More eye make-up inspiration from the shows comes courtesy of Manish Arora at Paris Fashion Week. MAC artists created a grown-up twist on girlish glitter by using chunkier pieces of iridescent foil, which were sparingly applied over fawn-coloured rectangles. We love the pink lips too.

While thoroughly removing make-up before bed is a key step to achieving great-looking skin, we've noticed recently that make-up artists have actually started taking inspiration from that 'oops, I've slept in my eye make-up' look. (Pictured, clockwise from top left) At Rodarte, James Kaliardos for NARS recreated a messy mascara look using deep brown eyeshadow; Peter Philips at Chanel Couture used false lashes and black mesh to create a smeared, smudgy effect as if the models had been crying; Lucia Pica glued a smattering of fuchsia and pink MAC glitters on the inner corners of the eye to appear as though left over from the night before; and at Louise Gray, James Vogel loaded on black make-up and false lashes for a sexy all-nighter vibe.

Like the Stylist team experimenting with bold make-up hues (see what happened here), as spring approaches, why not let neon and pastel colours go to your head? Take hair inspiration from insouciant model Charlotte Free, whose candy floss pink and baby blue hair (roots 'n' all) was styled into an easy knotted up-do by Bleach London for Eleven Paris' SS13 campaign.

She may have the talent, but Anne Hathaway made sure she also had Lady Luck on her side ahead of her Oscars win: the superstitious star had her manicurist, Tom Bachik, write her grandmother's initials in silver nail pen on each of her ring fingers for luck. The rest of her nude nails were coated with L’Oréal Paris’ The Palace of Life polish, taken from its forthcoming limited-edition Versailles Romance Colour Riche collection, due out next month.

MAC make-up artist Val Garland doubled the impact of her "bad ass Art Deco eye" (her words) at Monique Lhuillier, by leaving a strategic gap on the mid-lower lashline. Sometimes it's not what you add in but what you take away that counts.

Recreate the manicure by placing splodges of each shade on the nail, and leaving to dry between layers. Finish with a super-glossy top coat.

From Altuzarra to Jeremy Scott, and here at Badgley Mischka (pictured), we've noticed a trend for a doubling-up of contrasting eye colours at the shows. Tom Pecheux was inspired by 'Hitchcock on the red carpet in technicolour' for this Badgley Mischka look, winging out MAC Glamour Daze Kohl Power Eye Pencil on the upper lash line and adding a pop of baby blue - MAC Paint Pot in Clearwater - on the lower. "It's not meant to match," Pecheux explained. "It's about fitting a character."

Instead, NARS is giving us a fresh, vibrant take on the current 90s trend with its colourful new spring 2013 collection. Featuring a vivid cyan and parakeet green eyeshadow combo called Mad Mad World, and a sexy, sangria-hued blush entitled Seduction, we're most excited about trying the pink (yes, pink!) eyeshadow duo Bouthan, as modelled by Stella Tennant.

We love Revlon make-up artist Gucci Westman's refreshing take on the popular 60s Mod look, which she created for the Lisa Perry's autumn/winter 2013 New York Fashion Week show: “To make it a bit more contemporary and modern I opted for bright coloured liners in blues and purples, rather than black and added shadow on top for an extra pop. I kept the skin simple and natural and created subtle freckles on the nose with a nude pencil,” said Westman. Recreate the look using Revlon's Eyeshadow Quad in Free Spirit, out in March.

A unisex blend of black tea, vetiver, clove, vanilla, heliotrope and tobacco, the musky scent aims to evoke the feeling of sitting in an old library chair leafing through yellowing copies of Hemingway, Shakespeare, Fitzgerald and Poe.

Big bold brows are back in the spotlight, but, if you've seen how many campaigns Cara Delevingne has bagged at the moment, you'll know that's nothing new. What IS new though is Derry-based salon RoCo's kooky, coloured brow service. While pink, blue, purple or even green brows may seem a little out-there, RoCo aim to match their eco-friendly hues with your skin tone, eye colour and facial features, so maybe it wouldn't be so weird after all. Maybe.

Is this image the future of beauty? Perhaps. Designed by multimedia artist Soomi Park, these LED false eyelashes were created in response to thoughts about why women use falsies to make their eyes look bigger. Featuring a clever inclination sensor, the LED Eyelash flickers on and off with the wearer's eye movements. Well, its certainly one way to brighten up tired eyes.

Today's beauty inspiration comes from an unlikely source - horses. Or one particular horse to be exact: a dancing Thoroughbred named Lady in Black (pictured). Starring in OPI's new Instinct of Color video (watch it here), we see Lady in a fierce dance-off against four different dancers (first ballet, then tap, modern and street) with her OPI pedicure changing colour to match each dance sequence. Weird but amazing!
