Many people eagerly follow fashion month to see all of the hot-off-the-runway fashion trends. But any beauty lover worth her salt knows that what the talented makeup artists, hairstylists and manicurists are creating backstage is as exciting as the latest must-have accessory or skirt shape. Per usual, the Fall 2018 shows had tons of next-level beauty looks to please any at-home makeup artist — but it's the most fantastical and creative looks that really caught our attention.

Fashion month kicked off with artists like Pat McGrath, Guido Palau and Tom Pecheux working their magic backstage in New York to make old-school styles, like claw clips and blue eyeshadow (really), happen again. The excitement continued in London, Milan and Paris with the beauty pros digging into their kits to bring out one unexpected look after another. See: rhinestones, feathers, glitter masks and, erm, third eyes.

Read on for some of the most memorable hair, makeup and nail looks from the Fall 2018 runways — you just might learn a trick or two to try yourself.

Leave it to Pat McGrath to bring some major unicorn drama to the Maison Margiela how with holographic lips. The makeup artist extraordinaire sent models down the runway wearing a range of vivid lip colors but she took things up a notch by blinging out select looks with chunky glitter for a prismatic effect.

The beauty look at Anna Sui was one of the most talked about, thanks to Pat McGrath hinting at a new product while decorating eyes with violet and pink eyeshadow and Twiggy-like lashes. The good news is, the Mthrshp Subversive La Vie en Rose Palette, $55, has been released so we can easily recreate the exact look.

There were no wallflower lipstick shades at Annakiki with models sporting bright yellow, opaque white, shamrock green and vivid purple lippies. Glowing skin and bare eyes complemented the statement lips. If you're feeling inspired, you can recreate the look with NYX Macaron Lippies, $6.50.

It's time for a trip to the crafts store to pick up rhinestones because crystals featured at a surprising number of runway shows — and we don't mean on the clothes. At Prada, Pat McGrath topped electric graphic eyeshadow with Swarovski crystals. Hairstylist Guido Palau contrasted the glam eyes with just-out-of-the-shower wet-look hair.
