Diane Kruger Diane Kruger can basically do no wrong in our eyes when it comes to both beauty and fashion looks, and she was stunning once again on the red carpet last night for the premiere of her latest movie, "The Host." The actress stunned in a black sheer Thakoon dress (with considerable side-boob) and a dapper Joshua Jackson on her arm, but what really caught our eye was her sleek and straight locks - a stunning trend for the spring season. She finished the look with a subtle beige shadow on her eyes and soft pink lip.

Bold Lipsticks We're firm subscribers to the belief that bold lipstick can make your life better, so when we heard that science has now proven that bold lipstick can also make you look younger, we got pretty giddy. According to a study conducted by Professor Richard Russell and researchers from C.E.R.I.E.S. (Epidermal and Sensory Research and Investigation Center), the contrast that lipstick creates when applied makes the wearer appear younger. Through the aging process, the colors of the lips, eyes and eyebrows change and the skin becomes darker, resulting in less of a contrast between the different areas of the face. What this means in plain English is that older faces are left with a more monotone look, while younger faces have a greater contrast between the different facial features. When lipstick was applied to the subjects, respondents said that they appeared younger, due to the redness in the lips suggesting health and beauty.

Spring's warmer weather, though entirely welcome, means a change must be made to our daily skincare routine. After a long winter of using heavy creams to combat the drying effects of harsh temperatures, the skin has different needs as the weather warms up outside. By switching to a lightweight moisturizer for spring, you'll be minimizing the clogging of pores and the oily skin that tends to happen when our bodies are in warmer temperatures.

Whether you've got dry or oily skin, you're looking for a tinted moisturizer or an anti-aging lotion, there's a lightweight moisturizer that will suit your needs for spring. The most important thing to remember as the sun starts to shine more often? Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. Despite whether you'll be out in the sun's rays or cooped up in an office building all day, SPF is a must. So, of course, most of the spring appropriate lotions we love contain SPF. We've put together a list of lightweight moisturizers

"Since it was a daytime premiere, I wanted Emma's makeup to feel fresh and playful," Goodwin tells us. "I used warm metallics to create a softer version of a smokey eye and paired it with a soft beige on her cheeks and lips. To prep the skin, I focused on the perimeter of her face, dabbing product gently onto her cheekbones, temples, jawline and neck, then applied Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in Vanilla to the center of the face, fanning it toward the edges with a beauty blender sponge."

For the eyes, Rachel used a warm brown eyeshadow from Revlon

This spring, we're huge fans of infusing a little bit of color into your usual beauty routine. With so many gorgeous hues in the beauty realm that we bypass simply because we don't think we can pull off certain shades, now's the time to be bold. When applied correctly and done in moderation, a pop of color can brighten any rainy April day, and brightly colored hair and makeup are right on trend for spring.

From hot pinks to tantalizing teals and pretty purples, color can really be your best friend. Brands like Make Up For Ever and Urban Decay are known for their immaculate collections of color. We've covered color pops from bold lips to multi-colored hair, from runway to real life, and these are our tips on applying the attention-grabbing shades at home. We hope you'll put on some bright pink lipstick and pigmented nail polish, making a statement this spring.
