Working around the clock, fine-tuning their collections, dashing between model castings and doing makeup tests, it's a tough call for designers to keep it together during Fashion Week. We quizzed our favorite names on the must-haves that keep them looking great during the fashion frenzy!
Grey Ant are one hip and healthy fashion duo! Other than the unsurprising must-haves of iPhones and Blackberrys, their Fashion Week must-haves are alkaline water, vitamins and NanoGreens supplements...plus a few M∙A∙C essentials of course: Fix +, Fluidline in Blacktrack, Plushblack Mascara and a stick of Tinted Lip Conditioner in Petting Pink give them their signature low-key edge.

JC Obando never switches off his creative consciousness while buzzing around New York Fashion Week: alongside his trusty Blackberry ("my 6th finger and middle back brain!"), he totes three Moleskines ("one for sketches, one for general notes, one for lists"), a Copic Marker for off-the-cuff sketches and a host of M∙A∙C Pigments (especially Black Black) "to create shadows on my sketches and give form and dimensions to whatever I'm doing."
The Vena Cava girls are pros at dealing with pre-show stress: Japanese Kombucha tea, long walks and a distracting radio keep them calm, while Pigma Micron pens to jot thoughts in their Moleskine notebooks keep them collected. Makeup that will stay put until the after party's over means that mascara and longwear lipcolour is a style must.

Costello Tagliapietra's crew keep things real on show day: coffee, zero email contact and quality time with their dog all help switch off stress...not that heading to Milk Studios with a little Motrin, Rescue Remedy and their Macbook (oh, and a beard comb and Safety Scissors for on-the-go grooming!) don't help keep them cool!

A minimal mistress of staying organized and looking pulled together at fashion week, Yeohlee Teng pares her kit back to the absolute essentials. In her bag: Lip Conditioner, dental floss, Eye Kohl in Smolder, a Metrocard and a black Sharpie marker! If only we could all stay so streamlined!

Tasteful and tailored are Doo.Ri's signature styles, so it's little surprise that her Fashion Week essentials are as sleek as her catwalk shows: an iPhone, Moleskine sketchbook and Muji multi-colour pen stay stashed in her bag alongside her favorite Lip Conditioner and Eye Pencil in Ebony.

Erin Fetherston's renowned for her fabulously feminine collections, and her personal Fashion Week style is equally groomed: she keeps her bangs looking crisp with shears and a fine-toothed comb and her eyes defined in a coat of Zoom Lash Mascara, while in her bag essentials are pared down to a Blackberry and minimalist Muji notepad.
They stay practical and on the pulse in combat boots when running between the studio and sample room...they look fabulous "no matter what they're wearing or where they are" in the original VIVA GLAM lipstick...they scour fashion magazines to scout the hottest models of the moment...they disguise their all-nighters with oversized sunglasses...and they groove in their studio to Kylie and Rihanna. Fashion Week for The Blonds sounds surprisingly UN-stressful and super fun!
In 1994, M·A·C introduced VIVA GLAM, an outspoken deep...

Cynthia Rowley knows a thing or two about staying pepped up over Fashion Week - she's got her kit down pat. For those signature black eyes, it's Liquid Eye Liner in Boot Black all the way ("but I've been known to use the Sharpie I always carry with me in a pinch!" she quips), Redken Water Wax for smooth hair, an iPhone (especially as it holds all the photos of her loved ones) and a few snacks such as granola bars, nuts, or dried fruit. "Eat when you can, sleep when you can" is her Fashion Week motto.
