We've been keeping a sartorial eye on the happenings over at NYFW with Maybelline New York, and they've been giving us a sneak peek behind the scenes with their makeup artists.
Whether you need to conceal those pesky under eye circles, want to learn how to apply perfect statement liner or are craving that flawless skin of the models, Maybelline have been sharing their pro tips with us.
And today we're taking a look back at five more of their shows and choosing three more products to help you nail those runway looks.
- Public School
Public School is the collaboration of New York City born designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osbourne. Since its founding in 2008, the inspiration behind the label has come from both low and high references to fashion, music and art.
Public School won the CFDA Sawovski Award for Menswear in 2013 and the 2013 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Award. In February 2014, they introduced their first women's wear collection to great acclaim. The brand is sold in major department stores and speciality boutiques.
This will be the second season that Maybelline New York sponsors Public School.
- DKNY
Donna Karan grew up in the fashion world; her mother was a model and her father made men's suits. And Karan worked for Liz Claiborne and later for Anne Klein for ten years before launching her own brand in 1984.
Her first collection featured a bodysuit, one of the seven key items in her simple-dressing system. And in 1995, Karan expanded her brand with the launch of DKNY. She received the Coty Award for fashion excellence in 1977 and 1981, and was inducted into the Coty Hall of Fame in 1984. More recently, Karan has been named the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year three time and was honoured with the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004.
This will be the eleventh season that Maybelline New York sponsors DKNY.
- Custo Barcelona
Custo Barcelona is a Spanish label, created in 1981 after brother Custo and David Dalmau returned from a long motorcycle trip across America. The had become enamoured with the colourful fashions of the Southern California surfer lifestyle and sought to combine the relaxed feel of this trend with the sophistication of European design.
They have attracted an international celebrity following that includes Charlize Theron, Shakira and Antonio Banderas.
This will be the sixteenth season that Maybelline New York sponsors Custo Barcelona.
- Zoe Jordan

Dublin-born Zoe Jordan is a fashion designer who focuses on clean lines, fresh palettes and youthful cuts.
Her SS15 collection was urban in inspiration and fun in execution. She is one of our favourite designers of the season and we can't wait to see the success that she achieves.
- Opening Ceremony
This brand began in 2002 when Carol Lim and Humberto Leon returned from a trip to Hong Kong feeling inspired to quit their corporate jobs and pursue their dream. It started as a single store in downtown Manhattan but quickly expanded and has outposts in LA and London, departments stores in Tokyo, a wholesale showroom, an in-house clothing line, an commerce site, a TV channel and an annual magazine.
They have worked with brands like Rodarte, Topshop and Pendleton, and have worked on creative projects with Spike Jonze, Terence Koh and Chloe Sevigny.
This will be the second season that Maybelline New York sponsors Opening Ceremony.
And what of the cosmetic trends? Well, the looks focused on the lips; think rose and soft blush colours, balanced with a groomed brow.
- Rebel Bouquet Lipstick (Launching in Ireland March 1st)
We've been scouring through the makeup artists shots and we spied Rebel Bouquet lipsticks in their kits. There are four perfect SS15 shades in the collection; Peach Poppy, Power Peony, Petal Pink and Ravishing Rose which just glide on the lips and add a super pop off colour to your makeup look.
- Brow Satin Eyebrow Pencil (€8.29)
We want to keep the look natural but groomed and a small bit of attention on your brows goes a very long way.
Apply colour in short, sharp strokes to the brow, filling in and deepening colour as necessary. Then simply fill in the gaps with the cream powder to blend a seamless, natural looking brow.
- FIT Me Powder (€8.99)
A runway look needs a pristine finish and that's where FIT Me powder comes in. Fresh and breathable and natural looking, you'll be good to go!
