Armani reportedly signed on the Australian actress to be the new face of their fragrance, signing a $10 million check to boot. Though the pairing of Cate and Armani isn't all too shocking, we can barely pick our jaws up off the floor at the major pay off happening. Considering Brad Pitt signed with Chanel for $7 million and we were shocked then, we can only imagine how large these perfume pay days will become in the future.

Beauty Balms When BB cream was introduced to the U.S. back in 2011, the beauty world fell for the product hard. Between cutting down the amount of steps in your morning makeup routine from five to one and making your skin look flawless, BB cream could do no wrong. Once the new skin care product blew up on the market, company after company hopped on the bandwagon to get a piece of the beauty balm pie, and shortly after, companies went a step further to create CC cream, a product with all of the perks of a BB cream plus an anti-aging twist. Now, Julep has announced that they'll be debuting DD cream, yet another letter down the alphabet for "diminishing and disguising."

Highlighting certain features of the face can be super flattering for the spring time, if done properly. By illuminating specific areas of the face, you're putting them in the spotlight, but don't think taking a face powder with tons of shimmer and applying it all over will give you a flattering look. All good things must come in moderation (even glitter).

When it comes to brightening any part of the skin, it's always a good idea to stick with the "less is more" mindset. Features like cheek bones, under the brow and cupids bow, nose area, chin and forehead are all prime targets to apply some sort of illuminator. We put together every highlighter tip for your face, from where to put a brightener to which products you should be using. Take a look through the slideshow above to see some of our favorite celebrities exemplifying the highlighted, fresh-faced look.
