The X Factor has certainly made its mark this year, and this weekend two of its most controversial contestants were given the boot. In another double eviction Katie Waissel was voted off first after receiving the fewest public votes and Wagner lost out to Mary Byrne in the sing off.

As always we were keeping our eye on the make-up and style and this weekend it was Katie Waissel who caught our eye. Having revealed a new look last weekend, Katie was going all bohemian this weekend with a floaty dusky pink dress and a smokey eyed make-up look.

Here in the Models Own offices we have a serious case of X Factor fever! We can’t wait to see what the contestants will sing, which judges will have a row and who will leave each week.

Another thing we’re loving this year is the X Factor style. Stylist supremo Grace Woodward has been bought in to style this year’s contestants, and we have to say, they’ve never looked better!

However, past series have also bought us some style icons. Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Diana Vickers (and JLS for the boys) have all emerged with their own sense of style, and we love it! Who gets your vote in the style stakes? Leave us a comment and let us know!

Leona Lewis - perhaps the most successful X Factor contestant!

Diana Vickers, came fourth in 2008, but still one of our favourite fashionistas.

It was all go on this weekend’s X Factor wasn’t it? Cheryl Cole refused to choose between her acts in the final vote, Matt Cardle stole the show with a standing ovation for his beautiful performance, Wagner had another, shall we say memorable performance and Treyc Cohen was the act that ended up going home!

As always we were keeping our eye on the contestants’ style and make-up and this week our vote goes to the oh-so-glamorous Rebecca Ferguson. Her classic style and make-up is that of old school Hollywood glamour, and we love it! See how you can get her look.

This weekend’s Halloween themed X Factor saw some great gothic looks from all the contestants - even the boys! (Yes you Aiden we noticed the gold eyeshadow!)

Our favourite look was from Cher Lloyd. Cher got some great feedback from the judges, with Simon commenting that she gave “the performance of the entire season”.

For a statement look like Cher’s go for Black Magic nail polish, apply Graphite Grey powder eyeshadow to eyelids and finish with Sheer Sparkle Lipstick.
