We spend lots of time focusing on what stars wear, but what about what they put on their faces? Although makeup may not seem important, plenty of women won't leave home without it.
In a survey,two-thirds of British women said that heading to the office bare-facedcaused them more stress than public speaking, going on a first date or enduring a job interview. 91 percent of women surveyed would rather cancel a first date altogether than go without makeup on. And in the U.S., women spend around $7 billion on cosmetics every year.
With all that beauty-obsession (and our own love of makeup) in mind, we're taking a look at This Week In Beauty. From this week forward, we'll be showcasing the best, worst and most interesting styles of hair, makeup and nails that we came across this week. Take a look, get inspired and vote for your faves!

Smoky Blue Eyes
Usually, when someone thinks of the smoky eye look, they think black or gray. But Kat Graham proves when done right, blue liner and shadow work well as a great game changer. (FilmMagic photo)
Blonde Moment
Model Crystal Renn recently went blonde in a seriously drastic move. This photo, taken at the New Year's In April: A Fool's Fete dinner dance, show her makeup, hair and over-the-top brows... we say two out of three (bonde hair, blonde brows, red lips) might work, but three's a bit much.

Wine Stain

Half-Shaved Wonder
Ellie Goulding brought her bold hair to the ELLE Women In Music Event in California this week. But getting another look at the singer's partially-shaved look doesn't make us like it any more... we're sort of hoping that patch over the left ear just grows back. (Getty photo)
Lady Red Lips
Model Lv Yan attended a showing of Christian Dior's couture collection in Shanghai sporting strong matte red lipstick -- honestly it's the best red lip we've seen in a long time. (Getty photo)
