The grooming trends that defined Paris Fashion Week A/W 2014

Isabel Marant: With faces left au naturel, the Isabel Marant girls glowed as Sam McKnight's beach-fresh tresses lent an air of nonchalant glamour

Maison Martin Margiela: Peter Philips created a harmony of opposites, artfully balancing the masculine with the super-feminine for Maison Martin Margiela - mirroring the collection. Modestly minimal make-up, mature and unfussy hair (by Guido Palau) and brushed brows - often creating an androgynous look - were tempered with faintly blushing lips and sparkling eyes

Christian Dior: Pat McGrath was on hand to turn models into glam-rock goddesses at Dior with glitzy metallic eyes and Ziggy Stardust cheekbones, perfectly matched to the girls' sculptural, swept-back hair

Roland Mouret: Giving the models' full lips, slender brows and hair as poker-straight as Pocahontas', Val Garland created the 'native American girl in the Roland Mouret style' - that being stylish, timeless and feminine. Strong, black eye make-up kept the look on the right side of safe

Haider Ackermann: Yadim created a 'blue print of a deconstructed society woman' at Haider Ackermann. Hair was kept in 1950s turbans, as though straight from a Billy Wilder movie, and slender strands of elastic were glued in graphic arches onto brows, creating a mob of modern-day Marlene Dietrichs

Acne Studios: Aaron de Mey highlighted unearthly pale skin with lip gloss at Acne, giving the girls a hi-shine appearance, straight out of hyperspace. Lips, meanwhile, were emphatically matte. Combined with Anthony Turner's wet-look hair, it made the models look extraterrestrial, perfectly in keeping with some of the collection's more futuristic pieces

Chloé: The Chloé girl was natural and wild looking this season, with wide eyes and flowing hair. Eyelids the colour of lilacs, dewy skin and flowing Botticelli-inspired locks signalled the arrival of a fresh, bright and modern antidote to the colder months

Kenzo: The look at Kenzo was '1950s with a slight punk edge'. The edge in question came courtesy of Aaron de Mey, who electrified vintage flicks with Klein blue liner. Skin was otherwise left demurely bare

Givenchy: Pat McGrath at Givenchy reminded us that statement brows aren't going anywhere. Brushed-up, bushy and bleached, they were central to a futuristic Snow Queen look, amplified by strong, highlighted cheekbones in glimmering fawn and fierce bronze

Akris: Diane Kendal and Guido Palau kept things light and crisp at Akris, with drenched hair scraped back off the face and hardly a scrap of make-up on the models' lightly honeyed skin. Bleached brows and flash-bulb highlights kept things up to date

Giambattista Valli: The designer enlisted Val Garland to create this season's 'handsome heroes'. Massaging moisturiser rather than make-up onto the models' faces, Garland gave their skin a subtle, pearly sheen, suggestive of the 'beauty and simplicity of really perfect-looking natural skin'

Sacai: The heavy layers and rich palette of Sacai's collection were contrasted by barely-there make-up and loose faux-bobs, fashioned by tucking the models' glossy hair into their collars. The resulting look was low-maintenance and effortlessly cool

Stella McCartney: Pat McGrath's girls at Stella McCartney were the picture of easy-going, carefree youth, with quiet smudges of caramel sitting above untouched lashes and just a slight semblance of a blooming blush on the cheeks. Otherwise, lightly golden skin was left nude, suggesting fading memories of the summer's sun

Alexander McQueen: Using rich metallics to contour otherwise ethereally pale skin, Pat McGrath transformed the models at Alexander McQueen into otherworldly warrior women. Hair was tightly woven into cornrowed skullcaps, leaving elfin ears revealed, creating an entrancing breed of mystical creatures

Moncler Gamme Rouge: With heavy fur hats and collars rising high, negligible skin was on show at Moncler Gamme Rouge. Consequently, Val Garland needed to keep things simple. These pristine beauties had nothing but a touch of barely-there eye shadow and the faintest gloss on pale pink lips, becoming the archetypal 'urban kids…global, young and fresh'

Hermès: With their sweeping side-partings and delicately rosy lips, models at Hermès emanated a subtle, turn-of-the-century vibe, utterly compatible with the collection's stealth silhouettes and Silk Road prints
