NYFW Dreams Came True: Behind the Scenes as a Makeup Artist





NYFW Dreams Came True: Behind the Scenes as a Makeup Artist


This year, I had the honor of living a dream so many in the beauty industry aspire to—working backstage at New York Fashion Week (NYFW)! It was an unforgettable experience filled with creativity, collaboration, and inspiration.


Behind the Brushes


As a makeup artist, being backstage at NYFW is like stepping into a creative whirlwind. The energy is unmatched, and every moment is a mix of focus and excitement. From flawless skin prep to bold, runway-ready looks, every brushstroke was a chance to help bring a designer’s vision to life.


One of the most rewarding parts? Collaborating with such an incredible team:

Designers who shared their vision and trusted us to complement their creations.

Models who transformed into walking art with every look.

Production Staff who worked tirelessly to make everything seamless.

Artists of all kinds who infused their talents into every detail of the show.


Together, we worked against the clock to create looks that would shine under the bright lights and amplify the magic on the runway.


The Inspiration


What makes NYFW so special is not just the fashion but the sense of collaboration and artistry that surrounds every moment. Seeing a designer’s collection come to life on the runway, knowing I had a hand in creating the beauty behind it, was deeply inspiring.


Every face I worked on was unique, every design bold and fresh, and every person I met brought their own creative energy to the room. It’s these connections and experiences that left me feeling more motivated and passionate than ever about my craft.


Grateful for the Opportunity


A huge thank you to @themodelexperience for making this dream a reality. Working with such talented people in this iconic setting is something I’ll always carry with me.


NYFW taught me that creativity knows no limits, collaboration is everything, and dreams do come true when you’re willing to put in the work.


Here’s to the next chapter in this beautiful journey. Until next time, NYC!
