Overheard Backstage At Fashion Week...

Shiseido makeup artist Dick Page:
"Why does everyone love mascara so much? I couldn't care less about it. My absolute must-have is blush. You could be at death's door, and a spot of blush is still going to make you look great."

Sephora PRO Beauty Team Gilbert Soliz:
"Cat eyes aren't going anywhere anytime soon."

Fekkai stylist Andre Rodman:
"Here's a tip: Curl your hair, but use bobby pins to pin the rings in place. Don't take them down until the second you walk out the door. Gives hair time to cool after you've curled it, which gives the curl time to set, while still holding the shape."
*True to form, his models were unpinning their hair literally right before they hit the catwalk.

Shiseido makeup artist:
"I think I might be addicted to makeup wipes. I'm not even just using them for makeup anymore."

NARS makeup artist Tom Pecheux:
"Right now, my favorite color is green. It's the color of luck, it's the color of money, and it's like a carnival. More green shadow!"

I'd rather have mascara than blusher. Blusher can't make my eyes look bigger and more awake! :)

I'd rather have blush and/or lipstick than mascara. I need color on my face, otherwise I look like I'm dead.

Mascara for me. I'd rather look like a pretty corpse than a flushing frog.

Totally mascara- and I am really fair skinned! Mascara draws attention to your eyes and you can bat your dark, luxurious eyelashes to get what you want. LOL! just kidding (kind of)! :)
