We loved Ella Henderson’s retro makeup look on Sunday night, so we asked the official X Factor make-up artist, Julia Carta, to explain exactly how to recreate this amazing look.

1) For a look like this it is essential to prepare your skin first. We gave Ella an Eve Taylor facial to loosen dead skin cells and smooth the skin surface. I then used Vita Liberata Skin Plumping Peptide Mist to regulate the pH level of her skin.

2) Next I applied Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Complexion Potion, giving it time to settle before I applied make-up.

Katie Holmes has been confirmed as the celebrity face of cosmetics brand Bobbi Brown.

The beauty company has never before used a celebrity to promote its range, preferring to use the image of Bobbi Brown herself.

Bobbi explains the reasons why she chose Katie: "Katie Holmes epitomises the modern 'Bobbi woman' - I think of her as the modern day Ali McGraw, who I have always admired.
