Givenchy - "Color Block"

Cet été, la tendance est au "color block". Entendez la profusion de couleurs flash. Et pour l'adopter, Givenchy a créé une palette qui risque de faire parler d'elle. Neuf couleurs, toutes plus électriques (et électrisantes) que les autres pour se faire des looks originaux, disco, ensoleillés ou complètement barrés.

This summer, the tendency is to "color block". Hear the profusion of color flash. And to adopt it, Givenchy has created a palette that could be talked about. Nine colors, each more power (and electrifying) than other styles to make original, disco, sunny or completely barred.

Top Beauty Tips- Conseils de Beauté

THE HARD LINE 

'If your eye or lip pencil is too soft and crumbly it can be difficult to achieve a strong line. Solve this by placing the pencil in the freezer for a few minutes, then gently run a line over the back of your hand to warm it up slightly. Now line your eyes or lips with a perfect stroke of colour'

NOT-SO-FAKE TAN 

'When applying fake tan to your face your pores can sometimes become blocked with the product. Prevent this from happening by rubbing an ice cube over your face before application. This will close the pores and stop you getting the tell-tale black spots' 

JUST A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR… 

'Sugar water makes a great hair-setting lotion. Dissolve six teaspoons of sugar in a glass of boiling water, cool, then transfer to a spray bottle. Mist over hair, then wrap small sections around your finger and secure to the crown with grips. Remove grips when dry, for soft curls' 

BRUSH UP 

'Sweep a long-handled body brush across your limbs and torso, directing strokes towards the heart. A daily brush helps our skin shed waste and toxins, as well as boosting circulation and the lymphatic system. This, in turn, improves skin tone and helps the immune system'

MAKING WAVES 

'Everything from the 1970s is big this season, including the hair. Create waves by twisting wet locks into tight curls and pinning up with kirby grips. Blast with a hairdryer to set, then remove the grips. Voilà - perfect Charlie's Angels waves.' 

TOP OF THE POPS 

'Bright colours are a big make-up trend this spring, especially orange. But it can be difficult to wear lively shades around the eye as they tend to dull on the lid. Solve this by applying a little matte white shadow around the colour - it will make the bright shade really "pop".' 

BRIGHT EYES 

'For a softer effect around the eyes, try using a coloured mascara. Forget garish 1980s shades and pick a dark plum for intensifying blue eyes and dark green for brown eyes. This is a great look for spring, particularly if you've worn a lot of dark eye make-up over winter.' 

A BIT OF A SQUEEZE 

'If you're confused about the perfect lip colour to go for, squeeze the tip of your middle finger. You'll see an intense red or pink colour, which is a guide for the lip shade you should be after.' 

A PARTING GIFT 

'Place your fingers on one side of the forehead (above the left or the right eyebrow) and sweep diagonally to the other side of the crown, towards the back of the head. With your parting invisible front-on, your hair will look fuller and thicker.' 

TRUE COLOURS 

'Lips are naturally pink, so the colour of the lipstick in the tube isn't the shade you'll end up with on your face. Pat foundation on lips to neutralise them, then apply lipstick on top. You'll get the true shade that way, which is important if you're going for a statement lip.' 

USING BRONZER IN WINTER 

'Swirl a large brush in a biscuity shade (avoid anything orange-based) and draw a number three on your face. Start from the temple, curve around to the cheek and finally curve down to the chin, then repeat on the other side. This will slim the face and warm up dull winter skin.' 

'Stella' beauty team

BE KIND TO COLOUR 

'Hard water can make it difficult to maintain coloured hair. Attach a filter to your shower head to soften the water and remove any mineral deposits, which make hair look dull - the last thing you want if you've spent lots of money on colour.' 

Marie Robinson - colour ambassador for Pantene

APPLYING MINERAL POWDER 

'Start by buffing the outside of the face with a really soft brush dusted in powder, and slowly work your way in towards the forehead, nose and chin. The minerals will warm and blend with the oils in your skin to give that "no make-up" make-up look.' 

Sarah-Jane Froom - Bare Escentuals

ABSOLUTELY BALMY 

'Lip balm is a handy tool to use if you want to make your complexion glow. Stroke a little clear balm down the brow bone and up the cheekbone (in a sideways V) to highlight the eye area, or mix a little with a cream blush and apply to the apples of the cheeks for a rosy glow.' 

'Stella' beauty team

LOWER THE TONE 

'Tone down bright eyeshadow by stroking a colourless loose powder over the eye with a rounded fluffy brush. You'll still get a good pop of colour without it being too strong. The same "soft-focus" technique can be used with blusher, too.' 

Thomas de Kluyver - make-up artist

SMOOTH OPERATOR 

'If you have frizzy hair but don't like using styling products, squeeze lemon or lime juice in your shampoo and conditioner. The juices are cleansing and high in acidity, which helps to close the hair cuticle. The result? An impossibly smooth and sleek hairdo.' 

Paul Falltrick - Matrix

LIPSTICK THAT LASTS 

'Even the best lipsticks fade after a few hours. To avoid a patchy lip place a tissue over your first coat of lipstick and gently dab on a loose powder. The tissue acts as a filter, allowing just enough powder through to fix the lipstick before a second coat.' 

Shama Sahzayasin - make-up artist

SOFTLY SOFTLY 

The way you shampoo your hair could be potentially damaging. Don't rub it too vigorously as it will irritate the hair cuticles. Instead, massage the roots and scrunch shampoo into the ends. You'll benefit from a tension-relieving head massage and minimise frizz, too.' 

Phil Smith - hairdresser

WATCH YOUR SODIUM LEVELS 

'To keep hair frizz-free for as long as possible after a permanent blow-dry, look for shampoos and conditioners that are sodium-free. Keratin is applied to the hair to keep it straight, but most shampoo and conditioner contains sodium, which breaks down the keratin.' 

Philip Kingsley - haircare expert

PILLOW TALK 

'Sleep on a silk-covered pillow to keep skin hydrated and crease-free. Unlike cotton, silk doesn't wick away moisture and is naturally hypoallergenic. Don't let all your lovingly applied products be absorbed by your bed linen!' 

Clare Rogers - Treatment Rooms, Brighton

DARK SECRETS 

'Applying a dark lipstick can be very tricky. Begin by lightly dabbing the colour on to your lip with your finger to create a stain. Then build up with a matching liner. This will layer and fix the base, giving even coverage and the perfect pout.' 

Shama - make-up artist at CLM

A FINE WEAVE 

'A great look for day or night, boho braids are easy to create. Take a front section of the hair and, starting on one side, braid along the hairline. Secure behind the ear with a pin. Quick, simple and right on-trend.' 

Lisa Whiteman - Webster Whiteman, Mayfair

A RIGHT SPECTACLE 

'When choosing glasses, work with your skin tone and eye colour. If you have a warm complexion and hair colour, go for bronze, tortoise or brown frames. Cooler complexions suit lighter shades such as white, silver, blue and grey.' 

James Kaliardos - make-up artist, L'Oréal Paris

TOP MARKS 

'The key to a stylish topknot is to create contrast between the pulled-back hair and the knot itself. The pulled-back hair should be kept sleek and glossy, whereas the knot should be wild and almost "undone".' 

Gary Hooker and Michael Young - Hooker & Young

WAX ON, WAX OFF 

'If you plan to wax at home before jetting off on holiday, do it at least 24 hours before - this allows time for your skin to settle down before exposing it to the sun. Always peel off wax strips in the opposite direction of hair growth, and be sure to apply sunscreen to protect skin.' 

Otylia Roberts - Simply Wax

GET THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE 

'Always comb out the tangles in your hair before you get in the shower or bath - you will split and damage it if you wash it while it's full of knots. Before washing, rinse it with warm water to open up the follicles and get rid of any styling products.' 

Lisa Shepherd - haircare expert

SCRUB-A-DUB 

'If you suffer from dry, cracked heels make your own antibacterial salt scrub by mixing a handful of sea salt with almond oil. Give your toes a good going over with it in the bath and you'll emerge with smooth, sandal-ready summer feet.' 

Agi Mirz - Hand and Foot Spa

THE PERFECT PONYTAIL 

'For the sleekest ponytail lie on the bed with your head hanging off the edge. Gather the hair on the crown, or lower if that suits you. If you want it super-smooth, mist your brush with water first. Voilà - a perfectly smooth, face-lifting ponytail.' 

Alex Box - make-up artist

SUN-KISS ME QUICK 

'To create a natural sun-kissed look, use a light bronzer all over the face first, then a slightly darker one on the forehead, nose and chin. A pinky-gold colour is best for fair skin, golden bronze for medium and golden red for dark complexions.' 

Trevor O'Keefe - Laura Mercier

MISMATCH OF THE DAY 

'When it comes to nail colours I think matching fingers and toes is a bit naff. Instead, think of it as having virgin's hands and tart's feet. Keep it nice and neutral up the top, but have fun with colour down below - the brighter and bolder the better.' 

Iris Chapple - Mavala

NAIL IT 

'Get the most out of nail varnish by preparing your nails first: scrub them with a nail brush in warm water with a soap-free cleanser. This will ensure a clean surface, free of any traces of a nail-varnish remover or natural oils, which can lift your varnish. It will last an extra few days.' 

Emma Cox - Jessica Nails

IN A FRIZZ 

'When the weather's humid it's tempting to overstyle hair with hairdryers and straighteners. Instead, opt for low-maintenance curls or updos, which are much more suitable for summer and easy to maintain.' 

Nick Malenko - Royston Blythe at the Dorchester

A SALINE SOLOUTION 

'Have you ever noticed how spotty skin seems much clearer after swimming in the sea? To recreate the effect at home try soaking a towel in comfortably hot salt water, then lay it on the spotty area for 10 minutes or so. This should clarify skin on the face, chest and back.' 

Stella beauty team

BRIGHT EYES 

'To conceal dark under-eye circles properly, you'll need two products. First, correct the dark blue tones with a pink-toned concealer. Then use a yellow-toned concealer over the top, to lighten the darkness and make the area the same colour as the rest of your face.' 

Hannah Martin - Bobbi Brown

Britney Spears is sweet for Dolce & Gabbana

as designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana profess their love for Spears's new songs.

It's fair to say that one doesn't always associate Britney Spears with high fashion. She is certainly no Kate-I-just-popped-to-Starbucks-in-this-Calvin-Klein-shift-Bosworth, or Elle-got-to-do-the-school-run-dressed-like-a-Gucci-clad-minx-Macpherson, so it's a relief to see that Spears has called upon Dolce & Gabbana for a little help with her pop-comeback.

Promotional images for Spears's new album, Femme Fatale , see the the 29-year-old mother of two pictured wearing a selection of pieces by the celebrated Italian design duo.

A polka dot print body helps accentuate Britney's newly trim physique (let's just ignore the airbrushing row raging over in tabloid-land), while a lemon-hued gown lends a couture feel.

"We love Britney and we love to dance to her new songs! We can't wait to hear the whole album!" confess Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. "She has always been among our favourite artists" they continue, "because she has been able to remain true to herself and to her style throughout the years. With her music she influenced and inspired generations of people for more than 10 years, always staying at the top, and we can't but congratulate her for this new, important achievement."

Wow. Last week Kylie, this week Britney. Looks like the Dolce duo have cornered the market in pop princesses.

Lady Gaga DRAW THIS WAY

Lady Gaga took to Twitter to announce her newest endeavor as a monthly columnist for the uber-fashiony V magazine. And while it’s already safe to say that pretty much anything the Fame Monster touches turns to gold, this is one project we really can’t wait to see.

According to the announcement, Gaga’s column will debut in next month’s issue, V71. As for the content, V says she’ll be weighing in on “all things fashion” which doesn’t help clarify things all that much — in Gaga’s world, “fashion” has a pretty wide definition. Though we’d love to see Gaga opine on the art world references at last season’s fashion week, we’re not-so-secretly hoping this column will give us an inside look at the daily works in the Haus of Gaga — or at the very least serve as an advice column.

 SUBMIT ILLUSTRATIONS TO DRAWNTHISWAY@VMAGAZINE.COM BETWEEN NOW AND THE NIGHT OF SUNDAY, APRIL 3RD. THE WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN ON MONDAY, APRIL 4TH. YOUR ART JUST MIGHT BE IN THE PAGES OF V!

Paris Hilton continues to nurture her growing business empire and global brand with more endorsements and branded products. The latest to see the light is the Paris Hilton Shoe collection as Hilton launched the line of footwear she designed yesterday in sunny Meixco city at the Hotel Distrito Capital for media and buyers.Confident and at ease, Paris answered all media questions and did a smart bitch slap ad reminder to some of the press who asked if she would feel any rivalry from ex BFF Kim Kardashian, who also owns a successful shoe line Shoe Dazzle.Paris said that there are many people who try to imitate what she does. But she said, in her words, “I am the original so there is nothing like me.     ”She added that she has “done everything that I wanted to do and I feel very blessed that I have been very successful on every area. So it’s very exciting. There is nothing else to do.”Put them in place, basically. No matter who is your favorite, one fact will always remain it was Paris who opened the door and started it all, and a many tried to follow her footsteps to becoming a media phenomena, with only a handful who have succeeded.But still, she’s always the first.
