- Backstage, people are still smiling on Thursday, but by Friday the energy starts to lag and Saturday is just frenetic.
- Yes, the some of the Target models had bullseye red lips and nails.
- Groomed eyebrows and big eyebrows are back
- Clean make up, fresh looking skin is what’ll be hot for Spring/Summer 2014.
- Nude is coming in a big way.
- Nude lips are “a great look for everyone, and goes well with a smokey eye and natural make-up. It’s fun” says Grace Lee
- “You can absolutely find great make-up that’s affordable” (yes, this was sponsored by Maybelline)
- Nude nails, fresh and clean, are the next hot thing. “Like you’re nail but better. Bare or complexion enhancing,” are the buzzwords.
- Hair is pretty much anything goes: flowy, beachy, short cuts are coming back and a lot of loose updos.
- Clothes are flowy, yet showy, and emaciated models are still par for the course.

- “Too much bronzer –they tend to overdo it and look orange.”
- “Also, women don’t pay enough attention when applying mascara to the root of their lash line. A lot of them are in a hurry and only get their ends, but when I do their mascara, I start right at the lash line and wiggle my way up and it makes a huge difference.”

- “Over working the hair. Keep it simple.”
- “Using too much product. Sometimes we think we need more, when really, we just need less.
- If you’re looking for how-tos, Redken Ready has tutorials that are super user friendly.
- “Over trimming their cuticles, that’s massive, and can lead to inflammation and bacteria.”
- “Using dark polishes and getting it on the cuticles –they just look bruised.
