London Fashion Week Spring 2012 Beauty Roundup: The Best and the Brightest

Julien Macdonald‘s girls with their painted hair and red lips

Best Updated Nineties: Dark berry lips? Check! Smudgy eyes? Check! No, it’s not 1993, and we know this because the eyes are metallic (uber-trendy) and the braid says, “It’s 2012″ at Ashish.

The Honorary Vivienne Westwood Award for Crazy Beauty Look

Blue Lips, London Version: They always show up, every season. Here are the offerings from Mary Katrantzou and Richard Nicoll.

Best English Roses: Alternatively, this category could be called, “Best Tolkien Elf Queen” (yes, we are geeky fans). Christopher Kane and Erdem won this hands down

Best Helena Bonham Carter: We fully expect to see HBC rocking the crimped hair seen at Louise Gray

The marcel waves, metallic orange eyes, and all-over bronziness at Mark Fast hammers home the message for spring: orange is in

 Mulberry did exaggerated volume with streaks of pale yellow and green.

Head-on, the models at Amanda Wakeley had hair slicked back in a headband
