I think its foundation

I think that its foundation made by Christian Dior. Its called Airflash foundation or something. Hope that helps

^ Even if that foundation is good it requires too much work.

 

[notmanons]

In every backstage they use L'oreal hairspray!

Actually no. I don't use it since it's too expensive (I think like $60) but I've tested it at a make up counter and it's very nice. You only need One tiny swift blast to cover your face it it covers very nicely and invisibly. I would use it if I could afford that much for an everyday product.

 

[Ksanochka Vanmra]

Yes, I've tried it and it lookede very good, although the tone I used was a bit dark for me (like always). But it's very expensive and I have the feeling the first spray wouldn't last much –I think you will waste a lot of product until you learn to use it well.

I heard that they put elizabeth ardens 8 hour cream on models cheekbones to highlight them, having tried it myself, i have to say its rly very good!!

 

[pavement]

I of course see Mason Pearson hairbrushes all over the place. And lust after them. I only have a pocket sized one.

I have noticed that El'nett hairspray can be found backstage at pretty much every show. And Kerastase Nutritive Mousse seems to be very popular as well. Pat M is apparantly very fond of Visine, she claims that it minimizes pores

 

[The_Ida]

I use 8 hour creme for highlighting my cheekbones too, it's absolutely brilliant. Also on the upper eyelids

 

[Street_a_Licious]

I heard Dior uses toothbrushes for the application of mascara?

 

[misssakura]

I've seen a few of them use Touche Eclat for highlighting and also on the lips, if you watch Fashion TV Pat Mcgrath goes through a bunch of products she uses but I'm too busy to dig them up right now.

why do the stylists use paper in the models hair or hairbands(in picture in post #2)?
what's the "effect"?

 

[Flyest]

so their hair doesn't get greasy of foundation or make up...

 

[malin_08]

okey, thank you!
it's the ultimate backstage-look

I think with the paper you sometimes see it under those big hair clips right? I thiink that stops the clip leaving a bump in the hair.

 

[Suburban Snob]

^^
Yep, that's right.

How would yo get the mascara from the tube onto the toothbrush? What does this do compared to using the mascara brush?
