This season is all about fresh, dewy skin, neutral eyes and flashes of bright, bold colour on the lips. Take your inspiration from the catwalks of Stella McCartney, Donna Karen, Derek Lam and Hermes for proof.

You can get that just applied feeling all day by following these great beauty tips.

The key to glowing, dewy skin is a super-light foundation that lets skin breath, whilst giving a flawless, flattering finish. No7 make-up artist and creative director, Lisa Eldridge, advises: "Apply just enough moisturiser so that most sinks in and just a little dewy layer is left on top. Apply the foundation in thin, well-blended layers."

Lisa also advises: "This look isn"t about the cheeks so hold the rosy blusher. Instead, gently blend a subtle shade of bronzer along the cheekbones to naturally sculpt and define."

Models at the Luella, Michael Kors and Rykiel spring/summer 09 shows all sported bright, bold, statement lips. Go for bright red or pink, depending on your skintone. Red will suit paler girls while bronzed beauties should go for pink. Lisa advises: "Stains are the modern way of wearing strong lip colour. Simply brush the colour straight onto natural lips (not onto balm or moisturiser), to create an all day stain. Then apply the super shiny gloss on top for a 3D effect."

Follow these looks and people will think you've stepped straight off Stella's catwalk!
