When the warmer months come around, the last thing you want is to wear a face full of heavy foundation. BB creams are a great alternative as they offer lighter wear, but buildable coverage. But with so many on the market right now, it can be a bit daunting to find the best products out there.

So, a few of the editors at MSN.ca decided to test drive some drugstore BB creams. 

Here are our findings:

Jennifer Lawrence at The Great Gatsby Premiere

Last week, Jennifer Lawrence made a bold move and showed that less is really more by going bare-faced to the premiere of The Great Gatsby in New York. 

The minimal to no-makeup look is a change for Lawrence, who usually opts for smokey eyes and pink lips when hitting the red carpet. But at only 22 years old, why shouldn't Lawrence show off her youthful and flawless complexion? 

I spoke to makeup artist Allana Mizra on how to get the look and let your natural beauty shine:

Just like you have a different wardrobe of clothing for fall/winter and spring/summer, you should have separate wardrobes for each season when it comes to your skincare products. 

And with the weather finally getting warmer (is it just me, or did that seem like one of the longest winters ever?), it's time to transition into your spring skincare routine. 

"Our skin condition is different from winter to summer," explains Amy Chen, Scientific Communication and Training Leader of SkinCeuticals. "In the winter our skin tends to be drier, and in the summer our face tends to produce more sebum [that oily substance that helps prevent our hair and skin from drying out]. Therefore, it is important to use proper skincare to adapt to different skin conditions." 

Not too sure how to build your spring skincare wardrobe? Here are some staples:

Not surprisingly, there has been a ton of buzz surrounding the fashion in Baz Lurhmann’s remake of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (in theatres May 10^th). Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Martin collaborated with Tiffany & Co. for the jewels and Brooks Brothers for the menswear seen in the film adaptation of the classic American novel -- a nod to the authenticity of the film, as F. Scott Fitzgerald was a customer of both brands.

Rowenta Beauty Versa Style

We women tend to always want what we don't have -- especially when it comes to hair. While I long for big, voluminous curls, my curly-haired friends envy my pin-straight locks. 

And though we can't exactly change our hair permanently, we can manipulate it with styling tools. The only problem? It can get costly to invest in, especially when we require different tools for different hairstyles. 

That's where Rowenta Beauty's Versa Style comes in handy. This all-in-one styling tool allows you to create several different hair looks; from sleek and straight, to big bouncy curls and everything in between. 

Essie Lead Nail Artist, Rita Remark

Rita Remark certainly had her (perfectly manicured) hands full at World MasterCard Fashion Week. As the lead nail artist for Essie Canada, the Toronto native was responsible for creating nail looks for eight shows, including Chloe comme Parris, Pink Tartan and MIZ by Izzy Camilleri.

We caught up with Remark backstage at the tents to chat about her creative process and the nail trends we should expect for fall.  

Anti-aging hair products...sounds like a marketing scam, right? 

Wrong. Though signs of aging are visible when it comes to our skin, it's not so obvious when it comes to our hair. But as we age, our hair becomes thinner, more brittle and loses its natural suppleness. 

Last Thursday, we headed backstage at Andrew Richard Designs to check out Comrags' Fall 2013 collection at The shOws. 

Though beauty on the runway can often be a little bit too crazy for everday, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the Comrags beauty look was something that could be worn in real-life and easily recreated at home. 

"At a lot of shows, the makeup doesn't look too wearable," said Greg Wencel, celebrity makeup artist and CoverGirl makeup pro who created the look. "When we met with [Comrags designers] Judish Corish and Joyce Gunhouse, they wanted to make sure that it was something that made a statement, but something that someone wouldn't be afraid to actually try."

Wencel's inspiration? A youthful, look reminiscent of a Parisian girl or models backstage sipping wine.  

"The Comrags girl has something healthy and organic about her. It's a polished look, that's super pretty and very wearable," he explained.

Wencel gave us a rundown on how to recreate the look at home, using CoverGirl cosmetics: 

I love trying out new beauty products and brands, so when I heard that BECCA Cosmetics (a line loved by Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyonce and Kate Moss, to name a few) was launching in Canada exclusively at Sephora, I was super excited to check it out.

It's been a week after Jennifer Lawrence's Oscar win, and I'm still obsessing over her stunning red carpet look. 

And while it may be difficult to snag her haute couture gown, J.Law's winning nail look won't put a dent in your wallet.
