Whether your look is all about fresh, pearly skin, or if you prefer vibrant, eye-catching colours, Vogue.fr brings you the top make-up looks from the Spring/Summer 2013 shows to try at home this year.

The descriptions "a man of many hats" and "renaissance man" do not even marginally do justice to what Karl Lagerfeld has achieved, and is indeed still achieving at the age of "79".

I love animals. I grew up with lots of them, and I can't believe that I live in a country where cosmetics companies are still testing products on animals. Next year, we were supposed to be able to walk into any cosmetics shop in the EU and know that no rabbits or other animals had been harmed in the making of a single product. Most consumers agree that force-feeding chemicals to pregnant rabbits in laboratories is wrong - especially when there are 100 per cent humane non-animal testing methods available. Animals shouldn't suffer for shampoo and lip gloss.

Seems there's a gold rush going on at the moment everywhere (even the Team GB trophy cabinet) with glistening, golden shades shining from shop rails, beauty displays and shoe stores. When it comes to metallics I'm usually a silver or bronze girl although I do love a rose gold, especially for eyeshadows and jewellery.

I love busting out a silver shimmer- it's my go-to, year-round shade for adding sparkle to an outfit and I'm never without my Elsa Peretti for Tiffany open heart hoop style earrings, one of many silver chains and my beloved Frank Gehry torque ring but it's not just for jewellery. My disco ball style silver nails have been drawing lots of unsolicited compliments of late and I would lend someone my kitten for a pair of the silver Isabel Marant wedge heel trainers, pictured below.

As a redhead (for now) bronze is also a really flattering shade for me and one I love wearing both as clothing, accessories and - carefully, no-one's talking matchy-matchy eyes/lips/cheeks 90s MAC Spice style here - cosmetics. Here's my pick of a few great bronze-toned pieces from fashion and beauty through to some gorgeous glassware.

My trusty MAC eyeshadow palette has finally come to an end so I've been hunting for a replacement.

Remember when you were little and your mum used to wear No7 make up and you thought it was SO grown up?

Hello! I hope you all enjoyed recreating last weeks Katy Perry look! So this weeks look is far more simple than the green and purple "Grammy" eye but ...

I was shocked to hear how environmentally unfriendly jeans are, recently. With its tough, hardwearing nature giving you more wears per wash I'd assumed denim was one of the greener fabric choices but how wrong I was...

With Valentine's Day looming it's time to spring clean the product drawers and make sure I have everything I need ready to get me looking as hot, or at least as human, as possible in time for date night.

As this year is coming to an end, I very much wanted to do a blog giving special mentions to my own personal stand out products from each category. The difficult thing is, I love many products from every category... I would absolutely love to hear any of your own!
