Anne Hathaway used this exact lightweight foundation for her flawless complexion as she walked the red carpet at the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere, and it’s 20% off for a limited time

The promo tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2 might be over, but with the film only just landing in cinemas this weekend it’ll be a while before we stop obsessing over the cast and their looks. During the recent premiere in Shanghai, Anne Hathaway walked the red carpet in a candy-coloured tulle dress, which was complemented perfectly by her soft, romantic makeup.

For hours spent doing publicity under the hot lights, picking the right foundation was essential to making sure it not only lasted all day but prevented shine too, which is why she wore the Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick. It gives a radiant, natural finish without looking shiny, with a formula that doesn’t budge even after hours of wear.

It combines a foundation and concealer in one, so you can use it for touch ups on blemishes or dark circles, or use it all over your face for a solid base. It melts into the skin which is what gives it a more natural-looking finish, and the stick formula makes it easy to apply on the go, so if you do need a top up you can do it in seconds.

We love makeup that includes some skincare benefits, which is why the Vital Skin Foundation Stick is a top pick. It’s packed with antioxidants, calming actives and camellia seed oil, so it not only covers up imperfections, but helps combat redness, even out your skin tone and soothe irritated skin, all whilst boosting moisture.

For the Bank Holiday weekend, Space NK has slashed almost all of Westman Atelier’s makeup products by 20%, which is good news for anyone hoping to copy Anne’s red carpet look. Her makeup artist Gucci Westman (founder of Westman Atelier) used a full face of products from the brand on Anne, including the Vital Skin Foundation Stick which is also on sale. It usually retails for £62, but is currently available for £49.60 making it a big saving.

If this is still a little bit of a splurge for your beauty bag, some similar formulas include the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick which is £37 from Charlotte Tilbury, and The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick from Merit which you can pick up for £34. Both come in a stick formula, with a hydrating, glow-boosting finish and a broad shade range to choose from.

But despite its high end price tag, the Vital Skin Foundation Stick worn by Anne is a firm favourite, racking up over 1000 five-star reviews from Space NK shoppers.

One said: “This is my favourite make up and I have repeatedly repurchased it. It’s compact and great for travelling. It has a beautiful matte finish and lasts all day. During the winter I apply a richer moisturiser and it still works great. The packaging is very pretty and expensive looking. I want to try the blush and other products in the range too.”

Another wrote: “This stick foundation is of really high quality and there is a wide range of colours available. It is easy to apply and buildable. I had my foundation stick for over a year and found it great as an everyday go to. Also ideal for hand luggage, as it is not classed as a liquid! Beautiful packaging/case too. I’m very fond of this beauty brand.”

Some were less pleased, with one saying: “As much as I wanted to like it, it’s not worth the money that I spent on it. First of all, it’s not really clean, as it contains a lot of allergens; secondly, it disappears from my oily skin quite quickly. On a positive note, however, the shade was chosen correctly and it didn’t oxidize throughout the day.”

On Thursday, the terrorism threat was raised in the wake of the Golder Green stabbing, meaning a terror attack is “highly likely”.

The force in Greater Manchester have said that the safety of everyone in the community remains their “highest priority” and they will work, “day and night”, to keep residents safe.

A spokesperson said: “The safety of everyone within our communities remains our highest priority, and Greater Manchester Police will continue to work, day and night, to keep you safe.

“Following the terror attack in Golders Green, London, earlier this week, extra patrols were deployed around the city-region, with a particular focus on providing a high-visibility presence within our Jewish communities, and this will continue.

“We will work closely with our partners, and the approach will be continually reviewed in light of the change in threat level.

“Our neighbourhood policing teams will remain visible and accessible in your area, and we will continue to engage with all our communities across Greater Manchester.

“While you, the public, are urged to remain alert, not alarmed, we ask you trust your instincts, and if something doesn’t feel right, please report it to gov.uk/ACT. In an emergency, always call 999.”

The decision is not solely a result of the Golders Green attack, the Home Office said, adding that the terrorist threat level in the UK has been “rising for some time, driven by an increase in broader Islamist and extreme right-wing terrorist threat from individuals and small groups based in the UK”.

It also comes against a backdrop of “increased state-linked physical threats which is encouraging acts of violence, including against the Jewish community”, it added.

In October, two people were killed at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue.

The Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester issued a statement on social media that said “a growing sense of vulnerability and concern” had been reinforced within Jewish communities across the country.

The statement read: “The JRC is deeply shocked by the terrorist attack in Golders Green targeting members of the Jewish community. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families at this painful time.

“This attack, like the recent terrorist incident at Heaton Park Synagogue, sends shockwaves far beyond those directly affected. It resonates deeply with Jewish communities across the country, reinforcing a growing sense of vulnerability and concern.

“We urge the Government to take decisive action to address the factors that are radicalising individuals to target British Jews in such violent and deadly ways. There must be a renewed commitment to tackling anti-Jewish racism in all its forms to ensure the safety and security of our community. The perpetrators must face the full force of the law”.

Head of Counter Terrorism Policing Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said officers have seen an “elevated threat” to the Jewish community.

Speaking outside New Scotland Yard, he said: “Our casework is increasing across a number of ideologies, and within that, we are seeing an elevated threat to Jewish and Israeli individuals and institutions in the UK.

“We’re also working against an unpredictable global situation that has consequences closer to home, including physical threats by state-linked actors.”

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood urged people to be “vigilant”.

“I know this will be a source of concern to many, particularly amongst our Jewish community, who have suffered so much,” she said.

“As the threat level rises, I urge everyone to be vigilant, as they go about their daily lives, and report any concerns they have to the police. And I can assure everyone that our world-class security services and the police are working, day and night, to keep our country safe.”

The Daily Records series on unsolved gangland murders this week looks at the deaths of two men who were murdered after a night out at the greyhound racing.

The remote dirt track running through an abandoned scrapyard had over the years been a place for fly tipping, courting couples and where joy riders would abandoned their stolen vehicles.

However it served a more sinister purpose one afternoon in October, 2001.

The bodies of two men had been found next to a burned out black Volkswagen Golf car at the spot in Larkhall, Lanarkshire.

Both victims had been shot and were quickly identified as small time Lanarkshire criminals John Hall, 45, from Carluke and 33 year old David Macintosh from neighbouring Wishaw.

The previous night they had visited an unlicensed greyhound track in Gretna Green on the Scottish Border and spotted in the same black Volkswagen which belonged to Macintosh.

They placed bets, had drinks, and watched the dogs run.

By the following afternoon both men were dead in the abandoned scrap yard alongside the rusting cars.

The murder scene was also next to one off Scotland’s best known go karting venues Summerlee Raceway, where racing drivers David Coulthard, Dario Franchitti, and Allan McNish had started off.

Soon it emerged that the two victims may have stepped out of their league with fatal consequences.

It was claimed they they had acquired a consignment of cocaine, worth around £120,000, on credit from a major underworld figure the previous year.

The drugs had been stashed by an associate in a locker at a cable television firm in Livingston, West Lothian where he worked as a storeman.

However the drugs were found by police after a tip off possibly due to the fact he was selling to colleagues.

The associate, who also owed the two men money, was arrested and jailed for six years in December 2000.

It meant Hall and McIntosh were left with nothing, no drugs, no money, and a debt they couldn’t repay.

Ten months later they were both dead.

Strathclyde Police launched a major inquiry led by Detective Superintendent John Carnochan.

A team of more than 50 police officers were involved in the hunt for the killer or killers.

However door-to-door inquiries, CCTV checks, and numerous witness appeals failed to provide any significant leads or evidence leading to an arrest.

Twenty-four years later no one has ever been charged.

The execution appeared a classic gangland hit with a message clearly being sent out – but by whom.

Police inquiries focused on a violent 46 year old career criminal from Paisley who shared the two victims’ interest in greyhound racing.

He owned several of the animals and had recently failed in a six figure bid to buy a dog track in West Lothian.

Detective Supt Carnochan revealed sightings of the two victims in Gretna at 8pm were the last time they had been seen alive.

Their bodies were found around 4pm the following day by two men out walking.

The focus of the police inquiry was the 20 hour window between when they were killed and their bodies dumped

It’s feared the man to whom they allegedly owed the drugs debt had run out of patience and did not want to lose face.

A source said at the time: “Your man was not prepared to wait any longer for his money. After 10 months and plenty of warnings he had to have them taken out.

“It was unfortunate for them but he couldn’t be seen to do nothing.”

Police described the two men as friends who were last seen by their families at 6pm before they left for Gretna.

Hall lived with his wife and two teenage daughters. He also had a 23-year-old son from a previous relationship. Mr McIntosh lived with his partner.

Mr Carnochan said at the time: ”We are being helped by the two families involved so far, who are understandably pretty distraught.

This is a father and a husband and it’s quite tragic circumstances that we are dealing with.”

It was not clear if the two victims were alive or dead when they arrived at the murder scene.

Police said they did not appear to have been taken there forcibly.

They also discounted links to the unsolved murders two years earlier of two other Lanarkshire men John Nisbet and William Lindsay who had also been shot dead.

Their burned out bodies were found dumped next to a farmers track near the East Lothian town of Tranent.

The week of the double murder of Hall and McIntosh proved to be a bad one for Larkhall.

A few days later one of the areas biggest employers Daks Simpson said it was closing with the loss of 400 jobs.

That same week the families of the two men visited the spot where they were found and laid flowers.

Graeme Pearson, former Director General of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, says murders linked to organised crime can be more difficult to solve with people more reluctant to come forward with information.

He added:”There was information doing the rounds that indicated there had been a drugs debt.

“It was thought that someone came from down south to settle the thing and indeed they did by killing the two.

“Nothing came out of it thereafter. John Carnochan conducted a very energetic inquiry and was keen to have it resolved.

“But I didn’t think they got more than scraping the surface.”

Mr Pearson continued:”The victims were not part of any active well known criminal groups who were being monitored by the police at that time.

“It had become evident to whoever they owed the money that it wasn’t going to be paid.

“The dealer would reckon that if he is not seen to deal with it with it immediately. then it is going to happen again.

“When there is a drug debt the guy can’t allow that to happen to him or he becomes a joke.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “The murders of John Hall and David McIntosh remain unresolved. Unresolved murders are cases that are never closed and Police Scotland is fully committed to identifying those people responsible for all such cases.

“Police Scotland works closely with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service and meets regularly to review outstanding unresolved murders from across the country. Working collaboratively, the potential for new investigative opportunities is regularly assessed to maximise the ability to deliver justice for grieving families, irrespective of the passage of time.

“As with any unresolved murder case, we would review any new information provided to police and investigate further if appropriate.”
