If you're reading this, I bet I know what your Instagram feed has been looking like since the last five days. From designers' new collections to fashion and beauty trends being spotted by an enthusiastic group of fashion professionals at the venue and online – we know exactly what's on. The front-row access is now unrestricted thanks to the Instagram live feature. But what goes on backstage is unimaginable. Think makeup ninjas who're never seen without their magic wand and sprinting hairstylists carrying hair spray in one hand and a teaser comb in the other. In this fabulously swift environment, we managed to catch up with models and makeup artists and what they do to ensure the perfect look on the ramp. Models quickly move from one shoot to another and during fashion week they move from one show to another in no time. You'd think this hectic schedule, practising for shows till late night and the constant travelling wouldn't be stressful. If anything, it plays havoc on the skin, leading to breakouts and a dull complexion. Yet, their skin still manages to look amazing even off-duty. If I don't sleep for 3 nights in a row at a decent time, I'm forced to roam around with raccoon eyes. What we don't have in common is, these models have access to the best makeup artists and skin professionals at all times. So we thought we could take some of their beauty wisdom for our readers to marinate in their heads. Here's backstage beauty access to uncovering skincare secrets that only hair and makeup experts and runway models would know.
