Rose Cleansing Balm for removing her make up after the show, which she says 'smells amazing.'

Alongside the Elemis cleansing balm, Alex is a big fan of using reusable makeup remover pads, specifically these JoJo Glow microfibre face cloths. 'Sorry JoJo Glow, this is a dirtier version, but we use these so much," she says. "You can use these 200 times, so every time I take my make up off, pop it in the wash and good to go'.

Alex Jones skincare must-haves

From the video, another standout product of Alex's quickly became clear. Speaking about her complexion, she said, 'This, oh my goodness, the colour of a magnolia wall without this. This is Vita Liberata The H.A+ Deep Moisture Face Tan, we use this a lot at work, it's like an instant tan. Next thing you know, you look like J.Lo - it's magic.'

Alex has all skincare needs covered in this video, but make sure you stay until the end of the video for the most brilliant beauty '80s throwback.

Knowing how to build the right skincare routine can be tricky. There are so many products out there, from the best face moisturisers to the best serums, that it can be hard to know where to even start. Plus, while we'd all like to spend time lathering lotions and potions onto our skin each morning, most of the time we're in too much of a rush to do so.

But the perfect skincare routine doesn't have to be overwhelming or take more than even five minutes to do - and Julia Roberts' morning regime is proof of just that. Her 'low maintenance' skincare routine is finished in just three simple steps and her glowing complexion is proof that you don't have to miss out on a healthy, refreshed look to save time in the mornings.

When Viva asked her if her morning skincare routine was low or high maintenance, Julia joked, "Low, I could definitely go a little higher. If it were any more streamlined, I’d still be in bed."

Breaking down her minimal routine, she said, "I brush my teeth. That’s number one."

She added, "On a regular day, I’ll just brush my teeth, wash my face, and apply sunblock." To cleanse her skin, Julia relies on one of the best cleansers out there; the Mousse Radiance Clarifying Self-foaming Cleanse by Lancome. And, when she's not in a rush, she adds in another Lancome product to her routine for an extra boost of hydration.

"When I’m not in a rush, I use Hydra-Intense Masque. So if I’m living in the lap of luxury, that’s what I like to do," she said.

As for her SPF of choice, while there are plenty of face-friendly sunscreens out there to choose from, Julia told PEOPLE Magazine that she relies on Shade's SPF 30+ for total UV protection. She's not the only person to love the SPF, it's constantly sold out! However, as an alternative, the brand sells a handy SPF stick with even higher protection that boasts a similar formula.

Senior beauty editor for woman&home magazine Rhiannon Derbyshire subscribes to skincare minimalism, prioritising three steps; cleanse, moisturise, and protect with SPF.

"Keeping your skincare routine minimal can lead to healthier, happier skin. Plus, it has a whole host of other bonus benefits, like saving you time, money and - crucially - faff," she explained when breaking down the three products she uses in her skincare routine. "Skin minimalism is a great way of seeing how your skin behaves on its own, giving it a chance to recover without astringent ingredients."

Shop Julia Roberts' Skincare Must-Haves

The actress's routine actually plays into a relatively big skincare trend; skincare minimalism. The idea behind the trend is to use less products, prioritising those simple steps that your skin needs rather than the trending products you want to add that, while fun, aren't strictly necessary.

There's endless manicure inspiration out there, with styles, colours and nail shapes for everyone to enjoy. But when we look to celebrities for inspiration, a clear trend has come out on top. From almond nails and classic French tip nails to the soap nails trend even Victoria Beckham loves, it's clear that clean, fresh and pretty pink nails are very much in for summer.

The muted, subtle and elegant shade is a go-to when we require an infallible manicure, being incredibly versatile and oh-so pretty for any and every occasion. The ideal your-nails-but-better look, it plays into the beauty trends we see come back around each spring and summer like the no makeup makeup look and the healthy-hair trend that both see celebrities embrace more natural, high-gloss styles.

No one has quite pulled off the healthy, pretty-in-pink nails trend like Helen Mirren, who revealed that she does her manicures at-home and relies on one, very iconic pink hue when doing her nails. Even better, her go-to polish will only set you back £9, making it an affordable and very chic addition to your polish collection this season.

The £9 nail polish Helen Mirren relies on for a chic, every-occasion mani

Timeless, neutral nail shades are a great go-to for a versatile, every-occasion manicure. Whether you opt for a soft pink, milky hue, a minimalistic nude or a flattering creamy neutral, finding a signature shade that can work for any event or dress code is a sure-fire way to elevate your style.

But being presented with all the nail shades available in store and online, or at the nail salon, can be overwhelming. There's simply too much choice! So we're relying on Helen Mirren's reccomendation of this specific Essie nail shade to remove the guesswork and give us a versatile and chic go-to.

Sharing the contents of her beauty bag with Harper's Bazaar for its "Inside My Beauty Bag" YouTube series, Mirren revealed that she uses Essie's "Ballet Slippers", a pale, cool-toned pink. It's subtle, sheer and the ideal hue for those who love the bubble bath nail trend or are looking for the perfect French tip nail or glazed nail base colour.

It's not just Helen who reportedly loves this classic, affordable shade. It's also widely-rumoured to be a favourite of Kate Middleton's and was also long-reported as the late Queen Elizabeth II's signature shade. The monarch is said to have worn the shade for three decades and it would be no surprise to learn that Princess Catherine has followed in her footsteps and relies on the nail shade too - royal's aren't allowed to have brightly coloured nails and this Essie shade is the ideal elevated neutral.

Mirren also shared a good tip for maintaining your manicure on the go: keep whatever shade you're wearing in your handbag for touch-ups, which is exactly what she did in the video.

How to achieve the perfect mani

While it's tempting to just go in with this beautiful nail shade and slather it on for an immediately elevated look, to get the perfect mani, you need to take the time to prep and primp your hands first.

To complement this understated hue, you could opt for either an elegant almond shape or an equally minimalistic style like squoval nails when it comes to filing and shaping your nails. These subtle and soft shapes are perfect for giving off a lowkey, minimal look that's also super elegant.

When it comes to applying the colour, layer on two or three coats – gradually, to ward off streaks – and follow up with a high-shine top coat, (like this one from Beauty Pie). Finishing off your pampering with a cuticle oil and one of the best hand creams is also a great addition and is the key to maintaining your nails' health and keeping them looking fresh.

Now, don't get us wrong, many of the trending spring nail colours are timeless and versatile options in and of themselves, but black nails, like red, truly never go out of style.

In our opinion, a coat of glossy black is the manicure equivalent of having a little black dress in your wardrobe. Sophisticated, chic and timeless. Sarah Jessica Parker recently rejected this season's array of lilacs and pinks in favour of a rich, liquorice hue - and we're so here for it.

So if you're looking to retire pastel and sheer nail polishes, here's why SJP's manicure - and chic choice of nail shape - might be the answer.

The rich and rebellious mani Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing this spring

Stepping out for the opening night of Smash on Broadway on April 10th, SJP embodied sophistication in a black lace dress, black pointed-toe stilettos, and a long tailored coat. To complete the monochromatic look, the style icon opted for a short and square glossy black manicure, which, unsurprisingly, caught the eyes of our nail-obsessed beauty team.

So far this year, we've spotted a trend of milky pinks and nude nails appearing on the red carpet, more so in the lead-up to spring. Our own April nails were also a sea of subtle pastel hues, but Sarah Jessica's nails pose as a reminder that, no matter the season, a dark nail colour will always look elevated. Plus, when everyone else is wearing light and breezy paints on their nails, there's something to be said for breaking the mould and setting a vampier tone.

While we can understand reservations about wearing a slick of jet black on our nails, SJP showed us you can't go far wrong if you're wearing all black everything.

Choosing a short square nail shape will also offset the darkness of the shade, offering a touch more subtlety and modernity.

For those doing their nails at home, we would suggest applying a base coat, preferably a hybrid best nail strengthener like OPI's Nail Envy or Start To Finish polish. Then apply two to three coats of your chosen black nail polish.

For an extra mirror-like shine, apply a clear top coat like essie's Gel Couture top coat or the NAILKIND Mr Volume plumping gloss.

In a video shared on Instagram, the TV presenter gave her followers an insight into the beauty buys she relies on to look radiant and "feel fabulous", even on off-duty days.

Filming in her at-home dressing room with a set of rollers in her hair, Ruth talked us through everything, from the natural-looking IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream she adores, to her go-to Lancôme Hypnôse Volume À Porter - one of the best mascaras for short lashes.

Her nifty little makeup sponge case is the tool we weren't aware our beauty stashes could really do with, though. We've found this one for £5.99 on Amazon that will certainly make its way into our next orders.

Holding up her blending sponge encased in the silicone holder to show the camera, Ruth said, "Look at the little sponge holder!"

She added, "You know when you use the sponge, put it back in your makeup bag and it's all grubby?"

Fiona McKim, Digital Beauty Editor at woman&home, admits that her blending sponges have seen better days and says that Ruth's ingenious recommendation is ideal for keeping the germs our blenders can harbour to a minimum.

"Most of us would be shocked if we knew how much dirt and bacteria those super porous beauty sponges pick up - and very few of us wash them as often as we should (I include myself in that)," Fiona explains.

"So Ruth’s cute silicone holder is a genius idea - ensuring only her glowing complexion products get onto her skin, not the bottom of the makeup bag debris."

A good eyelash curler is another of Ruth's makeup bag non-negotiables, as she explained that it's the first step in her eye makeup process.

"I always curl my eyelashes because I've got quite pathetic eyelashes," Ruth said, going on to explain that going through the menopause left her with lashes and locks that aren't as thick as they used to be.

"In menopause, you know, the hair got thinner, the eyelashes got a bit thinner. So, everything's getting thinner except me," Ruth chuckled.

Kate Moss's go-to sunscreen and Sienna Miller's all-rounder makeup brush have been recent additions to our dressing tables - now it's set to be a bargain buy that Joanna Lumley thinks is one of the best face moisturisers out there.

In an interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine, Amandaland actress Joanna revealed that the Astral Face & Body Intensive Moisturiser Cream is the only moisturiser she trusts not to irritate her sensitive skin.

Joanna said, "It comes in a little blue pot, cheap as chips – adore. It has never been tested on animals and is about the only thing I’ve never developed an allergy to."

Admitting that she's not one to invest in ultra-pricey beauty products, she joked, "I don't usually buy expensive products because I'm mean."

Fiona McKim, Digital Beauty Editor at woman&home, agrees with this savvy approach, saying, "Joanna Lumley is bang on the money by using this classic, budget-friendly face cream. Moisturisers have one simple job - to hydrate your skin - and most do so using the same humectant ingredients, usually glycerin or hyaluronic acid, regardless of price."

Fiona adds, "A pricier pick may have more bells, whistles, and seductive packaging, but I'd advise smart shoppers to spend less on moisturiser and more on active serums, such as Vitamin C or retinol, to benefit from pricier skincare technology where it counts."

Joanna's go-to Astral moisturiser is proof that you don't have to splash out when building your skincare routine to see good results. It's formulated with minimal but impactful ingredients to make sure your skin isn't exposed to anything unnecessary.

Lanolin locks in moisture while glycerin works to smooth the complexion and leave skin feeling velvety soft. As Joanna pointed out, the product is not, and never has been, tested on animals and, as the brand says, the formula 'hasn't changed a bit' since it was first created back in 1953 - if it isn't broke, don't fix it!

It's not just Joanna who is a fan of the Astral moisturiser, with the likes of Ruth Langsford also known to use it regularly.

"When it comes to nourishing skin, I like to keep it simple with classic staples that have stood the test of time," Ruth told My Weekly, adding, "As I have very dry skin, I rely on Astral Face & Body Moisturiser to protect my skin from losing hydration.

"I use it day and night on my face, hands, elbows and feet."

In a video shared on Instagram, Sara did the ultimate magic trick and somehow managed to get her post-run hair looking freshly washed. How? Well, all you need, she says, is three products; a shower cap, one of the best hair dryers and some dry shampoo.

We've all got these items knocking about in our bathroom cabinets, but it's one in particular that's revolutionary when it comes to Sara's routine. Her shower cap, which is the Tiara Luxury shower cap is a little different to the average one we might pick up at the supermarket, with a flat bit at the front meaning Sara's fringe can be kept out of the cap. This means she can easily wash her fringe and get it free from any sweat or oil without messing up the rest of her hair. Et voila!

Your entire head now looks freshly washed and voluminous - just add some K18 dry shampoo like Sara did to the rest of her hair, which is a product she says 'has literally changed my life'.

Key products

If you go to the gym regularly, or have a thick head of hair you simply can't face washing every day, Sara's advice is an excellent time saver. Or, as she calls it in her caption 'TOP LIFE HACK ever'. And it's clear her followers agree. While many of them say they have done the 'fringe wash' for years, it's the shower cap that's really capturing their attention.

"I've always done the 'fringe wash' but loving the shower cap idea, I usually lean over the sink', said one fan. "I do this but where do we get this shower cap?? That's the game changer!!", wrote another.

After washing her fringe, Sara follows up with the Dyson Airstrait hairdryer to dry and style her fringe so 'it looks like I've just fresh washed my hair', she says.

You can use whichever hairdryer you have but Sara's choice is one that woman&home's Digital Beauty Editor, Aleesha Badkar, is a huge fan of. It's not your average hair tool, she explains, saying, "With technology and a design that blowdries your hair straight from wet, the Dyson Airstrait is great for those who are short on time and want a finished look in a matter of minutes,."

She adds, "By straightening hair with air instead of plates, it also works to improve hair health and prevent dryness and damage. However, it's good to know that when it says straight, it means straight. The absence of plates or any curve in the design means that hair is dried fully straight, so if you're looking for something with more of a curve or body, the Dyson Airwrap might suit you better.'

When asked in the comments if the Dyson air tool was worth the money, Sara also revealed if you buy the Dyson Airstrait from QVC, you can try it for 60 days to see if you like it, and send back if you decide it's not for you.

We've said goodbye to our go-to burgundy, merlot and red wine nail shades as the weather has warmed up, and now pedicure trends are brimming with stylish, vacation-ready hues and bright and bold floral nail art. There is some striking pedicure inspiration out there, but for those of us who prefer versatile neutrals, minimalistic shades and more timeless, quiet-luxury-inspired pedicure colors, the trends might feel a bit daunting - still, there's one trend you can jump on and it's Victoria Beckham approved.

Muted, glossy and pastel pinks have become a signature manicure and pedicure style for Victoria Beckham, who has been seen sporting the luxurious shade on her nails (both finger and toe) since a family vacation back in the summer of 2024. Similar to her favorite soap nails, this pastel hue is a beautiful rose-pink shade with a milky finish that keeps the color feeling effortless and makes sure that it compliments any look you pull together from your summer closet.

Super subtle, the color gives an immediate feeling of being effortlessly put together. It's elevated, effortless, and super luxe - VB's pastel pink is definitely our top pick for pedicures this summer.

Why Victoria Bekcham's pastel pink pedicure is our top pick for a luxe summer look

If you're familiar with the star's style, you may already know that she frequently flits between a milky pink and black manicure but it's the former that she seems to always settle on for her mani/pedi in the warmer seasons. It was clear to see why in the snaps she shared to Instagram of her family's summer vacation last year, with the carousel of sweet photos showing off her pastel pedicure's beautifully subtle though elevated look - how flattering is the petal-pink glow? We need this shade on our toes.

Adding to the luxe and elevated feel of the shining shade, Victoria opted to match her pedicure with her manicure. This created a cohesive and very refined look, with the pretty pink practically glowing on her nails, though it still didn't look out of place with her super laid-back vacation outfit.

This style of cool pink has earned the title of timeless for a reason, as not only is it flattering on every skin tone and nail shape, it's assosiated with being both a signature everyday look as well as the perfect occasion hue. It's soft and fresh and luckier still, very easy to request - and recreate at home.

Recreate Victoria Beckham's pedicure

If you've got an appointment booked and are already familiar with what a pedicure involves, all you need do to achieve this elegant look is request a soft, milky pink when it comes time to apply your gel or traditional nail polish. This will be applied once your nail tech has shaped your toenails and maintained your cuticle.

If you're planning to paint your nails at home, we recommend following the usual pedicure prep steps - so cleaning and exfoliating your feet before hand. Then trim and shape your toenails and apply two to three coats of your chosen nail polish, following up with a glossy top coat to get Victoria's glowing finish and also help prevent chips.

So we're always on the lookout for blushers that can add a natural flush to the face, to help you look less tired and more alive (there's already some top deals in our Memorial day sales round up). And Amal Clooney is a great source of inspiration in this respect. Her radiant, blushed and glowing cheeks were highlighted particularly well when she stepped out for the Venice International Film Festival back in September last year.

And it turns out the secret behind this beautiful makeup look was none other Charlotte Tilbury's Beauty Light Wand, which doubles as a highlighter, too. The high gloss highlighter has a weightless finish, which is ideal for gliding on mature skin, and the magic cushion applicator makes it easy to control how much product you apply.

Shop Amal's Glowy Blush

We weren't surprised to hear that Amal loves the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand and when her makeup artist, Dimitris Giannetos, broke down the glam look on his Instagram, we were delighted to learn that we use the same beauty products as an A-lister like Amal.

Getting into the details, Giannetos revealed that it was the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Beauty Light Wand in shade Pinkgasm that gave Amal's cheekbones that perfect pop of light and colour. But not only did he use the Charlotte Tilbury blusher, he created Amal's full look using only the brand's products - from the lightweight foundation to the plumping lip liner.

The Glowgasm Beauty Light Wand is an iconic Charlotte Tilbury product that is loved by both makeup fanatics all over the world, beauty experts and celebs. And it's an instant glow-boosting beauty treat that almost every member of the woman&home team has in their makeup bag.

The best-selling blush is an all-in-one tube of radiance and colour that is ideal for popping into your handbag and using when your cheeks need an instant glow.

The creamy formula of the Beauty Light Wand is so easy to blend seamlessly into the skin, bathing the complexion in pearlescent pink, if the Pinkgasm shade is the one you go for. There's plenty of others to chose from though, including pure golden tones and an even richer red in the form of Sunset.

As expected, the glamorous event mirrored the sheer and subtle 2025 nail trends so far. Indeed, many stars opted for simple neutral nail designs to complement their designer gowns, as opposed to a statement clashing hue. Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, broke the mould with a dramatic but no less expensive-looking wash of glossy black.

The manicure also featured one of this season's most popular nail lengths, and is inspiring us to ditch traditional spring nail colours, as well as the summer shades beginning to emerge.

Why Nicole Kidman's black nails signal a chic summer ahead

The first thing that endeared us to Kidman's choice of manicure was how it perfectly contrasted with her attire. The actor attended the 2025 Kering Women In Motion Awards (as part of the Cannes Film Festival) on May 18th, wearing a full-length red lace gown. The brightness of the red allowed her black manicure to stand out, but given that red and black are such a classic pairing, it didn't detract or look out of place.

We'd say her manicure serves as a reminder of just how chic darker shades like burgundy, red and of course, black are - especially amongst a sea of milky pinks and subtle nudes - and can always be relied upon to elevate an outfit.

Another detail we loved about her manicure, which was created by celebrity manicurist Ami Streets, was the length. Short nails are very on-trend right now and offer a versatility and subtlety to a look, even when said nail look is a rich, glossy black. Kidman's nails are eye-catching but not excessively so, thanks to their neat shape.

A black manicure is the perfect juxtaposition of timeless and modern. And interestingly, Kidman isn't the only A-lister to sport a black manicure this season, which makes us think we'll be seeing more of the moody hue well into the summer months too.

Recreate Nicole Kidman's black manicure

Alas, we don't know the exact nail polish Kidman wore, but we have done some sleuthing on nail artist Ami Streets' Instagram account and found that OPI nail colours have previously been used to paint Kidman's talons. So, we included one of our favourite shades below, as well as one of essie's nail polishes and an effective, high-shine top coat.

If you're keen to recreate Kidman's look at home, we've rounded up three essentials to add to your kit, but also a few application tips.

The key to achieving a really luxe and professional-looking black manicure is shine. So, we would recommend investing in an ultra-glossy clear top coat - like essie's Gel Couture top coat or the NAILKIND Mr Volume Plumping top coat. Also, when applying your choice of black nail polish, two to three coats are best to avoid streaks and achieve that glossy, midnight finish.

As happens every spring and summer, makeup trends have taken a turn towards more natural makeup looks. That means embracing the best lightweight foundations, sun-kissed bronzers and shining highlighters to help give skin a lovely glow without too much weight.

Looking for the perfect summer blush inspiration? JLo's 'sunset blush' trick she debuted back in 2024 is ideal for a sweet sheen of color.

It's no surprise that Lopez loves this makeup hack - as does our digital beauty editor, Fiona McKim, who says, "When it comes to beauty techniques, I'll have what JLo's having - regardless of what said technique is. While using two different shades of blush sounds a bit 'extra', the trick is in the blend. Use a large, fluffy brush to swish away at the join between the two powders, going back and forth in a windscreen wiper motion, to ensure a seamless, beautiful finish."

Shop Summer Blush Shades

The sunset blush look is created by using two shades of blusher, placing a pink tone on the cheekbone and an orange shade just below it on the hollows of your cheek, blending it together to create an ombré effect.

You can then add a swipe of highlighter to the high point of your cheekbone for an added shine if you'd like a pop of glittery sheen, or you can just leave the color to speak for itself.

The resulting look is what gives the trick its name, with a wash of blended, ombré-like color that emulates the look of a sunset sitting across your skin - who wouldn't want the beautiful scene of an orange sun turning the sky pink as it slips below the horizon sitting on their cheeks?

Sunset blush looks tend to be worn with minimal other makeup, with the summer-ready feel playing into the no makeup makeup trends we see in the warmer seasons. You can compliement it with a simple eyeshadow look of shimmering champagne or a light-toned pink to really tie in the shade, with a glossy neutral nude lipstick bringing some subtle color to your lips.

But, while minimal makeup is all about a light hand and, well, minimal makeup, you don't need to hold back when it comes to applying the blusher. Whether you're using a cream or a powder formula, apply your blush in light layers, but don't be afraid to build it up as the style is meant to recreate what skin would look out after a day out in the sun; sunkissed thanks to the orange toned blusher, and flushed with heat thanks to the pink.

When it comes to applying the blusher, many people choose to go for a cream blush product as it tends to blend a little easier and make creating the ombré effect more simple. However, it's easily done with a powder too; just start with a small amount and build it up slowly.

JLo brought her blush onto the apples of her cheeks, sweeping it right up to her temples in a technique called 'draping.' This placement focuses on keeping the blusher high on the face, with the sweeping look giving the illusion of more chiselled cheekbones without relying on contouring to create the same look.

If you're unsure of where to start with the rest of your makeup look when trying out this trick, there's no better look to recreate than JLo's. She finished off her style with a stunning glossy peach lip, a simple, thin line of brown eyeliner that added drama to the eye without darkening it or closing it up, and some fluttery lashes tied everything together.

So far, the 2025 hair trends have focused on natural texture, from bouncy curls to soft, barely-there waves (or ghost waves, as they've been dubbed), as well as tailored pixie cuts and face-framing fringes. Updos, however, have not had much of a look-in. Thankfully, red carpet events are a rich source of new ideas for swept-back styles - perhaps for a similarly formal occasion or just to keep our hair out of our faces.

Alas, these looks are usually complicated, having been created by professional hairstylists and all. However, Julianne Moore's stylish 'do at Cannes offers a welcome reprieve as it's simple, sleek and perfect for short hair...

Why Julianne Moore's sleek ponytail is perfect for summer events

For her appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 18th, Julianne Moore paired a sophisticated, one-shoulder back gown with statement silver drop earrings and a sleek updo.

From the front, it looks as though Moore has her signature copper hair secured into a classic low bun, but from the back, we can see that it's actually a tidy and slightly unexpected short ponytail. This choice feels fresh and modern compared to a meticulously pinned updo, while the smooth finish also complements the simple lines of her gown.

The look, which was created by a hairstylist Owen Gould, is refreshingly straightforward and a great option for the summer months, especially if you've got short hair (perhaps you've opted for a collarbone bob, let's say, but are stuck on styling).

It sweeps all the hair out of your face, which is ideal in the heat, and looks polished with very minimal effort involved. With the pony being secured at the nape of the neck, it also feels very elevated (ironic, considering it's lower placement) and refined compared to a classic ponytail, perhaps because we're so used to the latter.

Recreate Julianne Moore's look

This style of ponytail works for both long and short, shoulder-length hair. If you have a fringe or curtain bangs, though, you may need to pin your bangs back or opt for a slightly higher ponytail to ensure every strand is secured.

As for recreating the look, Moore's front strands are sectioned into a middle parting, while the rest has been brushed back into the pony. We would recommend investing in a pintail comb (like this Denman comb, at Amazon) to help you create precise lines.

Working in stages is best for this look. Begin by separating out the front portion of your hair (to create the middle parting) before gathering and securing the rest at the nape of your neck, to form the bulk of your low ponytail. Then create that clean middle parting with your front strands and smooth them back, securing them into the rest of your low ponytail.

We suggest using a smoothing styling cream to ensure there are no flyaways and that you achieve a similar glamorous sheen to Moore's.

So I was all ears when she revealed how she gets that your-skin-but-better look with just two products and a light hand. In a video filmed in back in 2023, she lifted the lid on her beauty bag and gave some much-wanted insight into her routine.

Considering how glowing her complexion always is, I assumed she'd offer a recommendation for the best lightweight foundation or convince me to buy some very expensive skincare. So I was shocked to find she simply uses what she described as a 'finger brush' that she uses to blend out 'the best concealer' and get a light coverage and glowy finish to her skin - plus, I could buy both for a modest price.

Speaking about Glossier's Stretch Balm Concealer and the Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Concealer brush, Sienna said, "Oh this is the best concealer, and I use that with something that my makeup artist Wendy got for me, which is the best thing I've ever been given - it's a Pat McGrath finger brush.

"It feels like a finger, and I really do all of my makeup and skincare with my hands - until I was given this, and now I use it for everything at the same time. It's a fantastic brush."

As much as I love getting glammed up and trying out new makeup looks, I've never really mastered the art of knowing what brush to use and when. It's why, like Sienna it seems, I'm a fan of using my hands as much as possible when it comes to my makeup and skincare. But this 'finger' brush might have converted me.

Incredibly versatile, Sienna mentions in the video that she uses the brush not only for concealer but other makeup application too, like eyeshadow. When you're spending any amount on a new makeup item, it's nice to know that you can use it for a multitude of things, so my ears pricked up.

As woman&home's Beauty Channel Editor, Fiona McKim agrees it's worth finding a brilliant brush or two for your kit, even if you are a fan of no makeup makeup looks, using minimal products, or, like me, prefer to use your fingers.

"Using the right tool for the job can make the difference between a passable face of makeup and a professional-standard one," says Fiona. "I'm not surprised this one's a corker. Pat McGrath is a legendary makeup artist with decades of experience, so she knows her stuff about what shape and texture of bristle works best with particular products. The dense, flat top here will lay down concealer without dispersing it into nothingness, while the narrow edge can get right into tricky spots like the side of the nose and corners of the eyes."

As for Sienna's Glossier Stretch Concealer, there's nothing not to like. Boasting a buildable coverage that can be used to conceal everything from dark circles to blemishes and redness, it has a dewy, glowy finish that feels lightweight and looks natural after being blended out.

"I have been using this concealer for years - not only as a concealer but also as a foundation," one reviewer on Sephora's website said. "It is moisturizing so on drier skin days it works perfectly and it never accentuates flaky skin. I honestly can't live without it!"

If you're after more beauty reccomendations from Sienna, see the full contents of her beauty bag in the video below:

No matter your skin tone, when summer rolls around, we all want to get out in the sun and let it work its magic in warming us up and tanning our skin. But it comes at a price; sun burn, dark spots, sun damage. So what do we do? Of course, we want to slather on a generous layer of facial SPF and keep reapplying throughout the day. And we can always rely on the best self tans to perk things up for us. But on the delicate skin of our faces, we can't always trust it not to break us out or go patchy on dry skin.

Enter Sienna Miller with the solution. Even in the dark days of winter, she seems to be tanned with that just-back-from-vacation glow about her. And now we know how she does it, as her makeup artist shared a snap of Sienna getting ready to Instagram story and right there on her bathroom vanity sat the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops.

And it's not just Sienna who's impressed by this product; our beauty editor, Fiona McKim, gives it a glowing recommendation too. "D-Bronzi is a hugely - and deservedly - popular tanner that's pretty unique on the market. Most tanning products take a good few hours to develop, which requires a level of forward-planning I can't always implement. These can be chucked on last-minute like makeup, but unlike most powdery bronzers, they give a sheered-out, juicy and subtle glow that's especially flattering on dry skin. Thank the sophisticated skincare-packed formula for that, as you'd expect from Drunk Elephant."

Sienna's Glowing Complexion Secrets

While some were rightly taken in by Sienna herself as she posed for a photo in the bathroom mirror, we were more drawn in by the array of makeup and skincare products scattered around the marble countertop. Immediately, though, we were grabbed by the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops sitting pride of place with their cap off, proving that Sienna had just used them to add a fresh-faced and bronzed glow to her flawless makeup.

The bronzing drops can be used in a multitude of ways to add a sun-kissed glow to your complexion, with the one rule being that you want to mix them with another skincare or makeup product before applying them as they're incredibly concentrated and pigmented. On makeup free days, you can mix a few drops into your serum, sunscreen or best moisturizer and then apply as usual, or add some to your favorite skin tint or lightweight foundation for a bronzier hue to your usual shade.

Not only does it act like sun rays in a bottle, similar to the best instant tan, the drops also give skin a gorgeous, lit-from-within glow thanks to the skin-loving ingredients the product is formulated with. While chronopeptide and vitamin F work to replenish skin and support a healthy skin barrier, a mix of antioxidants protect against pollution and environmental stressors, so your skin can feel as good as it looks.

The bronzing drops also have the added benefit of year-round use. As well as applying them in the summer to bring a tanned glow to your face (in place of stepping out without any sun protection just for a tan), you can keep using them throughout the seasons so you always have a luxe, glowing complexion.

The drops aren't the only Drunk Elephant glow-booster Sienna uses and her glowing skin is given even more of a healthy sheen and shine thanks to her also using the brand's Goldi drops. Alongside her go-to perfector for glowing skin, Charlotte Tilbury's cult-loved Flawless Filter, Drunk Elephant's Goldi drops were also spotted in the Instagram story. Unlike the bronzing drops, this product will not add a rich tanned look to the skin but instead bring in a glowy highlight and healthy sheen. Mix a few drops in with your moisturizer or foundation for a glowing finish, then add even more shine by dabbing some extra onto your cheekbones.

Sienna isn't the only fan of the Bronzi drops, they're a much loved product that has gone viral online and shoppers love the life-giving effect they have on skin. "D-Bronzi by Drunk Elephant gives my skin a really natural, healthy-looking glow without making it feel oily or sticky," one shopper said. They added, "I usually mix a drop or two into my moisturizer, and it just makes me look more awake and refreshed. It’s become a go-to for days when I want a little warmth without wearing a full face of makeup." Clearly, they're a good alternative to the best fake tan for the face if you want instant-yet-wash-off results.

The Goldi drops are similarly loved, with one shopper saying, "These drops are a lifesaver when my skin looks tired. Just a couple drops mixed with my base or moisturizer give that soft, lit-from-within glow. No visible shimmer, just healthy radiance. Love that you can control the intensity!"

Another said, " This product works wonders for my skin so far. It brightens up my skin and makes me look so glowy which I love. I also recommend putting it on your collarbones for extra glow!"

It seems like there's a new nail trend every week, from practical yet elegant short squoval nails to stunning spring manicures that incorporate tonnes of beautiful pastel colors. But throughout them all, in 2025 we've definitely been seeing a new focus on simple and fresh nail styles that lean on more neutral and muted shades that are super versatile, clean and understated.

Subtly glamorous, the prevailing styles highlight pretty pinks that are given a stunningly glossy finish with high-shine top coats to get a healthy-looking and natural feel. In line with this fresh, clean and natural look, the style has been named as 'soap nails' to reflect the freshly scrubbed and washed look.

It's part of a larger movement in the beauty space, mirroring the healthy hair movement and no makeup makeup trends that have been taking off in recent months. The new focus is on achieving a healthy look by caring for skin, hair and nails, rather than trying to fake it with product. And this is what the new pretty pink manicure is all about too - and now Victoria Beckham has made the chic, effortlessly elegant style her new signature, we're going to be seeing it everywhere.

Get Victoria Beckham's Pink Manicure Look In 3 Steps

For those looking to recreate Victoria's signature soapy talons for themselves, we've rounded up a few staple nailcare products that are set to make a worthy addition to any minimalist manicure lover's collection.

The polished, sleek and fresh look feels very 'Victoria,' with the manicure perfectly playing into her refined and elegant approach to fashion, makeup and hair styling too. Just look at her mirror selfie! With a slicked back bun oozing sophistication, the clean soap nails look ties in brilliantly.

The brilliance of her manicure style is not only its versatility - and it is incredibly versatile, with the pink effortlessly mixing and matching with sharp, tailored power suit outfits for a clean finishing touch, while it works just as well with ultra-feminine spring dress ensembles to give a sweet flair. But the nail style is also a great one as its super easy to recreate at home with just a few products.

Don't be overwhelmed by the many different pink nail shades out there on their market. Narrow down your options by highlighting the shades that skew more neutral than berry-pink - think more creamy white and pastel pink than bright and bold.

Before you go in with any polish, you want to prep the nails with one of the best nail strengtheners or a base coat that's going to create a healthy-looking shine. This sheer wash of gloss may feel a little bit redundant as you're going to put a color polish over the top, but, as well as making your manicure last longer, it's also going to create a smooth base for your polish to glide over as it gives that fresh, shining finish to your nails.

If you already have healthy, pink-toned nail beds (lucky you!), then you might choose to skip adding a color polish and simply use a nail perfecting base coat and a high-gloss top coat to get Victoria's look. But, for a pretty pink look, swiping two thin layers of a pink nail polish on will create a subtle and glam look.

Lock everything in with a super glossy top coat and you're done! Remember to moisturise your nails and hands with the best hand creams and cuticle oil to keep your nails looking healthy, your skin feeling fresh and to help tackle dry knuckles so your nails can really shine.

Whenever Jennifer Aniston posts behind-the-scenes snaps of herself out-and-about to Instagram, we're blown away by her effortlessly flawless and sun-kissed complexion. Her glowing skin is something we always want to recreate and, luckily for us, Jen has been generous with her makeup tips and skincare prep details in the past.

One of the standout products that helps her achieve such a stunning look is the Clé de Peau Beauté concealer, which is a flawless, full-coverage concealer that's infused with SPF, making it ideal for the summer months.

"If I could only have five makeup products in my makeup bag, they would be mascara, lip balm, a good lipstick – I like Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in Penelope Pink – Clé de Peau Beauté concealer and a rollerball of one of my fragrances so I can reapply on the go," she told Marie Claire Australia.

The Clé de Peau Beauté concealer is a powerhouse makeup product from the French brand, boasting hundreds of five-star reviews on the Nordstrom website. Boasting a full coverage finish with a lightweight feel, it works to seamlessly conceal and correct dark spots, under-eye circles and blemishes.

The radiant finish is likely why Jen loves the concealer so much, with it hydrating skin and leaving a dewy sheen, rather than drying out delicate areas around the eyes and leaving creases. Plus, with SPF 27, you're protected from skin damage and harmful UV rays.

"This is the only concealer that actually addresses my very dark under-eye circles on my pale skin," wrote one product fan on the Nordstrom site, before adding, "I find that using your finger to apply adds just enough warmth to spread it nicely. It also makes a nice highlighter and eyeshadow primer."

Another said, "Great coverage, good that it has SPF, great colors blend very well. Last all day, I used a translucent setting powder to set the concealer."

While a third added, "I adore this concealer. It works so well for spot concealing. I'll use it over acne or rosacea and it covers so nicely without looking too heavy."

Of course, good makeup always starts with good prep and Jen has more than a few more tricks up her sleeve when it comes to skincare. Before the 2021 Emmys, the former Friends star posted a picture of herself wearing a sheet mask by the brand 111Skin to hydrate and get that lit-from-within glow before applying her makeup.

Jen's also said to be a fan of the Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizing Face & Neck Night Cream, which is a refreshingly affordable product under $20, according to reporting from HELLO!.

We're always going to be taking notes from Jen's glowing makeup and, with the added bonus of sun protection and a longwear formula, her concealer is certainly on our wish list.

We're always on the hunt for the best perfume deals out there, but there are some celebrity- and royal-approved scents that are so luxurious, we don't mind paying full price for them.

Jo Malone products are the epitome of luxury yet don't come with the highest price tags we've ever seen, which is always a bonus. And they have a lot of choice when it comes to scents, so sussing out which are the best Jo Malone perfumes can be hard if you've never had one in your fragrance collection before - so it's nice when there's one we know has star (or in this case, royal) approval.

The Jo Malone Orange Blossom fragrance is Kate Middleton's staple scent. In fact, she is said to love so much that she not only wore it on her wedding day but also had the candle version of the scent burning throughout the ceremony as she and Prince William tied the knot at London's Westminster Abbey back in April 2011.

We can see why Kate adores the Orange Blossom perfume. It boasts a fresh, citrusy and floral scent that is ideal for spring and summer. Notes of bittersweet Petitgrain balance out the formula, while fruity and rich middle notes of Osmanthus Blossom and warming base notes of Cashmere Wood bring in a luxe touch that grounds the perfume.

It's a luxe-smelling scent that's ideal for taking your fragrance collection to the next level, and our beauty editor, Fiona McKim, agrees, "Jo Malone London fragrances tend to be classically British with a modern twist, so it's no surprise to me that Orange Blossom reportedly has a royal admirer. It's simple and elegant, with just enough citrus 'zip' to feel bang-on for warmer months - no wonder it's one of the brand's biggest selling fragrances of all time."

The Princess of Wales isn't the only fan of this perfume. Since Jo Malone introduced it back in 2003, it has remained a bestseller and, with Kate's stamp of approval, we can't see it going anywhere anytime soon.

Jo Malone is a perfume brand with many celebrity and royal fans, such as Poppy Delevingne, Karen Elson, Kate Moss and Meghan Markle. Of course, fragrance is a personal choice, so below are some alternative scents from the brand to consider.

We all know the age-old makeup rule; if you go bold with your lips, it's often best to pare down your eye makeup. But even for all our woes with a red lip, we can't deny that the best red lipstick never fails to look chic and timeless. So how do we pull off the look? Helen Mirren has the key - and her simple trick is so easy to do and will work no matter what shade or lipstick formula you love.

The actor wore a raspberry-red lip recently, and it was Mirren's trick of adding a glossy finish to the lipstick rather than the often-touted matte finish that really made it pop. Gloss formulas also tend to be more forgiving, nourishing and low-maintenance, so are ideal for spring and daytime makeup looks, or when suffering from slightly dry lips. We'll be copying her style all season long.

Helen Mirren's glossy twist on a berry-red lip for spring

Becoming the human embodiment of a luxe Cartier ring box, the actor stepped out in a long, red velvet dress and matching hairband for the CARTIER VIP Private View at London's V&A Museum on April 9th. She accessorized the look with a chic pearl necklace and a glowy makeup look, complete with a shiny berry-red lip that matched her coordinating attire.

In the past, we've seen Mirren sport a vast selection of stunning red lip makeup looks, but she has always tended to go for a more matte finish with a true red shade. For many formal events, this look is always a great, timeless option. But there's something so glamorous and daytime-appropriate about this raspberry-tinted, glossy iteration that makes the bright tone feel more approachable - even for those of us who have always avoided the shade.

Looking to Helen, it seems that her key to pulling off any bright, berry-red shade is to go for a lipstick formula that's comfortable, balm-like and boasts a lovely, shining finish. These types of lipsticks and tinted lip balms tend to be more forgiving and, unlike a matte formula, which has an annoying tendency to cling to every crack and dry patch, will leave lips looking shiny and hydrated as well as flushed with color.

This also has the added bonus of being far easier to apply and, how could we forget, perfectly ties into the more lightweight and low-maintenance makeup trends we see in spring and summer.

We're also of the opinion that a glossy lip has the power to enhance the rest of your makeup. You can go very natural and subtle with the rest of your face but that shine will still draw the eye and add that sense of glamor. Equally, wearing a more sheer or glossy red formula on your lips, as opposed to a very bold, matte red will also allow you to go bigger with your eye makeup. All in all, there's more versatility there.

The only potential drawback is longevity. You may find that your glossy lipstick needs to be reapplied more, but that is a small price to pay for a nourishing and gleaming pout. You can also layer your chosen gloss over one of the best lip liners, to boost its staying power - or to offer your lips some tint if your glossy top coat does begin to disappear.

Speaking of which, we have three such lipsticks in mind that will help you replicate Mirren's look perfectly.

Recreate Helen Mirren's glossy red lip

To get a really perfected, celeb-worthy finish with your lipstick, you want to focus on preparing the skin for makeup - your lips will thank you. First, you want to use a lip scrub to remove any dry, chapped skin and follow up with a nourishing lip balm to hydrate for supple, silky lips all day long.

If you're running late - and aren't we always? - opting for a more forgiving lipstick like Helen's glossy berry-red one means your lips will be left looking and feeling a lot more hydrated than they would be with a matte lipstick. But like with applying skincare before makeup, prep is key.

For a more lasting look, apply a complementing lip liner to the edges of your lips - or all over, depending on your preference - before adding your glossy red shade overtop. We would then recommend carrying your shiny lipstick in your handbag, in case you need to reapply on-the-go.

Aside from her sun-kissed tan, her arms and décolletage boasted an enviable lit-from-within sheen. So naturally, we made it our mission to uncover what exactly had created such an effect - be it one of the best bronzers or hydrating moisturisers.

The search came to a close when Aniston's makeup artist, Angela Levin, took to Instagram to reveal that she used only one product to get that stunning glow – and naturally it went into our shopping basket immediately.

The luxe perfumed body oil behind Jennifer Aniston's radiant awards look

So what is this magic potion, we hear you ask? Well, it could never have been anything but the classic and timeless Chanel No.5 The Body Oil...

Jen's entire Emmy look was created using Chanel products, with her MUA Angela Levin sharing a full breakdown of the products behind everything from her lipstick (Coco Rouge in Mademoiselle) to her body oil.

And while we might not have any red carpet events lined up, we certainly want to be emulating Jen's glowing and shining skin this summer for any and every occasion, so her body oil is a must.

Retailing at $140 for 8.4 fl oz, you'd be forgiven for dismissing this body oil as an unnecessary purchase. You might already have a host of moisturizers that hydrate your skin and a collection of the best long-lasting perfumes to spritz on some scent before leaving the house. But Chanel's The Body Oil is a step above the rest.

It's a true, multi-tasking product that not only nourishes the skin for a glowing, hydrated and gleaming look, but it also doubles up as a stunning designer perfume too, softly scenting the skin with the iconic floral bouquet of - you guessed it - Chanel No.5.

If you do already have the iconic No.5 perfume and wear it religiously, then this scented body oil is about to become your new go-to. Layer the scent in parfum or toilette form over the oil to enhance the scent and its longevity. Many of Chanel's perfumes are available in body oil, hair mist and lotions for this very purpose.

Or you can always wear the oil on its own to get a two-in-one hit of nourishment and sweet-smelling scent. This is ideal if you prefer subtle aromas or are pressed for time (or indeed space in your beauty bag) and want to both hydrate and scent your skin in one easy step.

The merits of a fragranced body oil are plentiful but it's Jen's gorgeous glow above all else that has us considering this particular buy. You don't have to opt for her exact Chanel scent if the notes aren't your favorites, there are plenty of other scented body oils out there to try.

Our other go-to scented body oil picks

That's why you'll find us turning to red carpets to serve up a lineup of 2025 hair trends and styling inspiration. Thankfully, Emilia Fox's BAFTAs hairdo did exactly the trick, pairing the popular laser-cut bob trend of late last year with soft, barely-there waves - the epitome of spring hair styling.

Whether you're looking for new ways to style your short strands or want to adapt the look to lengthier cuts, this beachy style is not only easy and quick to achieve, but also gives the effect of having spent time in a salon chair. We're taking notes.

Why Emilia Fox's curled bob is all the short hair inspiration we need

Stepping out on London's sunny Southbank on May 11th 2025, Emilia Fox embodied springtime as she took to the BAFTAs red carpet sporting a peach-hued floral gown and a coordinating lipstick to match. While we certainly took notes of the actress's ensemble, it was her chic hair styling that really caught our eye.

The look in question saw the actress' ultra-short, chin-grazing blonde locks styled with a soft beachy wave that delicately framed Fox's face. Not to mention, the strands were full of body and bounce, which gave the hairdo a fuller appearance.

Artist in residence at Billi Currie and International Creative Colour Director at evo Hair, Tom Smith predicted barely-there waves to be one of the biggest hair trends of the upcoming season, whether to elevate a bob or tailored to suit longer hairstyles. Plus, Emilia isn't the only A-lister to adopt this trend for spring; we've also seen the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker sport the 'undone' hairstyle in recent weeks.

Emilia Fox's curled bob styling staples

Want to get in on the action and replicate Emilia Fox's chic bob? We've rounded up three essentials to add to your hairstyling collection and achieve the effortless look.

Applying mascara can be transformative - whether you're applying the best natural-looking mascara to get a subtle, eye-enhancing effect, or you're slathering on the best mascaras for short lashes to finish off a dramatic, eye-catching eyeshadow look. No matter what makeup style we like, we all want a clump-free, long-lasting mascara that we can rely on day and night.

Enter Gillian Anderson and her go-to product, L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara, whose staying power she says is 'unbelievable.' Not only does it last all day long, and look good from morning to night, she says she sometimes even sleeps in the drugstore pick and still wakes up with perfect lashes.

woman&home's Digital Beauty Writer Sennen Pricket isn't so keen on sleeping in mascara, but she can't deny any lashes coated in L'Oréal would stand up while you sleep.

She says: "While I certainly wouldn’t recommend sleeping in your mascara as Gillian suggests (knowing how to remove mascara effectively is a must before heading to bed), a long-lasting mascara can be a gem on busy days or for special occasions.

"A quality long-lasting mascara will stay put throughout the day, without succumbing to smudging, flaking or transferring. I have tried an array of L’Oréal mascaras, with L’Oréal Telescopic and L’Oréal Paradise Big Deal being some of my absolute favorites, many of which have become some of my go-to options thanks to their stellar formulas and affordable price tags."

During an interview with Vogue, Gillian revealed that, as is true for many of us, mascara is the one makeup item she could never go without. And her preferred mascara? That's the refreshingly affordable Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara by L’Oréal Paris.

"I don’t feel like my eyes are my eyes unless they’ve got something on them," she said.

"I’ve been using the L’Oréal Paris Volume Million Lashes Panorama one, it’s unbelievable.”

The drugstore mascara has a brilliant multi-layered brush to make sure that each and every lash is coated, while the bristles help to fan out lashes and avoid any clumping. Catching the smallest lashes from the inner corner of the eye right to the very outer lashes, you're left with tonnes of volume and an enhancing, eye-opening effect that's super fluttery and filled with drama.

Opt for one coat of mascara for a more natural look in the daytime, or layer up the jet black formula to transition into a more sultry, evening style.

Smudge and clump-resistant, you can trust that this mascara will keep your lashes looking lifted all day long - and for even longer if you sleep in the mascara like Gillian says she 'sometimes' does.

“It’s awful," she said of her habit of sleeping in the mascara. "But I know that I can just apply another layer [when I wake up] and it won’t clump!”

In our experience, finding one of the best face moisturisers that works for your skin type is akin to finding your signature scent. It's there for you every morning and night; be it to prep your skin for makeup or give it some TLC after a long day, it always has a spot in your travel bag and is your first line of defence against the elements. Thus, finding that perfect, nourishing formula is not to be underestimated.

Luckily for Sarah Jessica Parker - and those seeking a new daily cream - she found her 'forever' favourite amongst La Roche Posay's collection. She's quoted as saying as much, which truly speaks to its effectiveness and makes us more than a little bit interested...

The £22 moisturiser Sarah Jessica Parker has been using 'forever'

Having already informed our choice of spring nail colour with her chic liquorice manicure, it seems Sarah Jessica Parker may also be guiding our next skincare purchase, after learning that she's been using the same face cream for years.

Speaking to Today in 2018, Parker revealed that the secret behind her fresh and glowy complexion is none other than the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Fluid - an iteration of which is ranked among the best La Roche-Posay products.

When quizzed about her favourite skincare product, the Sex And The City star said: "I only have one. It’s the only moisturiser I’ve used forever. It’s just La Roche-Posay fluid. That’s it. It’s amazing. It’s very thin, so you can use it to touch yourself up. It’s great."

Now, of course, since 2018, she may have added a few more lotions and potions to her list of favourites, but to have been classed as such a staple in her routine is quite the selling point in itself. As for the formula, this cream is lightweight and features a minimalistic lineup of ingredients to reduce the risk of sensitivity.

Aside from being ultra-calming, Parker's go-to moisturiser is refreshingly affordable, unlike many celeb-loved products, and costs just £22. There's also the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Fluid, which offers up to 48 hours of hydration to sensitive skin. The latter received a rave, five-star review in our beauty team's La Roche Posay guide for its ability to offer 'instant' relief to sore and struggling skin.

Now, if you're already a fan of the Toleraine line but are looking to perhaps extend your French skincare collection or array of moisturisers, the Cicaplast Baume B5 is also a team favourite - as is the Toleriane Dermallergo Night Cream. Perhaps one could become your forever cream too?

Best known for being a fashion icon, Kate's good taste extends far beyond her wardrobe. Now, it seems, we can impart her advice into another aspect of our lives: our best long-lasting perfume collections. There's one scent that Kate Moss relies upon for a luxe and memorable impression.

So, if you're struggling to hone in on a fragrance amongst the plethora of best perfumes for women, why not take a few cues from the model - and the aroma she once told the Evening Standard she 'wouldn’t leave the house without'?

The chic Kate Moss-approved perfume to add to your summer rotation

For many of us, our favourite violet perfume or skin scent is as crucial to our morning routines as putting on a bra or brushing our teeth. It feels downright wrong to leave the house without a few sprays of our signature - a sentiment shared by fashion icon, Kate Moss.

Sharing her beauty staples with the Evening Standard in 2018, Moss wrote: "I wouldn’t leave the house without scent on," before citing one of her favourites as Serge Lutens Fleurs D’Oranger Eau de Parfum.

Moss' go-to is a traditional eau de parfum and offers more of a floral impact, with elegant notes of orange blossom, jasmine and white rose. Serge Lutens as a brand, is known for its luxe perfumes - even offering a trendy milk perfume in its lineup - and this refined flowery number is no exception and is sure to be a hit with fellow floral fragrance fans.

The scent is ideal for elevating and expanding your scent collection - and to push the blend even further, be sure to brush up on where to spray perfume, to ensure it really clings to the skin. Though we doubt that will be an issue with these, as Moss quipped: "A couple of sprays and I’m done."

Many of us are on the hunt for the best fake tans for mature skin that will deliver a 'just got back from holiday' glow, without going streaky or vibrantly orange – we've all been there, right? But one well-known celebrity who always has an effortlessly bronzed glow is Jennifer Aniston.

Though the actress has previously mentioned that she naturally tans well in the sun, she said in an interview with Redbook: "I like the L'Oréal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes. They're great."

While Jennifer's tan always looks great, the actress showed how even she can fall victim to a tanning disaster. During filming for the third season of her Apple TV series, The Morning Show, she posted a hilarious self-tanning mishap that she experienced.

Posting to her Instagram, the actress shared a video of her getting her fake tan scrubbed off by a production member. With one leg up on the sink, the actress says: "Note to self, hands and feet you must lotion before a spray tan, otherwise...a situation." We've been there, Jen.

In terms of what to know before fake tan for a successful session, moisturising the skin two hours prior to completing your tanning routine is the golden (no pun intended) rule to an effortless sun-kissed glow. In order to avoid stubborn fake tan disasters. We asked tanning expert, James Harknett for the best tips on how to fake tan like a pro, so we can ensure a streak-free result free from tanning mistakes every time.

“If you’re new to self tanning, try to make the actual tanning as easy as possible by opting for a product with a guide colour,” Harknett told woman&home. Another great tip, and one of our personal favourites, is opting for one of the best gradual tan formulas for a less intense approach to fake tanning.

Whether you're applying self tan at home, like one of the best instant tans, or getting a professional spray tan, James stresses the importance of prepping your skin: “Exfoliate the morning or evening before the tanning process, as this will allow your colour to develop to its darkest on the skin.” He also recommends sticking to simple moisturisers that will nourish your skin, or ones that are specifically formulated for use before self tanning.

With the warmer weather rapidly approaching, I've been after a lightweight moisturiser for a while, and Sienna has just convinced me to try this wonder product she thinks so highly of.

I made a resolution to carve out some more me-time in 2025 where I can look after my skin and improve my beauty routine - and with the woman&home beauty team raving about the best Charlotte Tilbury products, and our editor saying that the Magic Cream is 'the best face cream' she's ever used, of course I took Sienna Miller's advice and bought the bestselling moisturiser while it's on sale.

Sienna called Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream a 'miracle product' in the makeup tutorial she did on the brand's YouTube channel earlier this year, and then went on to say, "I actually remember the days before Charlotte had her brand and she would mix up Magic Cream and stick it on our faces. So when this became available to buy, I think a lot of us were very, very excited.

"It's an amazing product. It's so good! It smells so good - it smells elegant and fresh. [It's] a big drink for the skin [and] it's the best prep for underneath makeup."

The cream promises to be an all-rounder that retexturises, smooths, firms, plumps and primes the skin in just one step, which is great for me as I need my skincare routine to be simple or I simply won't be bothered to do it! But just because it's quick to apply, that doesn't mean the cream is any less effective. It's packed full of anti-aging, hydrating, and youth-boosting ingredients that lift skin for a firmer appearance, soothe the look of tired skin, and it's also clinically proven to help boost your skin barrier!

"While I've not tried the Magic Cream itself, I'm a sucker for anything with hyaluronic acid in it for that much-needed hit of hydration on my very dry, flaky skin," says woman&home's Beauty eComm Editor, Aleesha Badkar. "The addition of peptides is also important for smoothing and firming the skin, while vitamin E will calm. And while it's probably not the best vitamin C product out there, the small amount of this powerhouse ingredient will aid slow exfoliation to lead to clearer and brighter skin.

"If you do want a bigger dose of vitamin C, I would pair this with the brand's new Dark Spot Correcting Radiance Recovery Serum, which exfoliates skin thoroughly and helps fade dark areas of skin, without any stinging or discomfort. Its satiny texture also layers really nicely so it should sit perfectly underneath the sellout cream."

If you're not immediately sold like I was, then woman&home digital editor Kerrie Hughes is sure to change your mind with her glowing review of the product.

"I started using Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream a few months ago, and wouldn't be without it now," she says. "It feels like silk on my skin, and lifts the colour of my face and adds radiance. I love using it first thing after a thorough face wash, it makes my face feel so hydrated and soft. And makeup glides on effortlessly afterwards. The best face cream I have used to date - highly recommend."

When choosing one of best long-lasting perfumes, it can be helpful to go by recommendation, especially when the said recommendation comes from Dame Helen Mirren. And as it happens, the actor is currently enjoying a blend developed by none other than Jo Malone - who as a brand, houses several of the best perfumes for women in their collection.

The actor's go-to fragrance, though, is perhaps one Jo Malone perfume that you might not have come across, but with its warm, zingy and herbaceous notes, we'd put money on it soon being a firm favourite in your warm weather rotation.

The 'natural' and subtle Jo Malone scent Helen Mirren loves

Helen Mirren revealed in a video for Harper's Bazaar, she revealed Jo Malone's Blackberry and Bay cologne is her current go-to. She said: "My perfume, which is a Jo Malone, I love all the Jo Malone perfumes, they're wonderful. This is Blackberry and Bay - lovely."

She then went on to describe it as 'gorgeous' before adding, "You don't overpower anyone with it, they're just sort of natural, human-somehow... human perfumes, if you know what I mean? Not too heavy."

Blackberry and Bay features a minimalistic blend of juicy blackberry and subtle but aromatic bay leaves, which are then grounded by rich cedarwood, adding a warmth and intensity to the fruity top notes. It's botanical and slightly heady but as Mirren explains, in no way overpowering.

If you're someone who favours grown-up fruity perfumes or gravitates toward lingering woody notes, this could very well be the spring/summer scent you've been searching for. Equally, the Barbie star described it (and Jo Malone perfumes in general) as smelling very human, so if you're a lover of skin scents or more subtle, hard-to-pin-down fragrances, Blackberry and Bay may also strike all the right notes with you.

Plus, for $88 for 30ml (or $168 for 100ml if you're planning to make it a permanent addition to your perfume shelf) it's very affordable for such a premium-smelling scent.

In case you're already a fan of Jo Malone's Blackberry and Bay cologne or perhaps want to extend your fruity and fresh scent collection even further, we've rounded up a few other fragrances to try...

Requiring one of the best lip liners and a long-lasting lipstick, the A-list approved bold lip trend has been taking red carpets by storm this year. That said, we typically see celebrities steer clear of pairing a bright eyeshadow look with a standout lipstick shade, to avoid looking a bit too striking - a feeling many of us can relate to.

So, it was refreshing to see Diana Ross adorn a mauve pink eyeshadow and lipstick combination that not only complemented her opulent outfit but enhanced and elevated her occasion-ready look. It's safe to say, we're taking notes for our next event...

We're using Diana Ross' clever makeup trick for every upcoming occasion

The first Monday in May means one thing; the Met Gala. The highly anticipated event hosts an array of Hollywood's biggest stars year after year, and after not being in attendance for 22 years, it's only natural that Diana Ross returned to those iconic New York City steps with a bang.

The singer stepped out onto the blue carpet wearing a crystal-embellished gown, a white feather hat, an impressive 18-foot train and sporting an abundance of luxe silver jewellery.

Not to mention, she also added a pop of colour into the look with mauve pink eyeshadow and coordinating matte lipstick. While you'd think the chain reaction of all of the above would be a look that's just too much, we can all agree that it was nothing short of supreme.

We're not planning on wearing a feathered hat and jewel-encrusted floor-grazing dress anytime soon, but we're certainly taking notes of Ross' clever makeup trick, choosing cohesive undertones to complement her jewellery and outfit.

This technique involves making a considered choice when it comes to your eyeshadow and lipstick combination, to ensure it effortlessly accompanies the rest of your look instead of clashing against it.

For example, in Diana's case, she's opted for cool-toned pink hues to seamlessly enhance her silver jewellery and jewel-embellished gown. However, those opting for gold jewellery or a richer-hued outfit may benefit from a warmer-toned eyeshadow and lipstick combination, such as a rich terracotta brown.

It's a true masterclass in how to do occasion beauty and fashion without it looking too much.

For those wanting to recreate Diana Ross' enviable mauve pink makeup look from this year's Met Gala, we've found some stellar buys to add to your collection that will achieve the singer's soft, muted glam.

After years of neutral, barely-there manicures topping the ranks, one thing is for certain when it comes to the 2025 nail trends: colour is in. We're not even halfway through the year yet, and we've already seen the likes of cranberry nails and buttercup yellow gaining popularity - and it seems A-listers are on board.

Proving that exact point, Demi Moore took to the Met Gala 2025 red carpet, having swapped her usual minimalist nude nails for a timeless pillar box red manicure. The nail polish behind it all? One of the most iconic OPI nail colours of all time, and the shade couldn't be more fitting for the highly anticipated New York City-based event.

Why we're asking for Demi Moore's juicy red manicure at our next nail appointment

We're not usually given a glimpse into A-list nail appointments, but Moore's nail artist Zola Ganzorigt posted to her Instagram revealing the exact nail polish she used for Demi's Met Gala manicure - and its affordable price tag might just surprise you. Having amassed thousands of highly-rated reviews, there's a reason Demi Moore's nail polish of choice is known to be a cult classic. It isn't just any red, it's OPI's Big Apple Red.

When it comes to red carpets, we typically expect to see celebrities steer clear of standout nail designs, instead settling on neutral manicures that subtly complement the A-lister's outfit of choice. However, Demi Moore decided to switch things up for this year's Met Gala, opting for an eye-catching scarlet hue.

The manicure in question added a pop of colour to her otherwise monochrome outfit. Moore paired the vibrant red nail polish with a tapered nail shape, which gave the manicure a sense of elegance and timelessness.

However, this shade's versatile nature means the iconic hue can be easily tailored to suit a plethora of nail shapes and lengths, whether that be lengthy almond nails or short square nails.

The look was completed with an ultra-glossy top coat, which gave the manicure a salon-worthy finish. For those recreating the look at home, we'd recommend Essie's Gel Couture Top Coat for a mirror-like shine.

Looking to recreate Demi's juicy red manicure? We've racked our brains and scoured the web to seek out some stellar buys that'll do just the trick. To achieve a professional manicure from the comfort of your own home, make sure to equip your nailcare arsenal with one of the best nail strengtheners and a nourishing cuticle oil to ensure it goes the distance.

One glance at the list of 2025 hair trends will show you that short hair is very much in, from the Tinkerbell pixie cut to style-defining trims. In fact, dramatic A-list hair transformations have been nothing short of plentiful this year (we're looking at you and your chic bob, Demi Moore).

But the one cut that has risen through the ranks is the '90s banged bob. Surprisingly, Pamela Anderson is the latest Hollywood celebrity to wave goodbye to her lengthy locks by jumping onto the trend - and she's making a convincing case for switching up your hair for the spring-summer months. Don't mind us, we're just booking our hairdresser appointment to recreate the look.

Why Pamela Anderson's hair transformation is so perfect for spring

Reminiscent of last year's laser cut bob, it was predicted that the 'banged bob' (think Mia from Pulp Fiction) would prove to be a popular haircut this year - and that it is. Last night, Pamela Anderson stepped out on the highly anticipated 2025 Met Gala blue carpet, debuting the blunt, jaw-length cut in question, putting her own spin on the trend by swapping a full feathered fringe for baby bangs.

Straying from her typically lengthy blonde locks, the cut boasted a subtle, barely-there wave with flicked-out ends that grazed Anderson's chin, acting as a bell-bottom bob that perfectly framed her face for a lifted appearance. The actress's new hairdo and pared-back, flushed, glowing skin proved to be a stellar combination, allowing her standout diamond-embellished gown to take centre stage.

Recreate Pamela Anderson's chic banged bob

Whether you currently have the same haircut as Pamela, or you've been toying with the idea of switching your hair up for the warmer months, her banged bob serves as the perfect styling inspiration - and there are a few staple buys you need to recreate it.

When it comes to the best long-lasting lipsticks, a rosy pink or nude is undoubtedly versatile. But now and then, a bright hue comes in handy, especially when you want to make a seasonal statement. Speaking of which, with summer on the horizon now is the perfect time to do just that. But instead of the best red lipsticks, why not consider more of a berry hue? Moreso now Kerry Washington has sported this crushed raspberry lip on the red carpet.

This leads us to ponder, is raspberry summer 2025's update on a signature red lip? We certainly love how Washington wore it - and plan to follow suit.

Why Kerry Washington's crushed raspberry lip is perfect for summer

If you've been at a loss for how to wear a berry or magenta-pink lipstick, Kerry Washington delivered a masterclass on April 27th, 2025.

Whilst attending the Annual Atlanta Film Festival, the actor wore the vibrant shade with a very simple but radiant makeup look, courtesy of MUA, Carola Gonzalez - complete with long, fanned-out eyelashes and a hint of blush on her cheeks.

This glowy and uncomplicated approach to her base and eye products allowed for her lips to draw the eye, and for the raspberry hue to pop.

As we can see, her cool-toned lipstick coordinates perfectly with her blue and magenta dress, which is another tip to file away for the next time you wear a bold lip - match the shade with an accessory or item of clothing to create cohesion.

The rich pink-red might seem a tad daunting, but as Washington proves, it's surprisingly wearable, and she's not the only star making a case for the underrated shade. Helen Mirren also sported a glossy raspberry lip this April, so we think we're spotting the start of a trend here.

Recreate Kerry Washington's raspberry lip look

Alas, while we don't know the exact shade Washington wore, we've rounded up three chic raspberry-like lipsticks (including a few different finishes) to help you achieve a similar look.

When applying a bold lip, especially a matte formula, we recommend first prepping with a lip scrub and one of the best lip balms - to buff away dry skin and rehydrate the lips.

Using one of the best lip liners in a similar shade, before topping with your chosen lipstick, will also help to boost longevity and offer precision.

While the 2025 hair trends promised (and delivered) many a tailored fringe and bob cut, 'undone' styles, such as barely-there ghost waves, have also taken off. This influx of texture has coincided with the revival of a rather underrated parting, which, when paired together, creates the chicest of hairstyles. Side-swept hair is a timeless look and one of the easiest ways to refresh your strands without the need for a dramatic cut. As Michelle Pfeiffer's hair proves, this parting affords a sense of effortless elegance that is hard to capture in any other haircut or style.

It's that 'just run my fingers through my hair,' wind-swept effect that never ceases to elevate a look, and Pfeiffer has truly mastered it...

Why Michelle Pfeiffer's side-swept hair is the chicest 'do for summer

Attending the TCM Classic Film Festival held on April 25, where she was honoured with the Hand and Footprint Ceremony, Michelle Pfeiffer radiated effortless cool. She opted for stylish tailoring, pairing an oversized black blazer with matching trousers and a white shirt, but it was her hair that stole the show.

As we can see, her blonde style featured just the right amount of movement and tousle to complement her minimalistic outfit, with the addition of a flattering side parting. This allowed for her front strands to frame her face and add interest to the look.

Pfeiffer's side-swept hairstyle - created by celebrity stylist Richard Marin - affords volume whilst still managing to maintain that relaxed and chic, 'undone' feel. It reminds us of '90s blowouts and laid-back, expertly tousled French hairstyles, and frankly, we can't wait to emulate it this summer.

The actor's look also poses a reminder that you don't have to cut off length or add bangs to refresh and update your look. Often, a simple parting switch can be enough to change things up.

Recreate Michelle Pfeiffer's look

Texture is key for this look, so we recommend investing in one of the best hair dryer brushes - to add shape (especially if you have feathered layers) and volume, as well as smooth your stands - along with a texture spray, like Hair by Sam McKnight Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist.

A sectioning tail comb will also come in handy when parting your hair, which we suggest doing whilst your hair is damp, before blow-drying, to set stubborn strands in place.

While the 2025 nail trends have so far steered us towards some very stylish manicures, with summer fast approaching, you might be wondering which of those trendy hues to apply to your toes. Timeless pedicure colours are always a safe bet, but there's also the challenge of ensuring the hue you pick complements your mani - in case they make a joint outing. Our advice? Do as Victoria Beckham does and match them, skipping that particular hurdle altogether.

Or, better yet, request the same cherry blossom-pink shade as VB, for guaranteed versatility and elegance.

Why Victoria Beckham's pink mani-pedi is the perfect pick for sandal season

While there are no rules when it comes to choosing your manicure and pedicure colours, opting for one cohesive shade is, in our opinion, one of the easiest ways to elevate your look. Be it red or a milky white, having the same hue on both your nails and toes radiates a certain sense of intention and 'put-togetherness'.

As for which colour to choose this season, this really comes down to personal preference, though Victoria Beckham has just made a very strong case for her signature soapy pink.

Sharing all the nail inspiration we could possibly need in one Instagram post, Victoria Beckham celebrated her birthday in true style. She opted for long, almond nails, paired with a simple and fresh pastel pink for both her manicure and pedicure. As mentioned, this cool-toned pink has become something of a favourite of Beckham's, who wore the shade last summer too.

With cherry blossom-pink nails also being among this year's trending spring nail colours, this sort of petal pink is perfect for your next mani-pedi appointment. It's seasonal but simultaneously timeless, and like most neutral nail shades, it goes with every outfit, as we can see from the carousel of birthday snaps. It's minimalistic but offers just the right amount of pink colour to draw the eye. As Beckham's continued wear proves, it's such a staple to have in your wheelhouse whenever you're stuck for ideas or just need a chic and versatile look.

How to recreate Victoria Beckham's mani-pedi

If you're keen to get your hands and feet summer-ready, you can't beat booking in for professional treatments, especially if you favour long-lasting gel or BIAB nails. That said, if you like to paint your nails at home - or need to dress your feet up, fast - we've rounded up two similar petal pink shades and a glossy top coat, to recreate VB's look.

After all, there are only so many spring nail colours you can rotate before boredom inevitably sets in, much as we love lavender and milky pink (both of which are 2025 nail trends). We've been on the hunt for a contrasting manicure, and thanks to French actress, Juliette Binoche, it seems glossy black nails are the answer. Timeless and effortlessly chic, there's a reason why black, like red, is a classic nail colour and, contrary to belief, it's very easy to wear - especially paired with stylish, short nails.

So, if you're looking to rebel against the floral and neutral nail designs we're seeing everywhere, here's how to recreate Binoche's chic look, right down to the nail polish brand she wears.

Juliette Binoche says black nails are French-approved for spring

While soapy pinks have been a go-to on the red carpet this season, Binoche opted for the opposite on April 10th, pairing a leather-look skirt and olive blazer with a short and chic black manicure.

The glossy, patent-black hue perfectly complements her sophisticated attire and never fails to deliver a high-fashion, couture feel. More so when the dark colour is paired with a modern squoval or short square nail shape, which Binoche has opted for.

If you're keen to recreate the look, her nail artist Lucy Tucker shared an insight. In an Instagram post, Tucker revealed that the brand Nails.Inc was behind the glossy shade, while products from Byredo were used to hydrate the actor's hands.

Alas, we're unsure of the exact shade, but Nails.Inc do offer both gel-effect and traditional black nail polishes. As for the hand care, Byredo's Gypsy Water Hand Cream gets our vote - with its lightweight, nourishing formula and iconic scent of juniper berries, bergamot and woody notes.

Recreate Juliette Binoche's patent black nails

If you're keen to follow Binoche's stylish lead and swap pastels for a cool and edgy black manicure, we recommend opting for a similar square nail shape and applying two to three coats of polish - to achieve a streak-free finish. If your nails are feeling brittle or textured, using one of the best nail strengtheners as your base coat, pre-polish is also a good option.

Then, for a professional gel-like shine, add a clear top coat over your chosen black polish.

With the 2025 hair trends signalling a shift towards embracing and enhancing natural texture, we've seen many an effortless bob and tousled wave take centre stage. This spring, especially, piecey and barely-there bends - or Ghost Waves as they've also been dubbed - have been in high demand, with the likes of Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley all debuting takes on the look. Now, with Sarah Jessica Parker joining their ranks and putting her own cool, New York spin on it, we have a feeling this hairstyle will be sticking around well into the summer months, too. The effortlessness and apparent simplicity of her look feels so fresh and calls to us - and our inherent laziness when it comes to styling our strands.

So if you, like us, are seeking a low-maintenance but chic hairstyle to fall back on this season, here's why SJP's nonchalant waves get our vote - and how we would recommend recreating them...

Why Sarah Jessica Parker's waves are set to be our summertime go-to

Having already informed our spring nail colours (in case you missed it, Parker has ditched pastels in favour of a liquorice manicure), Sarah Jessica Parker has now supplied us with the ultimate, care-free hairstyle for the spring and summer months.

Pictured leaving the NBC Studios in New York City on April 21st, Parker radiated effortless chic in a pair of grey jeans, a classic black coat, sunglasses and of course, her hair styled in loose, softly tousled waves.

Her blonde hair featured soft S-like curves through the mid-section of her strands, which frame her face and create that coveted 'piece-y' effect whilst remaining very subtle. It offers that cool 'undone' feel, with no harsh shapes, but plenty of volume and texture. This particular style of wave is a great option if you have naturally straight her, let's say, and want to add quick interest throughout your lengths.

What endears us to this look is how easy and versatile it is. You can apply this 'piece-y' premise to short and long hair, and all you really need is one of the best straighteners or best hair wavers to pull it off.

How to recreate SJP's subtle waves

Speaking of which, we've rounded up a trio of products and tools to help you recreate Parker's tousled look.
