Get the hot look of Prada Spring 2013. Check out our Allure video at Prada Spring 2013 fashion show in Milan with makeup artist Pat McGrath and hairstylist Guido Palau. Intense red lips and a tomboyish French twist brought an edge to Prada's elegant, Asian influenced collection. Pat McGrath created manga inspired lip using a matte electric red lipstick - she used CoverGirl Lip Perfection in Hot.  For extra pop she used an electric pink cream and pressed that into the center of the lips. To give the models mouth look even more voluptuous she added a thin line of white theatrical paint along the cupids bow.

Allure Backstage - Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 Backstage Beauty Video.

As makeup artist Peter Philips explained to me backstage, "You could almost call it a signature McQueen look. We did the girls really pure - a perfect skin using Chanel Mat Lumiere, a matte finish foundation that has a velvety texture.  The look Peter created was a beautiful canvas for the netting - the beekeeper hats that all the models wore. Watch Allure Backstage: The Look of Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 video here now.

Allure Backstage Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 Backstage Beauty Video. Go backstage at Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 with makeup artist Francois Nars and hairstylist Guido Palau at New York Fashion week. 60's icon Edie Sedgwick was the inspiration of the Marc Jacobs show. THE LOOK: Mod liner, strong brows and teased hair.

As Francois Nars explained backstage "We came up with an updated version of the '60s look that Edie Sedgwick, the Andy Warhol superstar, was doing for herself. To make it fresh, we took out the heaviness of her look, we took out the eyelashes, but we kept the essence of it: thick eyebrows and black-and-white, very monochromatic makeup."

The hair look Guido Palau created was all about a voluminous, teased ponytail. Guido spritzed the hair with Redken Guts mousse, made a deep side part, and rough-dried it. For lift at the crown, he used Redken Quick Tease at the roots. After gathering the hair into a ponytail, Guido pulled out little pieces of hair right before the show started, "so it feels like she's slept in it."

There is probably no other designer in the world who perfectly captures the mood of the season than Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz. For Lanvin Fall 2010 Collection that meant projecting an image of femininity and strength. Hairstylist Guido Palau's iconic, manga-inspired black wigs and Pat McGrath's dark smouldering eyes gave the models a uniform sensual look.

Everything about this show was exotic, intoxicating and beautiful. Alber Elbaz told us he was making a statement about individuality, about women around the world all looking the same.  He was posing the question,  "Do you like what you see when everyone has the same look?".
