Little Mix may be on a hiatus, but that hasn’t stopped the girl band’s members from serving up some excellent hair and makeup looks since their Confetti tour came to an end almost a month ago.Take Jade Thirlwall, who has been switching up her usual brunette hair colour in favour of new shades lately.This past weekend the 29 year old stepped out with super long blonde hair complete with multicoloured neon sections, to attend this year’s Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell Park, London. And while she donned sunglasses and a baseball cap along with her new hair, it looks like fans still recognised her all the same.

Pixie Lott has only recently gone back to blonde after months of favouring an auburn/brunette shade.This had us wondering whether or not she’d choose to go blonde or brunette for her bridal hair look – but we now know she went right back to her roots (literally) for her wedding glam.The singer finally wed model Oliver Cheshire in a romantic Cambridgeshire ceremony yesterday (6 June) after COVID delays pushed back the couple’s nuptials two times. Pixie looked incredible in her white gown that featured a glittering sheer neckline, but it was her hair and makeup that truly stole the show for us. While many brides prefer sleek tresses or Hollywood-style waves for their bridal hair looks, Pixie opted to let her natural curly hair texture take centre stage.

We were all so focused on the Royal Box over the Platinum Jubilee weekend that we nearly forgot to look away from Kate Middleton, Pippa Middleton and Meghan Markle and into the crowd instead.There, amongst the other revellers, was Kate Moss, who arrived on a 90s-themes bus alongside the likes of Charlotte Tilbury and Naomi Campbell.The supermodel looked perfectly casual in a red, white and blue 90s-era blazer, but it was her “cool girl” hairstyle that caught our attention. Part undone waves, part beachy texture, her style is perfect for the upcoming 2022 festival season – and it’s incredibly easy to recreate as well, according to her hairstylist Sam McKnight.

If you had to ask us to name a makeup product we’d consider a holy grail item, it’s Chanel’s Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream.The lightweight, velvety bronzer gives the skin a glowy, sun-kissed appearance and is adored by beauty editors and influencers alike. But despite its cult status, not everyone can afford its hefty price tag (it costs £43 here).

There are some celebs who change hair colour and style with every new movie, then there are others, like Catherine Zeta-Jones, who keep to pretty much the same colour and cut. Catherine hadn’t changed much in appearance since her Zorro days until this week when she debuted a brand new ‘do.

Who doesn’t love a money-saving beauty bundle? Nobody we know, that’s for sure. So we reckon you’ll be as delighted as we were to learn that high street fave Marks & Spencer has brought back its super-popular Summer Beauty Bag – just in time for your summer holidays.

Dear reader, if you binge-watched the second season in barely more than a sitting and there’s been a Bridgerton-shaped hole in your life ever since, you’ll be pleased to know that your Shondaland hair and beauty withdrawal symptoms might be eased a little thanks to Simone Ashley’s latest transformation.The 27 year old actress, who plays the elder of the two Sharma sisters Kate in the hit Netflix show, has just given her hair a very non-Regency era makeover with the addition of a feathered full fringe, while her lengthy hair, which used to fall way past her shoulders, also appears to have been given a fresh chop. Her new hairdo is also styled poker straight, really showing off the slightly feathered ends of the style.

Anyone else waking up this morning feeling a little deflated after the Platinum Jubilee celebrations? We’re keeping the memory of the four-day weekend alive by taking a closer look at one very voluminous and eye-catching look from Pippa Middleton. Though her sister Kate Middleton, for the large part, kept her hair neatly away from her face and under a hat, Pippa served us the big blow dry that we love to see in the Royal Box.

It’s all very well applying the best shampoos, conditioners and styling products to your lengths, but healthy hair starts at the scalp – it’s skin, after all, yet we doubt most of us pay it as much attention as we do the skin on the rest of our faces and bodies. Scalp issues can come in many forms – itchiness, a dry, tight feeling, flakes, dandruff – which in turn can make your hair look less than its best.

If you’re desperately seeking longer looking lashes but lash lift treatments aren’t within your budget, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a brand new hack trending on TikTok that claims to give you the same look using just two products: an eyelash curler and a pot of Vaseline.That’s right, the latest no-makeup-makeup craze sweeping the app is seeing users transform their lashes with just two simple steps – and honestly, the results are amazing. Although we’ve spotted a few versions of the hack on TikTok, generally, it’s advised that you begin by applying a small amount of Vaseline (which you can pick up for just £1.50 here) to the soft pad of your lash curler before using the usual eyelash clamping method.

We do love it when a celebrity changes up their hair colour for a fresh spin on their signature beauty look. Whether they’ve taken the plunge and switched from platinum blonde to dark brunette, or vice versa, or are simply mixing things up with the help of extensions or a wig, it’s always fun to see our favourite famous faces getting a little beauty makeover.

We’re on a rooftop terrace at Cannes’ glitziest hotel, with Hollywood royalty milling around in their fanciest frocks. Gliding among them is Rochelle Humes, looking every inch the A-lister in a daringly sheer dress. Just normal life for her these days, surely? “It really isn’t! This is very surreal for me,” Rochelle grins, admitting she “can’t play it cool” about making her red-carpet debut for L’Oréal Paris, the Cannes Film Festival’s official make-up sponsor for 25 years.

There are some celebrities who change up their hair colour so regularly that it’s not that much of a surprise when they step out with a new hue. Others, however, have cemented their trademark shade during their time in the spotlight to the point that a new hair colour really makes an impact – like Love Island season 4 star Laura Anderson, who has pretty much always been a blonde during her time in the public eye.

Love Island is back for 2022 on Monday 6 June, and we’re already excited to meet the new bunch of romance seekers.The contestant line-up for this year was revealed yesterday, so we finally know what the Islanders look like – and we’re not disappointed. Amongst the hopefuls is Indiyah Polack, who caught our eye straight away thanks to her signature contrasting black and bleach blonde hair colour. We predict the soon-to-be Islander is about to spark a very big colour trend for summer 2022, and that hair colourists will soon be getting plenty of blonde streak requests from clients.

Striking though they may be bleached eyebrows are hardly a brand new beauty trend, but they have definitely seen a resurgence in popularity over the past few years thanks to celebrities like the Hadid and Kardashian-Jenner sisters.The latest famous face to jump on the look is actress Julia Fox, who stepped out in Los Angeles with the dramatic look over the weekend. "Major shout out to my mother queen @patmcgrathreal for these brows!!!” she captioned a series of Instagram snaps showcasing her look, tagging in legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath, who has been her go-to for public appearances recently.

If you’ve been considering and doing research into lip fillers, you’ll have almost certainly come across the “Russian lip technique” on your Google or social media travels.This method of injecting lip filler is increasing in popularity thanks to Instagram, where hundreds and hundreds of posts show some very impressive lifted lip results. If you haven’t heard of the Russian lip technique, or you’re not quite sure what the look is, Dr Rhobaye, plastic surgeon and facial aesthetics specialist at Sloane Clinic on Harley Street, explains that the process involves injecting filler vertically into the lip, drawing out to the outer edge.The result is a defined and lifted top and bottom lip with a heart-like shape.

You only have to scroll through Instagram for a matter of minutes to see that choppy, mid length cuts are all the rage at the moment. From celebrities to influencers, blunt long bobs and modern takes on Rachel Green’s signature haircut from the nineties are everywhere this season.The latest to get a fresh medium length hair makeover is former TOWIE star Amy Childs, who paid a visit to her hairdresser Joel Maguire – who also looks after Demi and Chloe Sims’ hair – for some volume-boosting extensions.

Few things give us a little lift in the same way that getting a mini makeover at the salon does, be it a blow dry or fresh manicure. But Stacey Solomon’s latest nail makeover really blows the rest of us out of the water in terms of a before and after transformation.Taking to Instagram Stories after a day of DIY jobs at her home, which is nicknamed Pickle Cottage, the 32 year old shared some snaps of her recent manicure – and we’re pretty sure she won’t mind us saying that her nails were kind of in a state before her nail artist Laura gave them a freshen up.

2022 marks Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th year on the throne, and many of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations are just around the corner as the UK prepares to enjoy an extra long weekend from the 2nd–5th June. Street parties aside, beauty brands have also got in on the action with limited edition makeup and fragrance buys to commemorate the Queen’s very special milestone – as well as a couple of flash sales in her honour.

While we’re looking forward to getting to know a whole new group of Islanders next month when Love Island returns for its eighth series, we’re still a little bit obsessed with the 2021 contestants and their hair and beauty looks, You might still be keeping up with last year’s contenders, but if you haven’t seen some of them in a while, you might be surprised by how different they look these days. So from Faye’s lip filler removal process to Amy Day’s glam “Insta” makeover, here’s what some of the 2021 cast look like now after having beauty transformations… Faye Winter Finalist Faye Winter has been busy since leaving the villa but, unlike some of her castmates, she hasn’t really been signing up to fashion or beauty collaborations.

If you haven’t noticed, 90s baby braids are having a serious moment right now. In recent months, everyone from Hailey Bieber and Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley have championed the throwback look, and now former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has jumped on the trend. In a series of selfies shared to her Instagram account, the 30 year old can be seen donning the festival-worthy look, but it’s not just the braids that are new.The star appears to have swapped her recent brunette bob for lengthy blonde locks with face-framing highlights.
