MAC Spring 2014 Trend Forecast Lip Palette, $40, available Spring 2014
Even the MAC representatives couldn't believe how many makeup artists were using this palette, but if you take a good look at it, you'll understand why: it has six perfect-for-spring lip colors that you'll wear constantly.
Celebrity hairstylist Jeanie Syfu called this dry shampoo her "hero product" of Fashion Week, and she used it at just about every show she lead. Instead of applying it the way we're all used to -- at the roots for soaking up the greasies -- she sprayed it all over to thicken and mattify the hair. "It's such a fresh, modern look for spring," said Syfu.
This is the Holy Grail of makeup remover. Makeup artists buy it by the case, and its Totalbeauty.com product rating of 8.9 isn't too shabby, either.

Moisturizer should be applied before makeup -- it's Beauty 101. So imagine working on a model, only to have her skin dry up after you've finished her face. Enter this spray water. It can be applied over makeup for a much-needed boost of hydration. (And when it's 105 degrees backstage, it doubles as air conditioning.)
No matter how meticulous a makeup artist is, it's easy to slip up when you're being nudged by the artist next to you ... or swarmed by a group of beauty reporters (Oops). That's why they turn to these ingenious pointed Q-tips to clean up bleeding lipstick, smudged eyeliner, and caked concealer.
Our Beauty Editor Dawn was smack dab in the middle of all the behind-the-scenes hustle and bustle, and amidst all the hairspray-fueled chaos, she noticed a handful of items everywhere she looked -- the essential products for hairstylists and makeup artists. Sure, the tables were overflowing with palettes, brushes, pins, and notes in every color, shape, and size imaginable, and yet, the majority of makeup artists and hairstylists had the same go-to's in their beauty arsenal.
Coincidence? You could call it that, but it seems like the best of the best in the industry all gravitated toward these 8 products for a reason.
