Are you all ready to yank out your micro-crimpers?

Ruffian - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

What rocks the runway doesn't always rock in reality but I might just micro-crimp my mid-lengths this fall.

Stunning! Pussycat eyes. MAC Paint Pots or Tom Ford Noir Absolute would be purr-fect for this look. Apply the crease with your eyes opened for accuracy and balance.

Bedazzled nails? I might just...

Loving the statement brow with the thin, dramatic liner. MAC Veluxe Brow collection is the cat's meow.

I am not a fan of the hair in this shot as it's borderline conehead for me, but many times on the runway you need to see a little exaggeration otherwise 'everyday' hair looks blah on stage.

Channel your inner Joan Jett - black is back.

Please no. This is a little too 90s grunge for me. I never liked it the first time around.

sigh - Not everyone has backstage shots available.

The hair was rolled in a casual, deconstructed reverse French twist - some of the backstage photos showed the napes with braids - multi-textures work well with this style and a braid within the base will build fine hair and give your a great structure to anchor your hairpins and bobby pins.

I wish we had this active of a social media mecca when I was leading teams for L'Oreal Paris Fashion Week in Canada - the buzz is always backstage - at least for us hair & makeup artists.
