We hope you enjoy this fun new weekly feature and would love to hear your comments on whether you think each look deserves the Glam Angel Fierce Face Award for that week!! Enjoy!! <3

This weeks Fierce Face Award goes to....Jessie J (Brit Awards 2011)





This powerful makeup look had everyone in the audience (and surely everyone watching at home) standing up to take notice of the fabulously talented, superstar-in-the-making Jessie J as she performed an acoustic version of her recently released single Do It Like A Dude. The first four lines of the song announce ''Stomp, stop I've arrived'' and this ultimately fierce look will cause a stir wherever you wear it and ensure you always make an entrance. Take notes as YouTube artist Pixi2woo shows us how to recreate this look and below the tutorial video we've also put up Jessie J's amazing performance for you to enjoy!! <3

Glam Guilty Pleasure...Gold...

Our ultimate Glam Guilty Pleasure is Gold. No matter what the seasonal trend dictates we find a way to incorporate gold into our looks for both day and night. Gold is incredibly versatile and comes in a variety of cosmetic products. It can be used as a pigment added to a lotion or creme foundation to add a subtle glow used as an accentual eyeshadow to make your look really pop and even literally applied to the skin for an artistic, bold editorial or high fashion look. One warning is to be careful that the gold you are using isn't to brassy or yellow for your skin tone. If you are using it for a wearable day or night look the key is to use golds that highlight, pop and glow against your skin. For eyes, Barry M's Dazzle Dust in Marigold is an excellent loose eyeshadow that is a vibrant, warm ,true gold colour that matches most skin tones. (Gold goes fantastically with purples and browns.)

If you covet a Midas Kiss for that extraordinary glamorous look, keep eyes bold and black to really make a statement with your gold lips. A fantastic, luxurious way to achieve gold lips is Dolce and Gabbana's Shine Lipstick in Gold from the ultra luxe shopping centre Harrods - At £22 its not overly expensive and is excellent value for money.

For cheeks and face GloMinerals gloDust in 24K Gold is a fabulous loose highlighter that can be mixed or applied directly for a glam guilded glow. You can also mix this with body lotion for an all over shimmer to enhance your tan or just for extra wow-factor when going out for the night.

  

If you want to create a uber-glam gold look but not sure how, here are some fabulous looks. And as always, a tutorial after the jump. Today's tutorial is by YouTube artist KlairedelysArt and she will show you how to create a gorgeous look using gold and purple.  Enjoy!! <3

Its in HER eyes...O_o

 When it comes to creating the perfect face we believe its all in the eyes. Whether you have blue, brown, hazel or green eyes, making them pop with your makeup should be your number one priority next to correcting and perfecting your complexion.

A lot of people think that just smearing tons and tons of eyeliner is enough to do the job and while it can work sometimes when creating a vampy, Gothic look, there are many many other ways to open and emphasise your peepers with eyeshadow colour, lashes (super important) and liners. If you want to get experimental we recommend buying a eyeshadow palette with tons of colours like the BH Cosmetics 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 3rd Edition and a good set of brushes so you have the tools to really create fantastic advanced looks. If you already have a brush set but need more brushes for eye makeup application the Eye Essential 12 Piece Antibacterial Makeup Brush Set - Studio Line is great as it contains all the brushes you need.

You will also need the tools for great lashes. We suggest getting two mascaras, one for lengthening and another for thickening as layering your mascara will acheive a much better effect than relying on one to do both jobs. Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascarais absolutely FANTASTIC at lengthening without clumps or being too thin and Estee Lauder MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara thickens lashes like no other without crumbling.  If you want a good set of false lashes but don't want to spend a fortune Amazon.com and Ebay both sell boxes of 10 Pair Long Black Professional False Eyelashes in Romantic Black for less than £5/$4 . These lashes are great quality for their price, disposable and wear very well.

One of the absolute best liquid eyeliners (even though its cheap) is Rimmel Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Eyeliner Pitch Black as this glides on beautifully, stays on all day and is a deep black pigment that is grayish in any way.  Barry M Intense Eyeliner Pen in Black gets Glam Angel top marks for a pencil eyeliner and for gel liner MAC Fluidline Eye Liner Gel in Blacktrack is a winner as despite its price tag, its unbeatable in staying power and depth of colour -not to mention it glides on wonderfully !!

Now you have your basic eyes only kit take a look at our collection of eye look inspirations!! Oh and as always we've popped in a tutorial by MakeUpGeek (on of our fav's) on how to create an intense but wonderfully gorgeous Arabic Eye. Enjoy!! <3
