At Versace, dark smoky eyes were set against radiant skin and undone hair. Donatella Versace wanted to emphase each model's individuality, so it was about enhancing natural beauty rather than a uniformed look ; Photo: Getty

Elegant is the word that perfectly sums up the hair and make-up at Ralph & Russo for Spring 2016. Each model was given a feminine flick of liner and a delicate pink lip, while hair was fastened into a chignon ; Photo: Getty

Clean, dewy, hydrated skin was the order of the day at Giambattista Valli. Each model's skin was treated to a quick massage and slathered in serum and moisturiser for a natural glow, before the make-up artist Val Garland applied foundation. The hair was neatly tied back in a low ponytail and accessorised with a hairband ; Photo: Getty

However, Peter Philips, Dior's creative director for make-up, mixed it up by giving a few of the models a striking red lip. Philips took inspiration from Christian Dior's tradition of sending a model in a red dress down the catwalk halfway through the show to brighten it up ; Photo: Getty

The hair stylist Sam McKnight referred to the wide, twisted updos that adorned every model as 'Chanel crossiants'. The make-up was equally as bold with graphic, black lines to frame the eyes ; Photo: Rex Features

The hair and make-up at Elie Saab was easily the most ethereally beautiful look of the week. While cheeks were lightly bronzed and contoured, the jewelled accessories stole the show as far as the hair was concerned ; Photo: Imaxtree

The vibe at Jean Paul Gaultier was distinctly Eighties. Every model had a full look with a striking red lip, bold blusher, full brows, kohl-lined eyes and lashings of mascara, while the hair styles ranged from punky mullets to voluminous afros ; Photo: Getty
