This season I was able to go backstage to get all of the beauty details for the Kate Spade New York Fashion Week Fall 2016 collection. As a journalist, consumer and someone who adores all things Kate Spade this was most definitely a Fashion Week highlight.
We noticed a return to a more natural beauty look featuring lightly lined lips in a soft nude tone, paired with a neutral eye and simple hairstyle. The subtle makeup allowed the chic collection to take center stage. Here we have step by step beauty tips straight from backstage. Now, you can recreate this beautiful look in the convenience of your own home!
