As New York Fashion Week comes to a close, everyone wants to know the backstage secrets to great hair and makeup.

How to get that perfect, glossy mane? How to get a dewy, clean make-up look without looking like a greasy mess? Here are some tips from some of the top makeup artists in the industry on how to get that runway-ready look:

-“If you want the super glossy lacquered lip that will stay on, use a lip stain first, then lipstick and finish off with lip gloss”.

-“If you want a natural lash look, use black mascara on your roots and brown on your tips of the lashes”.

-“For some of the biggest tricks on how to get celebrity killer cheekbones, concentrate on highlighting and contouring”.

-” Even with a neutral lip color, lip liner is key”.

-“To bring out eyes and make them appear wider, use a highlighter in the corner for a super glam look”.

-“Try something fresh and new, like Violet eyes (as seen at Derek Lam )”.

-“Smoky eyes is always a good thing. Line the rim in a kohl pencil, and blend dark brown eye shadows together for the perfect eye”.
