Next winter's beauty inspiration starts here
Silver Eyeliner? Eyebrow embellishments? Whatever the New York Fashion Week's AW17 season brings in terms of backstage beauty, we'll be showcasing it right here. From Jeremy Scott to Jason Wu, you'll get a peek behind the velvet curtain at some of the best NYFW shows.
3.1 Philip Lim
The look: Fresh Faced
Make-up artist: Francelle Daly
Key products: NARS Multiple in Copacabana and Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser
Top tip: Ditch brushes and use your fingers instead. Their natural heat warms up the product for easier application and a more natural finish. Think your skin only better.
Marchesa
The look: Pink Placement
Make-up artist: Gucci Westman
Key products: Rose toned lipstick
Top tip: Warm up the lipstick on the back of your hand and dab over eyes, cheeks and lips with your fingers. Next, buff over the top with a brush to make sure it's blended in seamlessly.
Michael Kors
The look: Full Brows
Make-up artist: Dick Page
Key products: MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow set and powder shadows
Top tip: Rather than drawing them on and taking them into 'Insta brow' territory, Dick simply amplified the individual shape and shade of the models' natural brows. First, he brushed them up with tinted gel, before filling in any gaps with powder. You're aiming for fullness, not precision.
Delpozo
The look: Pink Haze
Make-up artist: Monica Marmo
Key products: NARS Dual-Intensity Blush in Fervor and Dual-Intensity Eyeshadows in Rigel and Antares
Top tip: Apply the blusher onto your eyes with a fluffy brush, keeping the edges diffused. Skip mascara to keep it feeling more low-key.
Altuzarra
The look: Pearlised Pink
Make-up artist: Tom Pecheux for MAC
Key products: MAC Cream Colour Base in Shell
Top tip: Brows give the face a lot of personality, but for this you want all focus to be on the highlight pearlised areas of the face. To take the brows down, use left over foundation on a brush to buff over them lightly. Next, apply your one pearlised tone across eyes, cheeks and lips.
Prabal Gurung
The look: Colour Blocking
Make-up artist: Diane Kendal for MAC
Key products: MAC Chromacakes in red, green, blue, orange
Top tip: When you're going for such a statement eye, the key to keeping things feeling fresh is to opt for a pared back base. For eyes, shape is key. Try experimenting with shapes that sit above the crease of the eyelid, and use a playing card to get super straight edges.
Jenny Packham
The look: New Romantic
Make-up artist: Cassandra Garcia for Bobbi Brown
Key products: Bobbi Brown Lip Colour in Burnt Red and Blackberry
Top tip: Rather than going straight in with the lip colour, create a matte base with a ruddy blusher, applied with a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Next, layer over the lipstick and blend in, keeping the edges diffused.
Victoria Beckham
The look: The New Neutrals
Key products: Victoria Beckham for Estee Lauder Morning Aura, new grey eyeshadow and matte pink lipstick
Top tip: Apply a sweep of light grey eyeshadow across the eyelid using your fingertips. You're aiming for a rough wing shape with not too much definition. For lips, instead of applying straight from the bullet use your fingers to pat it into the centre of the lip and blend outwards.
Alexander Wang
The look: Nocturnal Eyes
Make-up artist: Diane Kendal for NARS
Key products: NARS Via Veneto Larger Than Life Eyeliner and Black Moon Velvet Eyeliner
Top tip: Use different textures of black liner (kohl, gel and liquid) over the top and bottom lash lines and softly smudge in with your fingertips. To take it more onto the grungy (but still pretty) side, later gloss over the top.
