The final runway beauty looks during Fashion Week are what we wait for all season, but those breathtaking moments are rarely as fun as getting a glimpse behind the scenes. For the beauty-obsessed, backstage is where the magic happens. It's where we can get the step-by-step for these chevron nail designs [1] from Rebecca Minkoff and all the models' skin care secrets [2]. The vibe before the show is also way less serious than it is on the runways — models hang out, take selfies sans makeup, and make plenty of silly poses. Scroll through to catch up on the moments you may not have seen when sitting front row.
