NYFW: the beauty diaries

Door Tiany op 15/09/11

Backstage it's a total craze: an exciting chaos of models, hairdressers, a bunch of designer assisting personnel, manicure & pedicure ladies, photographers and of  course an entire legion of make-up artists all working out a brand new look of perfection on the pretty faces of models.

So guess who is present on each and every backstage occasion, making the pretty ladies even more beautiful with their brushes and little coloured potions and lotions.

Are you guessing who I'm talking about already? Ohh yes, my beloved readers, it is M.A.C., the one and only mayor partner in fashion crime and my absolute favourite make-up brand.

Part of this international army of make-up is our very own Elke who has managed to become part of this select and very renown group of artists working the backstages.

Her top secret is to enjoy the fashion craze of these hectic weeks and of course a little concealer applied with a brush just to make it all look more natural.

Alexander Wang: amazing show... amazing collection!

Make-up and what to remember? Well, I must say that the looks are very varied depending on the show, but I must admit the glossy and dewy skin is all over... so start taking good care of your skin, moisturize well and don't forget to 'Prep & Prime' before applying make-up.

Ohh btw, also present on nearly every show I attended was our Belgian beauty Hanne Gaby, who seems to be walking the catwalk of every major designer or brand. Besides her stylings and her ever so cute smile she is always accompanied by this fluffy white unicorn, which seems to be her lucky charm... where was I when these got dealt? Just joking.... I adore my job and life :)
