What We're Sweet On: Blush So Flattering, Nobody Will Know It's Makeup

The wrong blush shade and texture can take you into lady-of-the-night territory.

The wrong blush shade and texture can take you into lady-of-the-night territory. The right blush, however, can give you a lit-from-within flush, brightening your complexion in about 10 seconds flat. Such is the case with Giorgio Armani's Sheer Blush (£31). As the name implies, this blush imparts the subtlest amount of colour to the skin. And because of its soft, lightweight texture, there's nary an obvious streak or too-shimmery finish to be found. In fact, likely nobody will know you're even wearing makeup. It's a high-end purchase, no doubt. But for its ability to give you a fresh-faced, natural-looking glow with minimal effort, it's hard to put a price on that.

Last night, three beautiful British ladies attended the 54th Annual Grammy Awards honouring all things music in Los Angeles. Wearing Smashbox Cosmetics, Adele looked amazing with perfectly coiffed hair and a slenderising black Armani Prive dress. Kate Beckinsale wowed in a mini black and white creation from Zuhair Murad with her hair pulled back into a teased and wavy ponytail, whilst Kelly Osbourne, still donning purple-grey hair looked every bit glamazon in a long, silver Tony Ward dress that she paired with Giuseppe Zanotti heels and Pomellato jewels. Take a look at these girls from all angles and let me know whose dress, hair, makeup and accessories you like best!

BAFTA Awards: Penelope Cruz

Tonight, the red carpet sizzled as Penelope Cruz walked out in a gorgeous, floor-length deep red Armani Privè dress.

Tonight, the red carpet sizzled as Penelope Cruz walked out in a gorgeous, floor-length deep red Armani Privè dress. The Spanish actress is not only an attendee this evening, but she's also set to present an award. Her hair was piled high with short fringe in the front and her accessories were tasteful and demure. The main attraction was a sparkling pair of white diamond earrings and a ring on each hand. Do you think Penelope looks pretty here?

Trousers With a Silver Lining

Giorgio Armani's twitter page says, "Elegance is not about being noticed, it’s about being remembered".

Giorgio Armani's twitter page says, "Elegance is not about being noticed, it’s about being remembered". I love this quote, but let's face it, sometimes it's fun to be less elegant and just get noticed. Despite including a pair of very dainty pants in his Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer collection that debuted on the catwalk last week (shown centre), silver pants can also be fun and even slightly trashy! Heidi Range was spotted on Tuesday outside the ITV studio studios in London wearing a super tight pair, and over the Summer, comedian Russell Brand wore a dark silver pair to the MTV Video Music Awards. Shop silver pants below and let me know if this is a style on your 2012 Winter wish list!

Jessica may have been the woman of the hour at the Grand Palais, where the show was held, but she wasn't the only boldfaced name in attendance at the couture presentation. She was seated side-by-side with Cameron Diaz in a coveted front-row spot. The actresses both stopped to pose for pictures and chat with designer Giorgio Armani before taking their seats. Cameron had already made the scene at several major shows, including Chanel, Dior, and Versace, before putting in the appearance at Mr. Armani's show this morning. For all the highlights from the Paris runways, be sure to check out Fab's roundup of the 100 most beautiful couture week looks so far!

Diamonds Are a Perfume's Best Friend

Diamonds are sparkly, rare, beautiful, and — above all — they send the message that the person wearing them is very special.

Diamonds are sparkly, rare, beautiful, and — above all — they send the message that the person wearing them is very special. I feel like a good perfume embodies those qualities, too, so it's no wonder why companies are naming their precious beauty scents after the stunning jewel. Armani is getting ready to launch Black Carat Diamonds For Him and Her in September, and the scent is quite mature and strong. Also, Versce is set to release a lovely, lighter juice called Yellow Diamond next week, which features Abbey Lee Kershaw as the model in the ad campaign shot by Mario Testino. Lastly, is Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds, which launched 20 years ago. It somehow manages to remain the best-selling celebrity fragrance of all time. Which of these dynamite diamond scents interest you most?
