Backstage Beauty at Giles
London Fashion Week is in full swing and we’re on the hunt for the best beauty looks of the week. At the Giles show, makeup artists went for a bright red lip as the focus of the face, with little other makeup. Hair was slicked back in an elegant chignon. Tres chic indeed!

Backstage Beauty at Anna Sui
Backstage at Anna Sui, hair was kept simple. Hairstylists added body by securing rollers to the top of the hair, and applying a bit of heat and hairspray to set. The result was an easy, natural, slight wave.

Backstage Beauty at ADAM
