Some of the biggest names in the beauty industry can be spotted backstage during New York Fashion Week. Usually hidden by blow-dryers, brushes, and a model's head, there's an elite mix of nail experts (Jin Soon Choi, Tracylee), makeup artists (Pat McGrath, Gucci Westman), and a bevy of star hairstylists (Odile Gilbert, Paul Hanlon).
