LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Topshop Unique
lfw beauty sophie
We heart Topshop\'s fun, quirky dalmation look! Hair Stylist Paul Hanlon gave the girls Mickey Mouse ears, creating two ponies looping the hair round on itself and tying each bun with velvet ribbon. Make up artist Hannah Marshall gave the girls bold black eyes - look out for the new Topshop kohl pencil she used launching in Autumn. She bleached the model\'s eyebrows (all 44 of them!) and gave a few of them a cute black nose inkeeping with the dalmation theme.

Manicurist Sophy Robson (who does the coolest nails and has featured in COMPANY) gave the girls dalmatian print nails, painting them in a strong matte white and adding black dots and a top coat - much easier than it looks so give it a try!
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Acne
lfw aw11 beauty
Acne was all about boyish brows and Paul Hanlon was aiming for super-easy effortless hair pulled from the face and tied into a light ponytail, split in two and tied into a shoelace knot, pulled out just before the show so that each girl looked slightly different.

Lucia Pica created boyish straight bushy brows with glowing skin using MAC vanilla pigment on cheekbones for the \'no make up\' look.

Nick Irwin created a modern 40\'s vibe using heated rollers and TIGI firm hold volume hairspray, parting hair low on the side and finished with TIGI Session Series wax on roots for a contemporary twist. Georgina Graham split the girls into 3 groups and gave them pink, orange or red lashes!
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Betty Jackson

The inspiration behind the look was pre-pubescent angsty teens - think Violet from the Incredibles - hiding behind a long fringe. Label.M volume mousse and sea salt spray was blown in using a diffuser for lift. Girls were given \'nicotine stained\' eyes in taupes and browns using a wash of MAC Malaysia eyeshadow squarely down from inner corner of the eye.

8am saturday morning - freezing models gather round the small heater trying to keep warm. Stylist Lyndell gave them all half hour head massages before starting on the hair, which was all about strange textures with a frizzy, ungroomed quality.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Charles Anastase
lfw aw11 beauty
Make up at Charles Anastase was very earthy, using browns and khakis around the eyes and sheer orange pressed onto the lips with no mascara and no blusher - the emphasis is on the eyes!
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: David Koma
lfw aw11 beauty
Inspired by the techno-chic collection, MAC\'s Mel Arter didn\'t want to do the typical winter \'smokey eye\', instead opting for a triangle of indigo pencil under the eye to give a hard-edged coolness that was complimented by a baby pink lip using MAC lip pencil in girlfriend.

Shay Dempsey used Sebastian Zero Gravity hairspray and Shine Define to give a smooth sheen-y finish to these super-low ponies at a uniform length of 20cm. Taking inspiration from the collection, he wrapped woollen hairbands around the head and finished with a leather wrap.

Representing the two sister\'s personalities, Nick Irwin created two ponytails (leaving the ends tucked in) one at the nape of the neck and one slightly higher with small braids leading into the pony.

The girls were given a modern take on punk using MAC ebony eye pencil on the lips and blue and black pigments pushed over the top, finished with winged eyeliner.

Beauty Assistant Sam took a sneaky peek at the not yet launched MAC lip quad - the orange shade \'Front Row\' was used at several shows and is THE shade for next season... you heard it here first!
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Jaeger London
lfw aw11 beauty
Legendary hairstylist Sam McKnight pulled hair back into a sharp, sporty pony after blowdrying Pantene volume mousse in and then pulled the crown slightly for a dishevelled feel. 90% of the models have coloured hair which can get very damaged throughout LFW so Sam spritzed Pantente Colour Protect Instant Nourishing Shine Spray on the girl\'s hair to recondition.

Clean, polished dewy skin was achieved by using MAC Face and Body mixing Medium all over the face. Eyes were given a wash of Sandstone eyeshadow up to the brows and under the lash line while Front Row lip colour was tapped into the lips.

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama was the inspiration for this multi-coloured polka dot make-up, using pretty much every colour of MAC Chromographic colour pencils going!

Knackered models were given a holiday glow using Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation, blush in Coral Rose and matte bronzer finished with Nude Delight lipstick with a touch of Hide The Blemish concealer over the top for a honeyed finish.

Futuristic Hollywood chic was created by Charlotte Tilbury and her team using MAC Air Force Blue eyeshadow on the lids with a slick of gloss over the top. Charlotte blended Ruby Woo with a brown lipstick for a matte lip which gave a modern feel.

Stylists mixed a salt water using two teaspoons of salt and blowdried it into hair to ensure it stayed in place once plaited. Strong centre partings left it symmetrical and clean looking with L\'Oreal Techni Art High Shine Cream smoothed into the roots for a modern finish.

Ruby Red Dorothy-esque lips were created using Benefit lipstick in Frenched then patting red glitter over the top. Nails matched the lips with Mavala Roccoco red painted with a coat of Red Diamonds glitter over the top.

Each girl was painted with a neon yellow band on her right arm - everyone was pitching in to help get the girls painted in time, even the PRs!

Shu Uemera Face Architects Illuminating Moisture Foundation gave a glowy tint to the skin. M Brown Painting Liner was drawn along the upper lash line for a smudgy feel. New for Autumn/Winter shimmer liners were painted under the lower lash line to give a wet look to the eye.

Gucci Westman created a vivid red lip using two matte Revlon lipsticks, Strawberry Suede and Really Red, topped off with Just Bitten lipstain for a juicy, vibrant, stay-in-place finish. Violet eyes were created by blending two eyeshadows together with lashings of mascara to finish.

Inspired by Royals, nostalgia and the aristocracy, Malcolm Edwards created different shaped hair on each girl using L\'Oreal Professionel Texture Tonic and Volume Lift powerdried into the hair, topped with fun, playful hair crowns.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Antonio Beradi
lfw beauty sophie
Make up for Beradi was young and super fresh - with stained red lips - using MAC \'Runway Red\' out next winter - and dewy glowing skin.\r\n
\r\nHair was \'socialite chic\' - swept back into a pony with a low side parting and looped round on itself.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Christopher Kane
lfw beauty sophie
Liquid was the inspiration for Christopher Kane (plastic dresses were filled with coloured liquids) so the hair continued this theme with a centre parting and a slick wet-look texture. It was tied low in a tight ponytail with comb marks at the front to break it up.

Products used on the hair by stylist Paul Hanlon included TIGI Fast Fix Prep spray to give hair plenty of shine and hold.
\r\nMake up artist Lucia used Chantecaille products to create a soft elegant look...
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Christopher Kane

She used Chantecaille eyeshadow in Meteorite (a deep grey with a bit of pearl) to create a soft smokey eye and kept lips a pinky nude colour with \'Bloom\' lipstick. Skin was kept dewy and natural with Future Skin foundation and a cool tone bronzer called St Barts - launching in May 2011.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Clements Ribeiro

Make up artist Terry Barber wanted the make up to look natural but weathered for the show - it had a slightly windswept feel with a walnut brown shadow on the eyes (Terry called it \'baby poo brown\'!) and peachy beige lips. He wanted the girls to look a bit ragged and tired (that\'s a look we\'re rocking in the COMPANY offices right now, but we\'re not sure it\'s intentional!)
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Clements Ribeiro

Hair stylist Sam McKnight did the hair for the show using Pantene products. The clothes had a slightly victorian vibe which he wanted to echo but not too literally. Hair was designed to look like it had been styled into a chignon then become dishevelled and undone.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Clements Ribeiro
lfw beauty sophie
Hair was slicked into a slightly wet side parting to look like Victorian children. It was tied up with elastic at the nape of the neck and then looped back on itself and pinned with a single grip. The hair above the pony was fanned out to give volume at the back of the head. It was designed to look easy and not too contrived.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Erdem
lfw beauty sophie
The inspiration for Erdem was an artist\'s wife after somethings gone wrong (a big bust up/maybe she\'s left him!!) so it was a bit darker than previous seasons...
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Erdem

Make Up Artist Andrew Gallimore gave the girls really strong eyes - black with a hint of dark blue. He took the colour all around the eyes and kept it quite soft and messy (like she\'s had it on for three days). He used kohl pencil in the waterline of the eyes and kept lips muted - and cheeks blush free.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Erdem
lfw beauty sophie
For the eyes, he used a mix of MAC Fluidliner in Blacktrack and Waveline (a deep navy blue) instead of eyeshadows and then lined eyes with MAC kohl pencil in Feline. On lips he used MAC Lady Gaga Viva Glam II and he highlighted cheeks with MAC Strobe Cream.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Erdem
lfw beauty sophie
Marc Trinder for Charles Worthington created the \'tousled tail\' for the Erdem show - a fishtail plait which was pulled out at the sides to look messy and imperfect (like she\'d slept overnight in it). The plaits worked well with the collection as many of the dresses had deep plunging backs.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Giles
lfw beauty sophie
Make up Artist Lucia Peroni gave the girls a really full forties-style red lip using MAC red lip pencil and Ruby Woo lipstick. She used clear lip gloss on the eyelids and the top of cheekbones, and piled on plenty of black mascara on top and bottom lashes. Nails matched the lips with matte red falsies. Team COMPANY are big fans of this look (minus the tissue on the head!)
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Giles
lfw beauty sophie
Hair at Giles was meant to make the girls look sophisticated, expensive and a little intimidating. Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck, Global Creative Director for Toni & Guy did really tight, nipped in buns, adding label.m shine spray to smooth away flyaways and keep the whole look sleek. Don\'t worry, the tissues were removed before the girls hit the runway!
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: House of Holland
lfw beauty sophie
Make up artist Lucia Pica wanted to give the models a modern edge to contrast with Henry\'s \'granny and tweed\' collection. Skin was luminous, creamy and polished so that all emphasis was on the lips - classic red with an extra pop of pink (MAC Cherry lip pencil and Ruby Woo lipstick) - we\'ve seen loads of red lips this season so hang onto your red lippie!

Hair stylist Adam Reed gave the girls easy, dishevelled ponies (another major trend for AW11). Before doing the pony, he gave hair a bit of a bend with a Babyliss Curling Wand. It was meant to look simple and not too \'done\' - that\'s a look that we can get behind! Nails were a funked up French manicure with three versions - patent navy, neon orange or tiger stripe tips.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Issa
lfw beauty sophie
Seventies hair was still big news at Issa - hair stylist Malcolm Edwards described the girls as \'70\'s sloanes\' and gave them fabulous frizzy ponytails. We know Kate Middleton favours Issa but we can\'t see her rocking this hair on her wedding day - although we\'d love it if she did!
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Issa
lfw beauty sophie
Make up artist Charlotte Tilbury continued the \'70\'s sloane\' theme with a luxe palette of cashmere beige, toffee and gold. She highlighted cheekbones and used dark bronze eyeshadow all round the eye with a bit of gold on the top lid.

Charlotte Tilbury used a beigey-brown lipstick with a caramel gloss on top. All the products were by Brazilian brand Eudora - we\'re heard they\'re huge in South America so look out for them hitting the UK soon!
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Jonathan Saunders
lfw beauty sophie
Make up artist Lucia Peroni created a 1930\'s doe-eyed greasy eye, using MAC Groundwork Paint and tons of mascara. She added MAC Lipglass on top of the lids for lots of shine and used concealer on the lips to take down the model\'s natural lip colour, before adding Myth lipstick.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Jonathan Saunders
lfw beauty sophie
Hair stylist Paul Hanlon did another pony for Jonathan Saunders - this time sleek, clean and architectural. He used Fekkai Advanced Full Volume Styling Whip before blow drying hair smooth and straightening it with irons. Hair was tied in a low pony and accessorised with a wide leather headband. Modern and minimal - we like!
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Mulberry
lfw beauty sophie
The COMPANY beauty team loved the Mulberry look as the girls all looked so pretty and healthy (a nice change from all the darker gothic looks!)
\r\nHair stylist Sam McKnight gave the girls the kind of hair we all want: thick, healthy and with just a bit of a wave. They were meant to look like rich English schoolgirls post-party - a bit dishevelled but still with dream hair! He tonged random sections all over using different size tongs to create the illusion of a natural wave (nothing natural about it though - they used extensions, thickening mousse and plenty of hairspray!)
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Mulberry

Make up artist Mathias Van Hooff wanted the girls to look fresh and outdoorsy but a little dishevelled so he used MAC Strobe Cream on the eyes, cheeks and bridge of the nose and a sheer coat of MAC Full Coverage foundation. He then used a new Sculpting Cream in a peachy colour (used at loads of AW11 shows and out later this year) on the cheeks and added Lilicent cream blusher on top for a healthy flush. MAC\'s Hue Lipstick was used with a dab of lipbalm to create soft pinky lips.
LFW A/W 11 Beauty: Richard Nicoll
lfw beauty sophie
Hair at Richard Nicoll was again very modern and minimal - hair stylist Luke Hersheson oiled and gelled the top of the models heads so that the hair hugged the head and back of the neck. Ends of the hair were left dry and glossy and they used balloons to create static on the ends and make the hair move (might get some funny looks from your boyfriend if you try this at home!). The make up was all about gorgeous skin. Make up artist Sam Bryant used MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation to make skin flawless and shaded the cheeks with cream blush, adding highlighter to catch the light. No mascara and no lipstick - very young, fresh and clean.
