Star style resolutions
Friday 30th December 2011, 11:50AM GMT.
Making a resolution doesn’t have to be all about quitting. Whether it’s stocking up the beauty cabinet or adding to your wardrobe, overindulge your favourite habits instead and make 2012 your most beautiful year yet.
If you’re stuck for good intention inspiration, these celebrities have their New Year goals sussed. Here are some resolutions you’ll surely want to keep…
Facial finesse
Coleen Rooney: “I already cleanse, tone and moisturise every morning and night, but I’d love to get a facial every six weeks. I like the natural look, so fresh, clean skin is key.”
- Entrepreneurial WAG Coleen’s latest fragrance Butterflies (from £25) is available at Selfridges
Regular rejuvenation
Liv Tyler: “I aim to use a mask on a weekly basis. I don’t get enough sleep being a mum, working and travelling, so masks are important – I use Givenchy Black For Light Mask (£59.50) to instantly brighten my skin.”
- Actress Liv Tyler is the face of Givenchy
Fashionably fit
Davina McCall: “Post-workout, I love easy-to-wear pieces such as slouchy tops that fall off the shoulder. But when I’m working out, I want to wear something a bit wow and zingy – I really like bright colours.”
- Presenter Davina has teamed up with Next to design a new fitness range, out spring 2012
Me-time treat
Gok Wan: “My beauty New Year’s resolution is to set aside at least an hour a week for some much needed pampering. You forget how great it makes you feel and with my busy schedule, I never get enough time to indulge in it.”
- The TV stylist’s pampering range Gorgeous by Gok is available from Boots
Lighten up
Sadie Frost:
“My New Year’s fashion resolution is to wear more colour – I wear far too much black. I also need to stop living in my yoga clothes for business meetings.”
- Fashion designer Sadie Frost is co-founder of Floozie by Frost French lingerie, available at Debenhams
Heavenly hair
Louise Redknapp: “I’m all about hair for 2012. It’s much easier to keep my new darker shade looking healthy and shiny, so I may experiment with the style a little now. It’s always nice to have a change.”
- TV presenter Louise Redknapp is the face (and hair) of Schwarzkopf’s LIVE Salon Style range, available from Boots
Wardrobe detox
Lynda Bellingham: “I will be getting rid of any clothes I haven’t worn for more than six months and making sure that everything I have is a wardrobe staple that I’ll wear time and time again.”
- Actress Lynda Bellingham is style ambassador for ladies fashion retailer Isme (www.isme.com)

Skin-kind diet

More pampering

Massage mission

Chill out

Healthy hydration
Grace Woodward: “Drink more water. I hate drinking water but it’s great for your skin. I also plan to go to bikram yoga weekly, not monthly!”

Clean living
Jamelia: “My beauty resolution is to begin a healthier routine, but my birthday is on January 11 so my New Year resolutions always start on the 12th, not the 1st!”
- Singer Jamelia is backing the music industry’s Parental Advisory scheme
Saddle up
Anna Ryder Richardson: “For 2012, I’d really like to focus on expanding my equestrian look. Everything from leather riding boots, vintage pocket squares and even a button front cape and scarf. Fabulous!”
- TV presenter Anna Ryder Richardson is a style consultant for Magnet Kitchens
Effortless tresses
