At London Fashion Week, there’s never a shortage of drama in the beauty department. As this season unfolded across the pond, tactful bursts of color—see the pastel-accented cat-eyes coordinated to the floral-print confections at Richard Quinn, or the hyper-real neon eye encasings worn with upcycled denim and baby doll dresses at Matty Bovan—offered just the right amount of pop on the eyes.

Unsurprisingly, there were embellishments aplenty, with touches of sparkle and shine running the gamut from the mosaic foil lids at both Erdem and Simone Rocha, to the crystal drop charms woven into towering braided hair sculptures at Ashish. Oh, and those crystal starburst decals affixed on the eyes by Isamaya Ffrench at Halpern were in a league all of their own.

A set of reliably fresh faces at Burberry and Victoria Beckham rounded out the parade of vibrant and free-spirited beauty statements. Here, London Fashion Week's biggest hair and makeup trends, some of which may be destined to make the leap from runway to real world.

Embellishment Has No Limits

For proof, look no further than the crystalized gazes at Halpern. Makeup artist and prosthetic enthusiast Isamaya Ffrench reimagined an emerald-encrusted eye look designed by artist Giorgio di Sant’Angelo and photographed by Gianni Penati for Vogue in 1968. Instant impact also came by way of Erdem and Simone Rocha, with fragments of foil pressed into the lids at each showing; the former embraced a frosty silver, while the latter offered up a rich ruby red iteration. Finishing out the spectrum of looks were the floral pressings at Central Saint Martins and recycled sequins at Paula Knorr.

Pops of Color Get a Collective Endorsement

A fresh wave of colorful eyes hooked showgoers throughout the week. Inspired by the collection’s swirls of floral prints, French added jolts of blue, green, yellow, and white along the waterlines to up the wattage on a classic cat eye at Richard Quinn. Treading beyond lid territory, Rixo draped fuchsia blush along the eyes and upper cheeks, while Charlotte Knowles and Matty Bovan presented dimensional, punkish etchings that were not for the faint of heart.

Hair Ornaments Do All the Work

A jewel-encrusted headband at Simone Rocha may not be all that surprising, but it doesn’t make it any less spellbinding—especially thrown on top of Pre-Raphaelite waves. If not a decadent bauble, accessories came in the form of an extra-long strand of velvet ribbon woven into a disheveled knot as seen at Richard Quinn, and a shock of violet-blue strands via Ashley Williams's latest must-have accessory: A vivid crystal clip-in hair piece. No matter your accoutrement of choice, it’s the easiest way to get maximum results with minimal effort.

A Raw Face Is a "Cooler" Face

“Doing makeup on a completely bare face is way cooler than a heavily made one,” insisted makeup artist Miranda Joyce backstage at Matty Bovan. And whether raw with a bold eye or lip, or barely anything at all, as seen at Burberry and Tommy Hilfiger, the effect is the same. But if you want to take it a step further, try a set of alienesque bleached brows, the cancelled-out effect creating an especially celestial glow on model Leyla Greiss at Emilia Wickstead.

Sculptural Hair Gets Sleek and Inventive

Hair sculptings were both close-cropped and ceiling-bound this season. At Erdem and Emilia Wickstead alike, glossy S-waves were swept to one side and pinned back, while Preen presented poker-straight center parts with strands swept back to highlight flashes of gold foiled ears. Inspired by the 1969 film Sweet Charity, Sam McKnight took thick plaits to new heights at Ashish, molding them into winding sculptures and threading them with decadent crystal drop charms.
