You can be a golden glow winner

The Golden Globes earlier this week demonstrated that there is a new modern freshness and wearability about high glamour make-up, bringing soft yet vibrant new colour to cheeks, eyes and lips for a look that is picture perfect on younger stars like Drew Barrymore, or brings a youthful bloom to more mature faces, like Meryl Streep.

"Hollywood is the birthplace of fantasy and dreams," says designer Michael Kors, who had created the gorgeous new Very Hollywood Color Collection, below, for Este Lauder, epitomising iconic Hollywood glamour but interpreted for everyday life.

There are two modern-classic looks: Bel Air Beige, a beige and coral palette of shimmery peach lips and cheeks and smokey eyes; and Rodeo Pink with vibrant new shades in raspberry tones of bright, bold lips and cheeks and a defined eye. Both colour palettes feature coordinating shades of blush (23), eyeshadow duo (22), eye pencil (15), lip sheen SPF15 (17), lip gloss (16)and nail lacquer (12). To create a soft sheen for beautiful luminous red carpet skin, try the Very Hollywood Shimmering Loose Powder (26), all over the face or highlight eyes, cheeks and dcolletage. Collection available now exclusively at Harvey Nichols and at other Este Lauder counters from February 1.

Hollywood hair on the red carpet was a combination of sleek up-dos and semi-swept back styles, and more mature hair benefits from products that make it thicker and easier to work with. Apply Alterna Hemp Organics Thickening Compound. It costs 17.50, from Hob hair salon in Leeds (call 0113 243 5555).

The Golden Globes were damp and rainy, a challenge for any hairstyle, let alone a red carpet one.

Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine Super Spray is a great finishing product that does exactly what it says on the bottle, providing powerful, long-lasting hold and intense shine, thanks to a blend of algae, aloe, jojoba, henna and rosemary to enhance shine.

It costs 9.65 for 250ml from salons and stockists on 0845 659 0012.

As many celebrities have found, the key to a youthful and glamorous red carpet look is full lips, whether they go for a neutral glistening shade (better if you have full-on smokey eyes) or a strong red look. No7 Wild Volume Lipstick comes in various shades and will instantly make your lips fuller, giving you a glossy shine and an eye-catching pout. It costs 10, from Boots.
