The A-list Loves: Brights
The skies may still be grey (come on, summer!) but the A-list have found a cunning means of beating those grey days by splashing their faces in a colourful palette of fuchsia, violet, blue, green and more. Dress lips in neon like Lily Allen or smudge electric blue along lids á la Kate Bosworth - however you choose to wear it this month, just make sure you wear it loud!

I take lots of chances. Sometimes people are inspired and sometimes, confused!” she jokes. “I never regret much of anything, though - I think everything I have [tried], for better or worse, has been a creative expression of what I was feeling at that moment in life.”
