This Week In Beauty: The Best & Worst From April 8-14, 2012 (PHOTOS)

We spend lots of time focusing on what stars wear, but what about what they put on their faces? Although makeup may not seem important, plenty of women won't leave home without it.

In a survey, two-thirds of British women said that heading to the office bare-faced caused them more stress than public speaking, going on a first date or enduring a job interview. 91 percent of women surveyed would rather cancel a first date altogether than go without makeup on. And in the U.S., women spend around $7 billion on cosmetics every year.

And that doesn't even include hair. The AP recently reported that in 1950, about seven percent of women dyed their hair. Today? 95 percent or more.

With all that beauty-obsession (and our own love of makeup) in mind, we're taking a look at This Week In Beauty. From this week forward, we'll be showcasing the best, worst and most interesting styles of hair, makeup and nails that we came across this week. Take a look, get inspired and vote for your faves!

I like Jessie J's bangs. They are a nice departure from the forever long parted on the side look we see on everyone all the time.

Blue liner, if done correctly will make the whites of the eye appear brighter and less red. It's a staple in my makeup bag for when allergy eyes strike. And people--stop lining the inside/eyelid rim. It's an infection and /or clogged year duct waiting to happen. It's posible to get a great smoky eye without that. Plus, it just makes your eyes appear smaller.
