TIFF 2012’S BEST BEAUTY MOMENTS
- 1/22
BEST BUN: Diane Kruger: We love Kruger's top knot and loose strands. Frankly, this woman can do no wrong. To create a similar look, flip hair upside down and tie into a high ponytail at the crown of your head. Flip upright and wrap hair into a bun around the elastic. Use a pair of spin pins for extra hold before pinning the style into place with bobby pins. photo credit: George Pimentel

FLARE pick: Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin, $8 for two, at mass market retailers.
- 3/22
BEST VAMP: Jennifer Lawrence: We love everything about this look: the long silky brunette locks, the golden tan, the berry lip (and the Dior Couture dress!). It's a little bit vamp, but in the most wearable way. To get the look, line lips with a colourless lip liner before filling them in with deep plum. Smudge a matching lipstick on top and you're all grown up and ready to hit the town. photo credit: George Pimentel

FLARE pick: Burberry Lip Velvet in Bright Poppy, $36, exclusive to Holt Renfrew Vancouver and Toronto in October.
- 5/22
BEST GIRLY PRETTY: Saoirse Ronan: With her porcelain skin, soft pink lips and rosy cheeks, Ronan nails the girly pretty look. (Though at only 18 years old, her age does kind of give her an advantage.) For a similar flush, deposit a soft pink blush on the apples of your cheeks. Don't blend the colour too much! photo credit: George Pimentel

FLARE pick: Lorac PRO Powder Cheek Stain in Petal Pink, $26, sephora.com.

Was there ever even a competition? Cotillard's effortless beauty and essential "French-ness" is the perfect counterpoint to this curvaceous updo. Use a strong hold hairspray with shine to achieve this sleek look. photo credit: George Pimentel

FLARE pick: L'Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Lumière Hairspray, $15, at mass market retailers.
- 9/22
BEST RISKTAKER: Eva Mendes: Mendes could have worn a sack to TIFF this year and she'd still be the envy of all women (what with a certain Ryan on her arm), but instead she chose to glam it up with a smoky eye, neutral lip and black turban. The risky headwear paid off: She reminds us of a young Sophia Loren. To pull off a turban without looking costume-y, keep your makeup simple: black liner, a hint of bronzer, a soft lip and you're out the door. Photo by George Pimentel

BEST SMOKEY EYE: Keira Knightley: On the film fest circuit promoting Anna Karenina, Keira looked radiant and sultry with a smudgy brown and black eye. For a similar look, choose a shadow palette with a variety of brown and bronze hues. Use the darkest shade to line your upper and lower lashes and the lightest to highlight your brow bone.

FLARE pick: Smashbox Image Factory Photo Op Eye Shadow Palette in Muse, $44, sephora.com.
- 15/22
BEST LOOK WITH ATTITUDE: Jada Pinkett Smith: With a partially shaved head and completely bare back, Jada really worked TIFF's red carpet (and at a tiny five feet, even stole the spotlight from 6-2 hubby Will Smith). Before showing off a little skin, make sure to exfoliate and moisturize! Photo by George Pimentel

FLARE pick: Yves Rocher Super-Soft Body Lotion, $14, yvesrocher.ca.
- 17/22
BEST RED LIP: Nina Dobrev: Dobrev's vibrant red lip is everything you want a red lip to be: sexy and eye catching. The colour verges on neon, which suits her tanned skin. Don't be afraid to go bright. Just make sure you choose a warm, orange-based red if you have warm-toned skin and a cool, blue-based red if you're cool-toned. Photo by George Pimentel
- 18/22
FLARE pick: Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pure Couture The Mats in Orange Imagine, $38, thebay.com.

BEST CAT EYE: Zhu Zhu: Chinese actress Zhu Zhu caught our eye by accentuating her look with subtle touch of eyeliner for the Cloud Atlas premiere. To achieve this look, use a light, neutral eye shadow to even the tone of your eyelids, then let the medium-thick black cat eye steal the show. Photo by George Pimentel
- 20/22
FLARE pick: Nars Eyeliner Stylo in Carpates, $32, narscosmetics.ca.
- 21/22
BEST GLOW: Kate Hudson: Mother of two and daughter of Goldie Hawn, Hudson never looks anything but, well, golden. At TIFF this year, she looked tanned, glowy and her sculpted cheekbones were amaaaazing. To get this gorgeous glow, use a highlighter on your high points and a touch of blush on cheeks.
