We Love Kirsten Dunst’s Apricot Cheeks
With dimples that cute, it’s no wonder Kirsten Dunst is happy to let her cheeks take centre stage when it comes to her make-up. What we really like about her fresh take on the look is that she’s plumped for a healthy shade of tawny apricot rather than the usual pink. When you’re emphasis is the apples of the cheeks, cream blusher is best for blendability. Simply smile, dot a little on to the fullest part of your cheeks and buff until you get the colour intensity you want. Try Becca Crème Blush in Terracotta, £24, to recreate Kirsten Dunst's gorgeous glow. CB

Beauty Tried And Tested: The Best Budge-Proof Primers
Need a primer that will keep your make up from giving you the slip? LOOK is here to help... today our very own Beauty Editor Sophie Beresiner and LOOK reader Lindsay Ricks have put four budge-proof primers to the test...
Beauty Editor: Smoothes into skin easily to create an even base for foundation. It absorbs any excess oil too, so no need to worry about the dreaded shine factor.
Lindsay: This felt really creamy on my skin and instantly made it look matte. I really liked the overall effect and my make-up definitely lasted longer. I would use this primer again on a daily basis. Beauty Score: 5/5
Beauty Editor: This may look a little yellow in the tube but it sinks into skin seamlessly and brightens up complexions so you won't have to wear half as much base.
Lindsay: I liked the consistency of this and it toned down any redness in my complexion. It made my skin look smoother and my make-up appear fresher for hours after I’d applied it. Beauty Score: 4/5
Beauty Editor: Covers up any little skin imperfections and refines pores without looking cakey. Effective enough to wear as your base if you're having a good skin day. Lindsay: Initially I was worried this might make me look pale as it’s quite a light colour but it blended in well and made my skin tone look much more even. It gave me that just applied, dewy skin that I'm always after. Beauty Score: 4/5
Beauty Editor: The peachy colour and silky consistency make this really easy to apply. Blends in so well you can hardly see it, so great for clear skin, not so effective on redness. Lindsay: This delivered exactly what it promised. My skin looked more luminous and radiant immediately. The product casing made it tricky to judge how much to put on though, so it took a while to get used to. Beauty Score: 3/5

Lindsay Lohan rocked up to the launch of her new leggings collection this week, sporting her favourite statement pair for the paps. The 6126 range, named after Marilyn Monroes birth date, debuted in New York department store Henri Bendel and is spot on with this seasons gothic trend. Lindsay says the range was inspired by her idol Marilyn Monroe we think theyre a bit more Marilyn Manson though! There was no sign of girlfriend Sam Ronson at the launch, but her sister Charlotte, also a fashion designer, accompanied Lindsay to the bash. Get set to see leggings appear with an edge this season - weve already got our PVC pair - and Lindsay has taken them a step further. The only way to wear them is with a dress or oversized rock tee. The more distressed the better. Acting, fashion designing, DJ-ing, and singing is there nothing our Linds isnt good at

Steal Katie's Winter Style
Steal Katies Winter Style
10 October 2008
Written By: Rebecca Martin
Had your winter knitwear fix Katie Holmes has, and its one star look thats easy to copy.
Here at Look.co.uk, we think Katie has got winter style wrapped up. Her laidback look of oversized knits and jeans is just perfect weekend wear. Whats more, its easy and cheap to recreate on the high street.
Just team a boyfriend cardy or v-neck jumper (either bought from the high street or even better, borrowed from your man), add a simple top and baggy jeans and youve got it. Of course, an A-list husband would complete the look but were going for oversized frames instead!
Our favourite cardy on the high street at the moment is this gorgeous bright pink one from Dorothy Perkins, however, theres also plenty of choice with Toppers and Miss Selfridge stocking plenty.
