What would First Look Fridays be without my Twestie, the one and only fabulous Gregory Arlt? He dished on all things M.A.C and beauty, from how he got his start in the industry to his top makeup tips.

Bright pink lips ruled the runways and the red carpet this year. Gossip Girl starlet Taylor Momsen sported the look best.

My fascination with Guerlain reached new heights this year. Between the two products featured in this story, my skin has never looked better -- and my vanity hasn't, either!

Face mists became my biggest obsession this year ... and at the top of my list was none other than M.A.C Fix+ Rose. It smells incredible, it feels amazing, and my skin has never looked fresher.
