Anna Sui

\"The shimmery gold eye make-up at Anna Sui was absolutely gorgeous - pretty rather than blinging. This is definitely a look I’ll be working (with a good dose of bronzer) next season.\"

Marc by Marc Jacobs

\"Frizzy bunches and orange lipstick might sound like a hideous combination, but it worked perfectly at the Marc by Marc Jacobs show, complementing the young, fresh aesthetic of the collection.\"

Carolina Herrera

\"The burnt orange smoky eyes at Carolina Herrera will look great on most complexions – exotic and sophisticated, this is a great way to update your make-up look for the new season.\"

Diane von Furstenberg

\"I absolutely loved the hot pink lips at Diane von Furstenberg. By keeping the lipstick matt and the rest of the face neutral, the whole effect is really modern. I might even be persuaded to forgo my usual mascara and eye liner to try this one out.’\"

Oscar de la Renta

\"How Audrey Hepburn was the hair at Oscar de la Renta? The whole thing could have been a bit of a cliché, but the flash of green eye liner gave the look a modern twist.\"

Thakoon

\"‘As someone with blotchy pale skin, I’m obsessed with the bronzed, ethereal glow of the girls at Thakoon. Not so easy to recreate in an office in rainy autumnal London, but I’m going to give it a go.\"

Marc Jacobs

\"In my eyes, the miraculous Marc Jacobs can do no wrong (this is his third name check in my New York round-up) and the hair and make-up in his spring show didn’t fail to disappoint.

\r\n

\"I particularly loved the ’30s-style curly up ‘do. It’s a little bit Chicago, which is no bad thing in my book.\"

Alexander Wang

‘The trend for celebrities dying their hair grey a few months ago didn’t really catch on, but that didn’t stop Alexander Wang sticking some Tipp-Ex on his model\'s heads before shoving them onto the catwalk at his latest show.

\r\n

Being models they can just about get away with it – I’m not sure the rest of us will be able to though.’
