Kim talks makeup in her blog, so be sure to check it out. Here are my recommendations to achieve the look she’s wearing above without having to hire a makeup artist or break the bank!

Skin

The best way to get airbrush-perfect looking skin like Kim is to wear a good primer under your foundation (or you can even use it without foundation). Primers glide over pores and fine lines, making them less obvious. Try NARS Skin Smoothing Face Prep, £23, or L’Oreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer, £12.99. Both should make skin appear smoother, while helping your base look more even and last longer.

Kim seems to have gone for a foundation with a soft matte finish, which gives her skin that flawless but still natural look. Try a cream-to-powder foundation for a similar effect, such as Urban Decay‘s new ‘Surreal Skin’, £18. Kim’s undereye area always looks perfectly concealed and radiant. Bobbi Brown‘s Creamy Concealer kit, £23 is a great option if you need a bit of help in looking wide awake and fresh! The concealer itself does evens out the darkest of circles and the colour co-ordinating powder stops the concealer from looking cakey, providing a matte and natural finish.

Eyes

Kim’s is well known for her smoky eye makeup and glam lashes. For this look, apply a soft camel coloured shadow up to the browbone. Then blend a golden brown all over the lid, and then apply a dark brown in the outer corner, blending it into the crease. The colours in the Bourjois Smoky Eyes Trio in ‘Mordore Chic’ (£7.30 from ASOS) are perfect for achieving this look. Apply black eyeliner and lashings of mascara to get Kim’s attention-grabbing look!

Cheeks

The peachy-bronzey cheek colour Kim is wearing is perfect for summer and just lifts the whole look. Try Benefit Coralista, £23.50, applying it just under your cheekbone and sweeping it up towards your cheeks for Kim’s contoured look.

Lips

The neutral pink gloss Kim is wearing ties the look together without competing for attention with the dramatic eyes. Barry M‘s Glossy Tube in Candy Pink would look amazing with this look, and it’s a bargainous £3.50!

Even as I type, I have OPI’s bling-tastic Mad as Hatter gracing my nails, which is enough proof to me that Alice-themed stuff is still pretty hot. The only problem is that a lot of Alice-themed jewellery can look a bit cheesy…

Enter Sian Bostwick. A jeweller whose pieces are inspired by ‘illustration, fairytales, myths and dreamscapes to create both high impact and commercial pieces with quirky, individual, dreamy and playful feel’ take inspiration from the original Alice tale.

These pieces are such an appealing combination of playful femininity and darkness, the result being beautiful without being ‘adorable’. Here are a few favourites:

From top to bottom; Silver Heart necklace £185, Red Enamel Heart necklace £185, Silver and Murano Heart necklace £35, and Silver and Pearl Heart necklace £185.

Check out her website, http://www.sianbostwick.co.uk/ to see the ‘Wonderland’ collection in all its glory. Prices range from £35  to £185. Personally, I have fallen in love with the almost gothic-looking red enamel heart pictured and will be placing an order soon.

The beauty of this range is that despite Tim Burton-induced Alice hysteria, these pieces will never look dated, and will add a little bit of classy whimsy to an outfit…something which can be pretty hard to achieve!

The unwelcome reality of wearing head-to-toe blocks of pastel shades is that they do not suit every skintone. An easy way to incorporate a colour that you love, but drains you out when contrasted directly to your skin, is to accessorise with it instead!

From left to right we have the Block Striped scarf, £39, the Reversible Tote, £65 and the Serena Shoe, £95, all available from Gant.

The scarf is a Spring essential in Britain, as we know that the weather is usually chillier than it looks! The tote bag is really versatile as it is reversible- the other side has a pretty blue and pink floral pattern. The Serena shoe is a classic style updated with an unexpected colour; it would look fantastic paired with this seasons current trend of peg leg trousers.

These accessories would look fab against neutral coloured outfits that would make the baby pink really pop!

Here is what Ben had to say about the inspiration of his collection and what he’s excited about seeing in 2010:

-  Why did you decide to release a collection specifically for those aged 40 and over?

I decided to create a collection for a fashionable and sophisticated 40 year old , because as a very clued in consumer, I wanted to give her understated design , beautiful quality, and accessible prices without fleeting fashion trend.

-  What is your favourite piece in the collection?

My favourite pieces are the Mac and the New York skyline jersey dress.

-  Have you planned any other collaborations this year? What can we expect to see from Ben de Lisi in 2010?

I am really looking forward to seeing the reaction to Principles from customers who haven’t had a destination on the high street since last year, and building on the launch collection to create a beautiful autumn winter range will be really exciting.

-  What are your favourite trends that you expect to see in 2010?

Bold graphic prints , tailored neat coats, lots of layering in knits, and sharp bi-coloured jackets.

The Principles by Ben de Lisi collection is available at Debenhams stores nationwide.

Milan Fashion Week highlighted a key beauty trend for this season: smoky eyes and berry lips.

This look makes a refreshing change to the usual pastel and bright colours we see every spring/summer.

Despite what we’ve been told about never drawing attention to both the eyes and lips, this look can work if makeup is applied properly, as demonstrated by the gorgeous Katy Perry in the video for ‘If We Ever Meet Again’.

MasqueradeMakeup has a pretty interesting video tutorial copying Perry’s look on YouTube:

If you’re still not convinced you can rock both a strong eye and lip look at the same time, having just smoky eyes or berry-toned lips would look great this summer too- and is definitely a more wearable option!

Try pairing MAC lipstick in Hang-Up, a vampy berry shade, with neutral eyes, such as the NARS duo shadow in Alhambra.

Or if you prefer to emphasise your eyes, Bourjois have made it easy for you to achieve seductively smoky eyes in a range of colour options with their Trio Eyeshadow. Finish off with an understated pout by slicking on a nude gloss such as MAC Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait.

To make the look more striking, skip blusher and let your statement eyes or lips do the talking. Have fun experimenting!

When choosing a piece of jewellery for your mother, or any other significant person in your life, you will want to choose something timeless that can be pulled out time and time again, but still produce that look of love-at-first-sight when it’s pulled out of the wrapping paper. And of course, something that you won’t mind borrowing every now and then!

Here are a few jewellery gift ideas to get you started:

This Fendi cuff, £185 from net-a-porter isn’t in-your-face or boringly understated. It’s one of those timeless, generation bridging pieces that will make you look fabulous whether you’re a grandmother or a teenager.

This stunning Swarovski crystal Victoria Cross brooch by Erickson Beamon, £270 is another great net-a-porter find.

‘Jules’ necklace, £20 from Monsoon. You can’t get more classic than pearls, and these pretty beads could pass for the real thing…

…but if you’re after real pearls for Mother’s Day, check out this beautiful South Sea pearl and platinum pendant from Tiffany & Co (£16,300)…

…or the more affordable Swarovski and freshwater pearl earrings by seller ‘luxedeluxe’ on etsy, $49:

This pretty cubic zirconia ring by Jon Richard at Debenhams is £10.

Hopefully you now have some ideas about what to get for Mother’s Day. Jewellery can be such a personal thing, but if you focus on classic, elegant pieces, it’s hard to go wrong!

Never one to shy away from an offbeat ensemble, Imogen Heap accepted her Grammy for ‘Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical’ wearing an outfit that displayed tweets and tweetpics from her fans, via the collar on her dress and her Fendi handbag.

Fans were able to send tweets to Imogen throughout the night, which showed up on her collar while her handbag displayed pictures. She claims that the dress is her own creation, and was her own way of including her fans in the award ceremony.

I’m not quite sure how this works, but it is really nice to see a calebrity thank their fans for their success by inviting them to be present at an awards ceremony somehow!
