Gucci: Pat McGrath dished out a lesson in the perfect smoky eye, which she enhanced with long curled eyelashes and a beautifully groomed, thick brow. For hair, Luigi Murenu pulled sleek locks into a tight centre-parted low chignon

Missoni: A fluorescent red lip took centre stage at Missoni - with luminous complexions and perfectly groomed brows completing the look by Lucia Pieroni. Eugene Souleiman tightly slicked hair down to the ears, leaving the lengths softly flowing and brushed into light waves

Bottega Veneta: 'Natural' was the grooming keyword at Bottega Veneta. Pat McGrath brightened pearlescent faces with a touch of gloss on the lips, while simple, wispy chignons by Guido Palau completed the look

Versace: Ever Goddess-like, the Versace models sported bright, rosy complexions and smoky eyes by Pat McGrath, and locks tamed into voluminous waves by Guido Palau

Fendi: With a show resembling a walking Memphis collection, it doesn't surprise that the grooming at Fendi followed the block-coloured design lead. Peter Phillips drew bold colours on the models' lower lid for an unexpectedly graphic twist, while Sam McKnight brushed back slightly damp locks in a high chignon with plenty of texture

Emporio Armani: Linda Cantello's bright faces were matched with Franco Gobbi's all-natural waves

Prada: These choppy 'fringes' had their roots in Guido Palau's reversed chignons, where hair tips were pulled to the front for effect. Pat McGrath worked on the lips to create an intense shade of bright red, outlined to perfection

Salvatore Ferragamo: A slightly androgynous look was seen at Ferragamo, with make up by Tom Pecheux reduced to a natural-looking minimum and Luigi Murenu creating a sleek side parting for hair

Giorgio Armani: Sophistication was key. Under the direction of Linda Cantello, eyes sported a luxurious shade of gray. Franco Gobbi created old-fashioned hairdos by fastening a curl of hair on the side of the head to accommodate the collection's tiny hats

Trussardi: Models were given short fringes for a touch of youthfulness, while perfectly shaded eyes created a strong look of attitude

Jil Sander: The otherworldly beauties at Jil Sander sported low, distressed ponytails by Guido Palau and pale, dewy complexions created by Pat McGrath

Marni: The Marni girl was given rosy cheeks and a hint of dark pink gloss on the lips by Tom Pecheux, while Paul Hanlon's chignons created a dynamic, wispy frame for her face

Port 1961: A sublime colour palette by Tom Pecheux, featuring a golden orb of shadow on the eye and deep burgundy on lips. Luigi Murenu revisited the simple, low ponytail, updated it with wisps of loose locks which fell around the face

Max Mara: Tom Pecheux interpreted Max Mara's safari colours by pairing pale foundation and lips with a brick-coloured shadow around the eyes. Luigi Murenu mined the same colour palette, wrapping fabric around over the girls' foreheads to hold knotted chignons in place

Pucci: Adding touches of translucent silver accents to eyes and the mouth, make-up artist Lisa Butler created a frosty look, while Luigi Murenu's hairdos were casual and simple

Sportmax: To complement the clean lines at Sportmax, Charlotte Tilbury created a pale foundation with touches of blush and gloss to brighten up faces. Paul Hanlon parted hair on one side and pulled it back in a casual do
