It's always fun to wonder where make-up artists and hairstylists get their inspiration from each season. 

And when it comes to this summer's trends, we've noticed quite a few parallels between what we've seen on the catwalks and famous works of art throughout history.

Whether it's the pearlescent skin of Vermeer's Girl With A Pearl Earring, the Gothic black hair of a Beardsley illustration or the stark white and red make-up echoing a Rothko's White Over Red, this summer's beauty trends definitely seem to have a bold, artistic edge to them.
