The Grammys catwalk was shimmering with golden and gilded hues from the plethora of celebrities that were wearing gold or metallics on grammys night:

Metallics move on from the soft golds and pewters of winter to make way for more refined copper and rusts. The new metallic for our make up bags this season coppers and rusts are warmer, more flattering and much easier to pull of in the sunnier days that lie ahead. On the Catwalks of Spring/Summer 2011 Donna Karan Models wore the look effortlessly.

Zesty shades of orange are going to be hot,hot,hot in fashion this year! We've seen the shade grace the catwalks for Spring/Summer 2011 and we've also spied some of our favoutire celebs sporting the look.

Tame your tangerine - use a contrasting rich colour to temper the shade. Try a touch of turquoise, a splash of hot-pink or a flash of glossy gold.
If the head-to-toe look is too bold, introduce orange as a lush accent via bags, shoes and shades.

Say hello to pastel pink lips. The blotted out, wash of colour lip look is going to be superhot for Spring thanks to the trend seen on fashion savvy celebs and on the catwalks of Spring/Summer 2011, the look is creamy, not chalky.

Hayden Panettiere sports the look

Chart topping sensation Nicki Minaj arrived in London this week on her first high profile trip to the capital and has been creating quite a stir! Mostly with her eye-popping outfits and super bright make up! We love her statement Barbie girl make up look – check out those lips!
