Fashion Week's Pro It-List

THE PRO: Sarah Lucero
Stila's director of education and lead makeup artist

"My must-have backstage secret weapon as a makeup artist is a flesh-toned eye pencil. I have used this as an eye brightener, a lip enhancer, and as an upper lash line eyeliner to make the eye lids appear very big. It's a great trick to make your false lashes look sexy."

THE PRO: Jerrod Blandino
Creator of Too Faced Cosmetics

"Backstage can get really crazy so I always stick with foolproof tricks. Since eye makeup is the first to fade, our Shadow Insurance intensifies the pigments and locks it down, allowing the artists to blend the different shades, and after a minute, makes the color totally smudge-proof. Lastly, we keep a mini fridge backstage so models can pop their heads inside to cool off and shrink their pores before we touch up. It really makes a huge difference to keep their makeup looking flawless on the runway."

THE PRO: Lori Taylor
Smashbox makeup artist

"At LA Fashion Week we focused on glowing skin using Smashbox's High Definition Healthy FX Foundations, applied with the fingertips, and no powder. For a more velvety complexion, add powder foundation, using a damp foundation brush."

THE PRO: Omar Lopez
ghd hairstylist

"From detangling, to polishing the hair for shine, and putting hair in its place when creating a style, a quality hair brush is one thing I can never be without backstage. Also, invest in a fabulous styling tool like a great blow dryer, curling iron, or a fantastic flat iron. We rely on the ghd Styler at every show, and while styling celebrities. It allows you to change your look as often as you change your mind. Biggest backstage tip for everyday life: never be the same girl twice."

THE PRO: Dr. Dennis Gross
Manhattan dermatologist and creator of MD Skincare

"The heavy makeup during fashion week can clog pores. Cleansing your skin is essential, even when you're tired or rushed for time, so pick a multi-functional product that's fast, easy, and effective, even on the go!"

THE PRO: Anastasia Soare
Celebrity brow guru and creator of Anastasia Beverly Hills

"To get the big, bold brows we needed during LA fashion week, we filled in the models' brows with a brow pencil first to match their brow color, and applied Brow Fix to the top and bottom of the brow, followed by a brow powder to really build up the bold shape. We played around with different styles, but the designer wanted true Hollywood glamour, so the brows needed to be the first thing people noticed."

THE PROS: Jean and Jane Ford
Benefit co-creators

"A fall catwalk staple: smoldering eyes with black liner, flushed cheeks, and soft, matte skin. It's a sexy look on models, front-row celebs, everyone!".?
