Congratulations are in order for Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black – they're officially married!

The pair tied the knot yesterday afternoon in a "fairytale" ceremony in Bovey Castle, near Devon in the UK.

According to The Sun, the couple recreated scenes of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, with Tom stood on a balcony in front of their guests, professing his love to Dustin.

The publication says that Tom sang "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art though, Romeo?" before vowing to be with his long time love forever. 

Tom and Dustin met back in 2013, and the duo became engaged just over a year and a half ago.

We're delighted for them!

Festival makeup is a whole makeup genre of its own, as a music festival is the perfect place to go wild and experiment with your beauty look.

Every festival season, there are always a few key makeup trends that do the rounds, and we've spotted one already. 

Last year, faux freckles were the look du jour, but now a faux lip piercing is the way to go.

 

A post shared by STEPHANIE LEDDA (@smlx0) on

The makeup look is easily created, and we're kind of feeling the edgy looking trend.

Lip piercings were looking like they were going to be the biggest piecing trend of 2017, after Kim Kardashian was spotted rocking a fake metal ring earlier this year.

However, an actual lip piercing isn't always the most work-friendly, so we're loving this no commitment version of the trend. 

The look is pretty easy to achieve. all you need to do is apply a metallic liner in a straight vertical line in the middle of your bottom lip.

A dab of translucent powder over the top once dry should help the look remain for a few hours, however if you're eating and drinking, the faux lip ring will definitely need some maintenance.

Prepare to see this look everywhere once Longitude and Electric Picnic roll around.

Thursday night saw Ireland's biggest, brightest and best influencers take to the red carpet at the Mansion House in Dublin for the inaugural SHEmazing! Awards.

The style stakes were high, but mega-blogger and makeup artist Lisa Jordan took home the award for Best Dressed attendee on the night.

There was some fierce competition, but ultimately the SHEmazing! team, along with James Kavanagh who was announcing the winner, thought that the Just Jordan founder's look was drop dead gorgeous. 

 

A post shared by Lisa Jordan (@justjordan.ie) on

With 82,000 followers on Instagram, the fashion guru shared her amazing look with her fans, who completely loved it, and we agreed. 

Donning an elegant but eclectic dress by Camino Couture, the mum-of-one looked stylish and striking in her stand-out ensemble.

The blogger added a perfectly coordinating pair of gold strappy high heels and a gold handbag to the look, completing the sartorially sound ensemble. 

 

A post shared by Lisa Jordan (@justjordan.ie) on

'I was sent this beautiful dress from Camino Couture in the UK, they're a new enough brand but I absolutely adore it, I think it's a bit bright but with the weather and everything it will go down fine,' said the blogger as she took to the red carpet at he SHEmazing! Awards.

The professional makeup artist accentuated her features with a bright red lip, long lashes and a tussled high ponytail.

Congratulations on your win, Lisa!

There are always more than a few Instagram makeup trends doing the rounds online, but the latest one really takes the p***.

Teenage MUA Jake Warden has gained over 1.1million views on one particular makeup tutorial.

While the look he creates is pretty flawless, it's the use of his iPhone as a mixing palette for foundation that has people going crazy for the MUAs videos.

 

A post shared by Jake Warden (@jakewarden) on

We'd barely toss our phones in our bags without a cover, never mind pour foundation all over them, so this beauty tutorial trend is pretty baffling to us. 

In two separate tutorials, he squirts foundation onto the back of his rose gold iPhone, which doesn't have a case on it, and mixes highlighter into it using the iPhone rather than the back of his hand to mix the products together. 

We thought this might just be a random, teenage makeup trend that would pass by without notice, but now other MUAs are following suit. 

 

A post shared by Kiki ♥️ (@spottedstyleblog) on

We shudder to think about the amount of germs that reside on the backs of our phones, so we seriously hope these MUAs are using a sterilisation wipe before dropping foundation oin their pricey smartphones. 

Kids these days…

Very soon-to-be parents Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor are definitely ready to welcome their new arrival. 

We're sure the usual checklist of baby essentials has been ticked off, but we've just noticed that one piece of unusual prep has been taken care of.

The undoubtedly famous baby already has his very own Instagram account. 

A verified account for Conor McGregor Jr. has popped up on the social media app, which claims to be run my Dee and Conor, according to the bio.

The account follows only McGregor and Devlin, and is followed by the likes of Conor's manager and management company. 

However, Conor and Dee's verified accounts do not follow the Conor McGregor Jr page. 

Unconfirmed reports claim that the baby was born on Friday, but this has yet to be confirmed by either Conor or Dee's camps. 

The couple have also been vet quiet on their usually active Instagrams, with neither of them posting in the last 6 days.
