NEW YORK — Runway shows give us glimpses into fashion trends for upcoming seasons. But backstage at New York Fashion Week, which concluded Feb. 19, there was a bevy of beauty tips and tricks waiting to be discovered, and many are more approachable for the do-it-yourselfer than one might think.
Behind the scenes at the David Tlale runway show at Lincoln Center, models sat with small cans of Rene Furterer products in their hair (yes, the actual cans) as an alternative way to create a curl for a French twist. For tighter curls, stylists wrapped small sections of hair around long sticks and then heated the hair to set it. Once the stick was removed, voila! — instant curls.
The makeup for the show was meant to be “a vision of a beautiful strong girl in the aftermath,” said Louise Zizzo for MAC Cosmetics. She achieved this with a strong eye with angled liner, a look that’s cropped up in various iterations throughout New York Fashion Week for fall 2015. Try being bold with eyeliner at home with a good angled brush and some bravery.
“You kind of just have to go for it,” she said. Don’t worry about messing up — that’s what makeup remover is for, after all.
