Moynihan Station-West 33rd Street, NYC
PART 2 (Part 1)
A bit of a maze layout---backstage at the spacious Moynihan Station gave the teams of makeup-hair-and nail artists/technicians-some room to get the models ready, in time-for the Academy of Art University show.
Highlights:
THE MAKEUP by Victor Cembellin and the MAC PRO Team
Groomed brows powdered+brushed, defined contoured cheeks in tawny bronze, black lined upper lids but nothing overly dramatic, neutral-slightly tinted natural lips...
 |
| Victor Cembellin gives guys powder gets rid of shine |
A light attachment on an iPhone...ensures the perfect 'face' when facing the runway lights...that can drown out makeup-even when a natural look is desired. Red carpet and to an extent-HD TV makeup is same---
 |
| backstage makeup staple Embryolisse, Evian spray water |
 |
| Bioderma mineral water- great way to remove models tough to remove makeup-maybe layered on from a prior show. |
 |
| a lineup of makeup stations-fairly neat |
 |
| typical MAC PRO TEAM MEMBER 'kit' |
 |
| number of brushes=staggering and they are all clean too! |
THE HAIR-Jon Reyman for Aveda;
 |
| men's board ---they fell into two categories for hair+makeup: Euro Soccer-Stars the new aspirational silhouette for guys these days,,,and Alien Sex Fiends (hair very slicked down)... |
 |
| Very precise hair cut-slicked down using Aveda products |
 |
| women's hair was "Rosemary's Baby meets the 21st century"---figured that meant a plastered down hair-like how a baby hair looks when born...using the models own hair-without attachments. FYI-not wet hair-very stiff to the touch. |
 |
| team of 3 wielding hair dryers...caps ensured flatness upper section of hair |
 |
| hair gets doused with Aveda Flax Seed Aloe |
Products used-Brilliant, Confixor (medium hold), Flax Seed Aloe (serious hold) available at www.aveda.com
THE NAILS by Patricia Yankee
 |
| IMO-one show's polish the models will probably want to keep on... |
What Else
Much has been Instagrammed about MODEL STREETSYLE...but imo-they kinda dress like their parents---staple top=tees---including one in homage to early 1980s fav band JOY DIVISION (!!!), l/s plaid shirts, jeans...workboots, Vans slip-ons, mid-low top sneakers...the same 'ole
WHAT'S DIFFERENT Backstage---
 |
| selfie stick...not a back scratcher...technically speaking |
 |
| charger...smartphone charging station great idea... |
 |
| mint infused FIJI water...nobody seems to drink tap water these days. |
THE PRE SHOW ACTION
 |
| SELFIES!!!!!! |
A lot of models are students---reading real books-Bonus Points!
Models do eat food---they are just naturally beautiful---and have naturally thin builds...at that age---that's why they are models!
 |
| two friends---have a great sense of humor...hope they had fun this NYFW! |
