2011 Spring London Fashion Week

Sophy Robson has been the name to know for nails throughout all of the fashion weeks. She's been whipping up directional nails for everyone from Giles Deacon last Spring, to Topshop Unique and House of Holland this season. She has even extended her expertise to the masses taking up residence at London's Selfridges hosting a pop-up nail store from £20 and up.

I'm a fan of Sophy's, especially after meeting her a few of times backstage. She's worked with everyone in the biz from Kate Moss to Kylie Minogue doing Tom Ford, YSL and even Chanel ads, and has been churning out nail hits this week such as this awesome leather looking nail style (pictured left) at the 2011 Autumn Loewe fashion show.

Although Cat Deeley's publicist was rushing her backstage to greet designer Matthew Williamson after his 2011 Spring Runway Show, she had a few quick moments to spare for FabSugarUK and I to talk about the clothing, her fabulous bedhead hair, and her makeup look for the night. Even though our talk was rushed, she was very sweet and really pretty up close. Check out exactly what makeup she was (and wasn't wearing) below!

• Laura Mercier Secret Concealer
• No Foundation!
• Max Factor Lengthening Mascara for super long lashes
• Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
• Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss
• Pantene Root Lifter for beachy, unkempt hair

London Fashion Week has come to a close and after a full week of reflecting, I've finally gotten the chance to get some shut eye and dream about all of the amazing hair and makeup looks from the runways. You've seen a few of my favourite backstage beauty shots of models doing their thing, and here is a little roundup of the hairstyles that I have been able to break down. Check out these four fabulous looks below and be sure to click on the names of the shows to find out how you can re-create these styles at home!

In case you who hadn't noticed yet, the 1970s is turning in to a trend phenomenon for Spring! Not least in beauty. The New York runways were rammed with 1970s influences and it looks like the vibe continued in London. The catwalk atTopshop Unique looked like a tribute to high volume '70s glamour. (Check out this crazy backstage shot below. Cool, right?! I wouldn't want to try combing that one out!)

Next came Julien Macdonald's show, which worked a sultry Sharon Tate theme with winged eye makeup and Valley of the Dolls style hair. Then there was Twenty8Twelve, House of Holland and Basso & Brooke, all of which ran with a distinct '70s looks, with loose languid centre-parted waves and simple makeup. (Twenty8Twelve's was more of a Virgin Suicides feel. Meanwhile House of Holland went for full Boogie Nights pool party glamour.)

I am still catching up on telling you all about the glitz and the glamour that I spied over the course of London Fashion Week. One of the trends I noticed, was that celebrities either had their hair and makeup styled to the nines, or they opted for a sort of undone, unkempt look. Last week at the at Matthew Williamson's Show is a perfect example of the latter.

Blondes such as like Sienna Miller, Cat Deeley and Poppy Delevigne lined the front row, (along with Olivia Palermo, whom I was able to steal a few moments to talk beauty with) donning messy centre parts with ultrapale, face framing highlights. Cat even told me that she was wearing minimal makeup with only balm on her lips, whilst Sienna rocked a red pout as her stand out beauty look. Would you wear bedhead hair to a fashion show?
