At Martin Margiela, models didn’t wear lipstick, they wore entire solar systems, pressed on Vaseline. Some had twinkly silver lips that matched their holographic blazers, while others had blended shades of purple and gold. If you’re not ready to go fully pigmented, enjoy the private knowledge you’re adapting a Pat McGrath trend by simply slicking on a glinting gloss.

Rough patch

Sunday Riley’s original Good Genes (a favourite of Helen Mirren) was pulled off the shelves this year due to its lactic acid content. They’ve worked quickly to adjust the formula, so it returns (£85, net-a-porter.com) and exfoliates just as well, but with the added bonus of being… legal.

Skip ’n’ go
