My pick of beauty news from around the web, delivered in bite-sized form:

See those four lipsticks above? Well, they are among the top 10 most searched for lipsticks on the Internet – and when it comes to all things lippie we’re going crazy for matte! The top three are from Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel and Smashbox. For the full list click here
Elle – Bangs are Back
So now that both Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift have been spotted sporting bangs, the framed-face look is definitely back (though Elle seems to think that Gigi’s might be clip-ons!). I seem to remember reporting on the return of the fringe in my last Beauty Buzz here. You can check out Elle’s story here.
Allure and MTV.com – Looks Rocking at the MTV Movie Awards
Beachy hair, playful updos, and fun, fresh makeup – favoured looks spotted at this year’s MTV Movie Awards. I’m all for the natural look so a big thumbs up to singer Halsey’s makeup (not pictured so you’ll need to check out the original story). But I’m not getting Cara’s hairline braid – it looks like she’s got a snake crawling through her hair. Allure story here. MTV.com story here.
Look – the Foilyage Hair Trend
Want to get heads turning this Summer? Then ask your hairdresser for Foilyage highlights – a new take on Balayage. Like its predecessor Foilyage is where colour is painted directly on to hair, but here foil strips are also applied. This extra process helps to create a more intense sun-kissed look. More here.

From Lancôme's new Juicy Tubes, to new YSL mascara in jade green and pink shades, Marie Claire lists the new launches that will take us on a trip down memory lane (see 90s Drew Barrymore above for look inspo).
