Lily Brightens Up A London Night Out
After holidaying with Kate Moss in Saint Tropez, and then playing a festival in Portugal, Lily Allen was showing off her glowing tan in London last night.

After her fleeting visit to London, Lily's due to play a festival in Hungary today, before heading to Sweden, Norway and Finland for more live dates this week — what a busy lady!
How-To: Katy Perry's Eye-Enhancing Makeup
Katy Perry is known for her daring makeup and clothing, but last night at the This Is It premiere in LA, she chose an understated look.

Take a Baby Step Toward Bold Eye Shadow
I consider myself a risk taker when it comes to makeup choices. Not to say I'm rocking the black lipstick or emerald eyeshadow every day, but I like to sample all the colors of the rainbow – that's what they're there for, right?
