Glam by name and glam by nature – MAC’s brand new Viva Glam ad campaign for the 2012 season is tight, bright and full of colour – and we are totally in love with it! 

The campaign was shot by David LaChapelle in Miami earlier this year, and features the photographer’s trademark colourful collage-style backgrounds and lack of subtlety (the lipstick Ricky is holding couldn’t really be any bigger… or could it?!)

Ricky Martin and Nicki Minaj’s efforts are million miles away from Lady Gaga’s previous offering, where she posed for pics and appeared in a short film.

The Marry the Night singer’s ads were pale, ghostly and almost haunting in comparison, but that’s not to say they were any less fabulous. They made one heck of an impact – just like all things Gaga puts her name to – and the only thing we can think of to make them better would be to get Ricky, Nicki and Gaga together for one mega picture and video collaboration.

We can totally see this happening and will update you if it ever gets the green light.

Want to start wearing spring’s hair trends now? Good news – you can! We asked our hair friends at Toni & Guy for a few tips on how to recreate our favourite looks from the spring 2012 runways. Next up today – Todd Lynn’s pinned ponytail.

This is such a simple update on a classic hairstyle, we’re wondering why we’ve never tried it before. Hair at Todd Lynn next spring is sleek, simple and sophisticated with an edgy twist, as low ponytails are given attitude with metal pins clamped in place.

Effective without being try-hard, we can’t wait to give this look a go. Watch the video below for tips on how to recreate the look:

Want to start wearing spring’s hair trends now? Good news – you can! We asked our hair friends at Toni & Guy for a few tips on how to recreate our favourite looks from the spring 2012 runways. On our radar this morning – Bora Aksu’s textured looped ponytail.

We love Bora’s modern take on Victorian hair, where a sleek but natural centre parting leads into a backcombed, textured looped ponytail to the back.

Soft and ethereal but packed with style, it’s a great way to fake that “oh, I just threw this together” look. And the best part? It’s easy to do yourself.

If there’s one place you can guarantee a designer’s look will extend all the way to their face, it’s London Fashion Week.

Whether it’s Vivienne Westwood smudging rainbow colours across their cheeks or Erdem allowing them to remain romantically natural, here the models don’t just wear a look, they work it.

And so, it’s only fair that we dedicate a little attention to best beauty looks we spied at London’s spring 2012 shows.

Below, behold the 10 beauty looks we loved from London Fashion Week – and hey, why wait ’til next spring to try ‘em? We can’t wait to give these a go now.

Rose-bitten lips at Erdem

Why: Who could resist this undone, romantic look?

Wine-stained lips at Giles

Why: Similar to Erdem’s but a little naughtier, we love the one-glass-too-many look (not least because we can guzzle a glass of wine without guilt).

Elfin au naturale at Christopher Kane

Why: Plain has never looked so pretty.

Modern Forties smokiness at Marios Schwab

Why: A cool update on the always-favourite smoky eye.

Bright popping lips at Mary Katrantzou

Why: Modern, fresh and simple – we’re loving Katrantzou’s popping pink and orange lips. We’re quite fond of the blue, too (even if they do look a little frozen).

Colour craziness at Vivienne Westwood

Why: Ok, so we might not actually try this one, but how fun does it look?

Candy-floss streaks in Sixties bouffants at Mulberry

Why: Volumised Sixties ‘dos are updated with candy-coloured streaks in pale pink, lemon and blue.

Glitter-smudged eyes and dark berry lips at Ashish

Why: The perfect disco eyes? We think so! The Nineties dark lips are a great way to make party makeup look cool, too.

Strong metallic eyes and muted lips at Todd Lynn

Why: Fresh and futuristic. We love the blue, but the bronze is totally wearable.

Dip-dyed pink hair at PPQ

Why: This will make singing Cyndi Lauper all the more worthwhile.

Want to start wearing spring’s hair trends now? Good news – you can! We asked our hair friends at ghd for a few tips on how to recreate our favourite looks from the spring 2012 runways. Next up – Sass & Bide’s plaited basket weave bun.

Doesn’t it just sound fun? Stylist Renya Xydias had a brief to capture the same sense of duality that featured throughout the design duo’s collection. “I took inspiration from the clash of textures and the energy of the clothes,” she said, “so the look explores dual textures and personalities – it’s both hard and soft, masculine and feminine.”

The result? Hair that looks strict, slick and graphic from the front but altogether softer at the back, with multiple braids giving way to a romantic basket weave bun.

Here’s how you can get the look:

Step 1: Mist dry hair with water and brush through using a dressing brush to smooth down any frizz.

Step 2: Using a tailcomb, create a neat centre parting and section the hair into three pieces starting from the crown.

Step 3: Saturate hair with a heat protecting spray like ghd’s Straight and Sleek and brush through the mid lengths.

Step 4: Using straightening irons, smooth out the lengths of your hair until sleek and straight. ghd recommend using their Gold Max Styler irons.

Step 5: Take tiny sections from the back and braid tightly, creating no more than seven individual plaits. Secure with clear elastics.

Step 6: Once you’ve created your mini plaits, gather all the sections together and braid into one big plait, then fold it a knot and secure with pins.

Step 7: Finish with a spritz of hairspray like ghd Final Fix spray to hold in place and add shine.
