From Dior and Balmain to Christopher Kane, the Spring/Summer runways were awash with lip-smackingly gorgeous ice-cream pastels.

And the makeup that complimented the hues packed a punch with deep intensity and bold flashes of colour in pretty dolly mixture shades.

It’s not just the fashion pack who are loving the gelato-inspired trend, celebs are going crazy for the super-girlie look too with Nicki Minaj (pictured right) and Katy Perry blazing a trail for unashamedly colourful makeup.

So, forget subtlety this season and embrace bubblegum blue and candyfloss pink!

Here are some ice cream parlour inspired goodies to try.
