The grooming trends that defined London Fashion Week A/W 2014
The grooming trends that defined London Fashion Week A/W 2014
Giles: The beautiful punks at Giles were 'gorgeous, but still street' thanks to make-up artist Lucia Pieroni. More Debbie Harry than Siouxsie Sioux, electric blue lower lids popped against otherwise fresh skin, while whispy hair was sprayed flat on top

Erdem: Val Garland presented 'a fresh take on the rock 'n' roll look' at Erdem, featuring subtle kohl on the inside of the eye and youthful-looking skin, keeping the feel 'fresh and a little odd'. Untamed tendrils of wind-tossed hair finished the organic look
Burberry Prorsum: Softly tousled curls gave a rough-and-tumble aura to the girls at Burberry Prorsum, while porphyry pink eyes and lips ensured the allure of the English Rose prevailed
1205: Exaggerated winged-eyes were updated as razor-edged, geometric flicks at 1205, their sharpness complemented by silky straight hair with a schoolroom centre-parting
Christopher Kane: Lucia Pieroni created tomboys with a twist at Christopher Kane. Combining dishevelled hair with barely-there kohl, the resulting vibe was youthfully wild and mischievous
Hunter: Rosy lips, gently flushed cheeks and clear eyes made the models at Hunter look right as rain. In fact, their damp hair, simply scraped back, left the girls looking as though they'd just come back from a stroll in a crisp spring shower
Jonathan Saunders: Virtually bare faces were framed by wet 1920s up-dos at Jonathan Saunders. The glossy locks contrasted Lucia Pieroni's smudged pink eyes that left Saunders' girls looking a little rougher round the edges
JW Anderson: Things were kept simple at JW Anderson. Softly honeyed skin glowed against naked lips and bold brows, letting the designer's conceptual collection do the talking
Mary Katrantzou: Val Garland transported us to 'Blushtopia' at Mary Katrantzou, where youthful, fresh-faced girls were in abundance. Perfectly pink lips and silvery eyes left the models looking bright-eyed and vivacious. The make-up was matched by thick and full hair that casually fell in loose waves about the girls' shoulders
Richard Nicoll: Casual elegance was the look at Richard Nicoll. Hair was tied in low, slack knots, with loose strands escaping gracefully, while skin was left bare, except for a faint peachy blush
Margaret Howell: The pared-down feminine aesthetic of the models' make-up at Margaret Howell perfectly complemented the androgyny of the collection. Bare eyes and subtly sculpted brows were set against delicately blushing cheeks, while unfussy side partings and plaits conveyed a nonchalant air
Paul Smith: Petros Petrohilos channelled 'worn-in glamour, 1970s groupies, and Biba' at Paul Smith with unpretentious ponytails and laid-back styling. The eye make-up was minimal, allowing for the girls' wide gazes to shine unhindered
Tom Ford: Smudged black eyes on otherwise perfectly pale faces gave Tom Ford's show a smouldering glamour, while shiny, velvet-smooth hair finished his after-dark musing
Vivienne Westwood Red Label: Glam 1950s chignons and Hollywood starlet curls were impeccably matched with Val Garland's infinity lashes and a 'mucky lip' - think Marilyn Monroe after 'she's had a few drinks' - at Vivienne Westwood Red label
Topshop Unique: Smoky eyes evoked a sense of rebellion at Topshop Unique. Sooty smudges were restricted to the lower lids, the effect cleverly juxtaposed with lustrous, girlish tresses and dewy complexions
