As you know, I spent a fair amount of time backstage this season. When I wasn\u2019t snapping away on my camera, I seized every opportunity to peruse the hair and makeup stations. At every show, there is one designated beauty sponsor for each of the three major categories: hair, makeup and nails. It is the purpose of the hair and makeup artists to use the products of each sponsor when creating the look, but let\u2019s get real; you can\u2019t expect every line to be so complete that no other reinforcements are needed to get the desired look. This is why the hair and makeup teams come prepared with their essential secret weapons.<\/p>\n

I know what you\u2019re thinking, is this just some ordinary \u201cbackstage beauty products\u2026revealed<\/i>,\u201d article? Certainly not. I\u2019m not even going there, because why should I? There have been countless articles divulging the favorite cult products of artists everywhere, and frankly, most of us don\u2019t really care about the exact kind of surgical tape that is used to remove a pound of glitter from beneath the eye. Right? We want the good stuff\u2014the things that we can use daily <\/i>to look and feel our best.<\/p>\n

So, this is a rundown of the most current and trustworthy backstage beauty products that every girl<\/span> needs in her kit for every day life. These are products that I own and stand behind\u2026these are simply the backstage beauty essentials that you actually<\/span> need<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\"Backstage<\/a>Bioderma Crealine<\/a> – Famous for being used by just about every makeup artist from New York to Paris, this hero product does it all. It will remove a face full of makeup and clean your brushes. It\u2019s simple, yet highly effective. I also spotted Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water a lot backstage. Similar to Bioderma, this Japanese favorite features a gentle, non-greasy formula for maximum results.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jart+ Water-Full Hydrogel Mask<\/a> – When models arrived at Opening Ceremony this season, the first stop was the Dr. Jart table, where everyone was given a quick facial for a clean slate. “It’s all about your skin as the first line of defense,” Joy Fennell of Dr. Jart said. “We put on a mask that instantly infuses hydration and helps with the skin’s elasticity.” I walked home with this very mask, and I can honestly say, this works! Its SK-II <\/a>quality and left my skin super plumped, hydrated and glowing. I would use this type of mask anytime you need a little hydra-boost. I must mentioned that the Dr. Jart+ Premium Time Renewing Serum<\/a> is fabulous as well. My friend Aimee from The Formula Blog<\/a> swears by this. Now I know why.<\/p>\n

Embryolisse<\/a> \u2013 This French pharmacy all-star is one of the most \u201cfeel good,\u201d lightweight moisturizers out there. Sure it\u2019s not packed with all the science anti-aging stuff that is going turn back time, but it feels super luxurious and doesn\u2019t cause redness or breakouts, so it\u2019s perfect for sensitive skin. This is why it\u2019s used backstage. I LOVE to travel with my Embryolisse, because it\u2019s perfect for post-flight touchups and rehydration. It also preps the skin amazingly for makeup. This should be every party girl\u2019s secret weapon.<\/p>\n

Lucas’ Papaw Ointment<\/a>\u2013 Another one of those do-it-alls. It\u2019s like a way more intense Neosporen. Made out of an Australian fruit called the papaw, this ointment can be used to treat cuts, scrapes, splinters, chapped lips, cuticles, elbows, and just about anything else. I love it for travel, and use it on my lips and around my eyes for extra moisture. Even Net-A-Porter picked this baby up. I even apply on my eyebrows to make them thicker and healthier. Oh did I forget to mention that this creates a dope glossy eye<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"Backstage<\/a><\/p>\n

Bumble and Bumble Prep<\/a> \u2013 A detangler, leave-in conditioner, and a substitution for washing the models\u2019 hair in between shows, this product is top-of-the-line. At Proenza, many of the girls showed up with tons of products in their hair, so artists used Prep to \u201crestart\u201d the hair and bring it back to life. It dries faster than water and makes hair much softer. My friend Sam<\/a>, turned me onto this baby. \u201cIf a girl has bangs and she slept on them funny, she can just hit them with Prep and then redo them in the morning instead of having to start fresh.\u201d \u2014 Jimmy Paul, Hairstylist<\/i><\/p>\n

Simple Skincare Exfoliating Wipes<\/a>\u2013 These double-sided wipes gently lift dead skin cells from the face, leaving skin smooth and revitalized. They come fully packed with vitamins and the added Aloe Vera is super calming. There are no dyes or perfumes used, so it\u2019s gentle enough for all skin types. These are also perfect for travel. I use mine on the plane just after takeoff to clean my skin before popping on my good ole\u2019 Embryolisse moisturizer and my favorite eye cream.<\/p>\n

Beauty Blender<\/a> \u2013 This is the KEY to makeup application<\/a>, especially for those who use foundations and highlighters. When you apply a spray toner, like Tata Harper Herbal Toner<\/a> or Caudalie Beauty Elixir<\/a>, onto the face mid-foundation application, it creates the smoothest application.<\/p>\n

\"Backstage<\/a>Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser<\/a> – Just a cute as the original Baby Lips<\/a>, right? This newly launched skincare wonder actually works<\/em>. Seen backstage at Mara Hoffman. The key is to apply sparingly (wherever you need a little help) as opposed to lathering like a primer over the entire face. Smooth over your moisturizer (under foundation) and watch your pores and even fine lines vanish. The matte finish simply blurs any skin imperfections leaving poreless smooth skin.<\/p>\n

Rohto Eye Drops<\/a> \u2013 To make your whites whiter<\/i>. I have talked about my love for Rohto<\/a> before\u2026I am basically addicted to these eyes drops. They are great because they immediately make you look more rested and awake.<\/p>\n

Mason Pearson \u201cPopular\u201d Bristle\/ Nylon Mix Brush<\/a> \u2013 Everyone knows that this is the best and most universal brush. Hair stylists use it because its the most gentle. It doesn\u2019t cause split ends or irritation to the scalp but can be used to create volume and easily brush out tangles. I love the mini version<\/a> for travel.<\/p>\n
