NYFW Backstage Beauty Pass: Day 7

W's Associate Beauty Editor, Christina Han, is backstage for at all the major shows during New York Fashion Week, sharing tips and tricks from the beauty professionals who are busy creating next season's looks. In this installment, Han visits Ralph Lauren and L'Wren Scott.

Ralph Lauren:

This year however, Pecheux was able to coax the designer into adding straight lines of black eyeliner to lids for what Pecheux calls “elegant subtlety.”


L'Wren Scott:

A dot of Juicy Tubes gloss in Clear on lids keeps the look according to de Mey, “believable and not too costume-y.”
