Between her shaved head, ever-changing wigs and perpetually bold lips, Jessie J has tried everything when it comes to glam. Add in the fact that she’s her own makeup artist, and the singer is basically a beauty Renaissance woman. Which is why it’s no surprise that she’s partnering with Make Up For Ever as the face of their #iamanartist campaign. The 28-year-old star teamed with the brand to create four makeup collections, all launching in 2017.

Rowan Atkinson has spoken about Mr Bean as the comedy character turns 25 years old.
The actor recalled the origins of the "vindictive" Bean and contemplated the success of the "outrageously self-centred" character.
"There are moments of sentimentality in Bean but normally it's undermined pretty rapidly by his outrageously self-centred and self-regarding behaviour," Atkinson told The La Times.
"I certainly always enjoyed the vindictive side of Bean, and I think it's interesting to have your cake and eat it.
"I think sometimes he can be rather sweet, as children can, and sometimes he can be extremely unpleasant, as children can. He covers the child spectrum, I think, quite well."
On his intentions for the character, Atkinson added: "I remember feeling the frustration of the parochial nature of comedy and thinking how nice it would be if one could break that tradition and find something that was of genuine international appeal."

Rowan Atkinson is to reprise his role of Mr Bean in a one-off sketch.
The daft character will mark his 25th anniversary in a skit for Comic Relief later this year, the BBC confirmed.
A BBC spokesperson said: 'I can confirm there is a Mr Bean sketch for Red Nose Day on Friday, March 13".
Since the show came to an end in 1995, Atkinson has only appeared in one TV sketch, a wedding scene for Comic Relief in 2007.
However, Mr Bean has appeared in two feature films, a cartoon series, several music videos, adverts and a special sketch during the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.
A new run of The Mr Bean Animated Series will also debut on ITV in February.
Atkinson's appearance as the Archbishop of Canterbury during Comic Relief in 2013 was judged to have broken rules about offensive language, discrimination and offence against religious beliefs.

It sees Carrey team up with the band Eels on a comic country-and-western number, Cold Dead Hand, mocking Charlton Heston and Us gun-lovers. Backed by a band including John Lennon, Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln (all killed by guns), Carrey's alter ego Lonesome Earl accuses gun enthusiasts of having small penises, and sings: "On the ones who sell the guns/ [God would] set the vultures and coyotes/ Only the devil's true devotees/ Could profiteer from pain and fear."

A Comic Relief sketch featuring Rowan Atkinson impersonating the Archbishop of Canterbury has attracted more than 2,000 complaints.
Before the 9pm watershed on March 15, the Mr Bean star posed as a fictional version of the religious leader during a three-minute skit on BBC One.
He made a number of jokes, including comparing One Direction to Jesus's disciples, saying prayer "doesn't work" and advising viewers that Jesus said "love your neighbours", but not "shag your neighbours".
The BBC received over 2,200 complaints about the routine, with a quarter objecting to the religious context. The corporation has already removed the skit from catch up service iPlayer.
In total, the BBC got more than 3,000 complaints about the Comic Relief charity fundraising night of programming, which drew a peak audience of 12.2m people and raised over £75 million for good causes.

Hugh Bonneville has seemingly taken issue with Rowan Atkinson's Comic Relief sketch about the Church of England.
The Downton Abbey actor queried on Twitter whether the Red Nose Day broadcast featured a similarly funny mockery of Islam.
"Had to go out after Rowan Atkinson's 'shagging' sketch taking the piss out of the CofE. Was there a funny one about Islam later on? #rnd," he asked on the night of the broadcast (March 16).
Today (March 18) he added: "Happy to clarify #rnd CofE tweet - I went out to dinner, therefore missed piss-take of Islam sketch, if there was one :)
"I also thought Rowan A's #rnd sketch was beautifully observed; was interested by pre-watershed timing #trollon."
Bonneville read theology at Corpus Christi College at the University of Cambridge and later said he "went into Cambridge an atheist and came out an agnostic".

It's hard to feel charitable towards Richard Curtis's malaria drama. There was more bite in Simon Cowell's dog's dinner
Mary and Martha (BBC1) | iPlayer

Heading Out (BBC2) | iPlayer
Drama in aid of a worthy cause is not always more a pleasure than a duty, and Richard Curtis's feature-length Mary and Martha – an early curtain-raiser for Red Nose Day – was no exception. If its aim was to draw attention to the thousands of African children who die needlessly each year from malaria, all I can say is, it felt like it. I hope that doesn't sound too uncharitable. But I would have been as happy with a decent documentary as with this glossy weepie about two mums – one American, one English – having the bad luck to have a beloved son bitten to death by a mosquito in Mozambique and then...
