As fun as playing with trends can be, sometimes I think it's time to start developing a signature beauty look – such as always sporting plum lipstick, or wearing gold nail polish on my toes, no matter what the occasion.
Dita Von Teese is known for her retro signature beauty look – pale creamy skin and red lipstick, while Kate Moss always wears her hair tousled with natural makeup, adding just a hint of brown eyeliner and peachy blush for nights out.

Eva Mendes is looking glossy and gorgeous at the launch of Thirty Days of Fashion and Beauty in Melbourne, Australia.
She's wearing dramatic, smoky grey shadow that she's taken wide on the eyes and added black liner, for extra emphasis.
A touch of sparkly lip gloss and just a hint of shimmer on the cheeks makes this a high voltage, glamorous look.

Naturally fresh faced Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are looking relaxed and happy, as they holiday with their mother, Sarah Ferguson, in Spain, this week.
Beatrice (left) was working a pared down makeup look, with barely-there blusher and her auburn waves left natural, while Eugenie (right) had slightly more of a glam edge, with expertly kohl-rimmed eyes and bright pink nail varnish.
But which princess do you prefer?

Now it's not quite on the same level as Tory versus Labour, or even Chelsy Davy versus Kate Middleton, but the powder blush versus the cream formulation is a big beauty debate, at least in my pretty little head.
I was always a devoted powder (puff) girl but have since switched sides onto Team Cream, and there's no looking back.
But which do you prefer for a prettifying blush? The jury's out...
On a trip last week I lost my DiorShow mascara, somewhere between the Jubilee line and La Rambla. Devastated? You bet.
I can happily do without lipstick, eyeliner and if pushed, blusher or concealer. But no mascara? My lashes had never felt so bare (nor my eyes so teeny tiny!).
Mascara is my desert island essential beauty product – the one item I can't live without. For the Femme Fatale it's under eye concealer, while another of my friends can't do without her cream blush.
What's your beauty desert island essential? If you could only have one product for the rest of your beauty days which would it be?
It's a tough choice, but do tell...
