As seen backstage WHILE IT’S TRUE THAT FASHION WEEK

is often used to trial new beauty launches, there are staple hair and makeup products we see in artists’ kits year after year. Thanks to the gentle hum of the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer ($500)—as opposed to the usual roar of a dryer—backstage at Proenza Schouler, editors could hear themselves speak; Bioderma Sensibio H2O ($14.90) micellar water removes all traces of makeup from models’ faces without irritating their skin; L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray ($16) gives touchable hold; the deeply soothing Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré ($39) hydrates and primes skin for makeup; a Beautyblender ($20) is key for seamless-looking foundation; Jao Refresher ($14) is a hand sanitizer that’s considered as good as a portable sink (which are sparse backstage); and M.A.C Cosmetics Face & Body Foundation ($35) has a shade match for every model.
