The most spectacular makeup looks from Fashion Week

Spectacular makeup goes hand in hand with haute couture. We've picked out the most amazing looks from the fashion week runways.

Spectacular makeup is meant to be inspirational and evocative. Much like the haute couture designs that it often accompanies on the runways, artistry is the key element. We've seen some truly amazing creations on the runways over the years. They might not be wearable for us mere morals. But these incredible looks are certainly inspiring.

Here are some of our favourite spectacular makeup looks from Fashion Week.

Maison Valentino

Nothing says spectacular quite like this jewelled look created by makeup artist Pat McGrath.

Charles Jeffrey

This is just one example of the artistic creations that makeup artist Lucy Bridge has designed for designer Charles Jeffrey over the years.

Galliano

A fantasy take on the 1920s style made this a standout makeup for the Galliano show back in 2007.

Giambattista Valli

All that glitters... we're officially obsessed with this amazing, sparkling look by Val Garland.

Maison Valentino Couture

Another spectacular makeup creation for Maison Valentino. This elegant, feathered lash look designed by makeup artist Pat McGrath stole the show at the Maison Valentino Couture show in January this year.
