The beauty tips we learnt at Paris Fashion Week and can employ right now

The month of fashion shows is finally over and there are plenty of beauty tricks to take from the spring/summer 2018 catwalks and adopt right now. Back at the beginning of September, in New York it was all about glossy lids and experimental ponytails, while in London glitter reigned and Milan provided a straightforward yet effective hair trick. In Paris, where the month ended, there was a smattering of glitter and plenty of black eyeliner as the trends from all four cities came together. Here are the three that we're predicting will be huge come spring, and that you can channel right now... 

There is more than one way to accessorise your hair

At Rochas, hairstylist Anthony Turner twisted and tied fabric into loose, knotted buns, while hairstylist Sam McKnight encased low ponytails in perspex tubes at Chanel and Tomohiro Ohashi wrapped them in silk scarves at Lanvin.

And that’s before we even discuss the crystal lined partings at Dries van Noten. Whichever way you choose, it’s safe to say hair accessories aren’t going anywhere next season, so you might as well embrace the trend now.

The best hair looks from the spring/summer 2018 catwalks so far

Skin should look like skin

For most people that’s a very obvious statement, of course skin will look like skin. But so often on the catwalk it’s treated to lashings of highlighter to give it a surreal illumination, or layers of gloss to provide a sweaty, high-shine finish. Perhaps in retaliation to the hyper-real complexions seen across social media, for spring/summer 2018 make-up artists have declared that it’s about healthy, natural-looking skin - the kind we all want to wake up with.

If you’re not blessed with a healthy glow naturally, tinted moisturiser will be your best friend and was used backstage by make-up artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath at many of the shows. For those who want to even out skin tone and be left with a dewy finish, look to Bobbi Brown's classic Tinted Moisturizer, ￡29.50. If you prefer a fuller coverage, try IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+, ￡30. 

Brush up your brows

Brows have long since been championed for their ability to frame your face and enhance your bone structure. Unsurprisingly, strong brows were seen across the catwalks at Paris Fashion Week to compliment the nude skin trend. Natural-looking, fuller brows were brushed up at Altuzarra, Saint Laurent and TK to name just a few. 

Clear brow gel or a healthy helping of Vaseline and an old mascara wand will do the trick. If your brows need a little extra boost, invest in Benefit's Gimme Brow, ￡20.
