Backstage at Fashion Week you'll find models, stylists, artists, influencers . . . and tons and tons of beauty products! It may not always be perfectly organized, but it's also pretty damn dreamy. There are mascaras, hairsprays, beauty blending sponges, and more covering tables. Among those products are old staples as well as brand-new products that will make their debut on the runway.

In some cases, the products used on model won't be available to the public until months into the future. Take MAC Cosmetics' Trend Forecast Palette or Maybelline's Total Temptation mascara, which both won't hit shelves until Spring 2018. In other cases, brands finally reveal products that have been hyped for the past few months, such as Rihanna's entire Fenty Beauty line.

We rounded up the hottest new products used backstage during the New York Fashion Week Spring 2018, so you won't feel like you missed out on anything. Prepare your eyes for a gorgeous feast, and your wallets for inevitable splurges.

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color

Bobbi Brown is known for delivering makeup that embraces every wearer’s individuality and enhances their natural beauty. Its new line of Crushed Lip Colors ($29), which just launched in August, falls perfectly in line with their other products by offering 20 unique, lip-enhancing colors. Backstage at Tibi, the models got to test out the new shades, which take on a balm-meets-lipstick look and feel.

The cool thing about these balm-esque lipsticks, which just launched in August, is that they're packed with nourishing ingredients, including vitamins E and C, and beeswax. That means your lips will look and feel good. The formulation creates a super hydrated, soft-matte finish and, because they're rich in pigment, the color stays put all day long without feathering.

03
Oribe Gold Lust Pre-Shampoo Intensive Treatment

Oribe Gold Lust Pre-Shampoo Intensive Treatment

We're used to seeing models dolled up, but The Blonds seldom like to play by the rules. Case in point: the super wet, just-stepped-out-of-the-pool hair the models wore down the runway.

Kien Hoang, for Oribe Hair Care, said they wanted the models to look like they'd just gone for a swim. To make hair look slick, the team used the Oribe Lust Pre-Shampoo Intensive Treatment ($68), which just launched this month.

Like the name implies, Oribe’s Gold Lust Pre-Shampoo is applied to dry hair before washing. It gives hair a major dose of hydration, restores frazzled, damaged strands, and protects your hair from the elements. With a luxurious blend of coconut, macadamia, argan, sunflower, and almond oil, this hair treatment is not messing around.

It noticeably strengthens and moisturizes hair without making it feel weighed down or greasy, and the Bio-Restorative Complex — which includes a powerful trio of caffeine, biotin, and niacinamide — repairs, rejuvenates, and energizes scalp and strands. Plus, you hair will smell like high-end perfume.

MAC Cosmetics Trend Forecast Palette For Spring 2018

MAC Cosmetics Trend Forecast Palette For Spring 2018

Every fashion week, MAC Cosmetics launches what the brand calls a "Trend Forecast Palette." It consists of six cream-based colors they anticipate will be used heavily in the season. At Carolina Herrera, makeup artists used the Spring 2018 Palette ($40) to create a naturally flushed cheek and eye.

This Spring 2018 limited-edition palette consists of mint green (Minty Fresh), a soft yellow (Zest is Best), metallic silver (Silverquick), brown (Asparagus Tip), salmon pink (Corally), and mauve (Crimson Spring). The colors are very buildable, and can be applied with your fingers strategically for a very natural finish.

"We're using two colors — Corally and Crimson Spring," explained key makeup artist, Diane Kendal, backstage. "We're basically dipping our middle finger into the colors, and sort of pushing it into the skin so the color looks like it's coming from within, as opposed to being applied like a powder blush. So there's more of an authenticity about it."

The palette is one you need to own if you're trend-forward or like to try unexpected colors.

Hot Tools Black Gold 1-1/4" Curling Iron​

Hot Tools Black Gold 1-1/4" Curling Iron​

There are a handful of products you get used to seeing backstage at NYFW, not limited to Bioderma's Water Cleanser, the Beauty Blender, and a host of Hot Tools styling products. This season for Prabal Gurung, Wella hairstylists used Hot Tools's recently launched Black Gold 1 1/4" Curling Iron ($68).

This product is one of several from Hot Tools's Black Gold Line, which features a higher heat setting than the existing line (this one heats up to 455 degrees versus 430 degrees). The new curling irons also boast titanium durability, as well as corrosion-resistance and frizz elimination thanks to the Micro-Shine finish that's applied to the wand.

Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara

Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara

It's not every day Maybelline debuts a new mascara, but when they do, it's an occasion worthy of celebration. Backstage at both Phillip Plein and Public School, makeup artists used a not-yet-launched mascara calling Total Temptation. The mascara is so new that Maybelline hasn't even released official images of it, yet! But you can see it worn on the model in this picture.

Total Temptation mascara is set to launch sometime in 2018, and promises to deliver gorgeous, thick, clump-free lashes with one swipe. Bonus: it contains coconut oil and smells amazing.

Maybelline Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick

Maybelline Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick

Nope, we're still not done talking about Maybelline! At Cushnie et Ochs, makeup artists combined two new shades of lipstick from Maybelline's Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick line, which launched earlier this year. The two new colors are Cruel Ruby, a rich reddish pink, and a paler pink lipstick that remains unnamed.

"I really love these two shades," Gato, Maybelline's lead makeup artist, told us backstage."They really match with every single girl. It really suits all different skin tones."

The Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipsticks were launched in early 2017, and these two new shades will be available sometime at the tail end of this year or early next.

The Powder Matte line is a complement to the brand's Creamy Matte Lipstick line. It creates more of a silky finish than the creamy version, builds up in intensity for a natural or super saturated look, and glides on smoothly while hydrating thanks to honey nectar.

R+Co Skyline Dry Shampoo Powder

R+Co Skyline Dry Shampoo Powder

If you think you've found your holy grail dry shampoo, you might want to give R+Co's new Skyline Dry Shampoo Powder ($36) a try first. It just launched this month, and was used backstage at Katie Gallagher and Anna Sui on models who needed a little pick-me-up.

Unlike your standard dry shampoo, Skyline is dispensed in a fine, powdery poof and instantly soaks up excess oil. It doesn't feel heavy, nor does it create that notoriously weird, dry shampoo texture. It's formulated with diatomaceous earth (a mineral compound) and jojoba seed oil to quickly and effectively soak up oil, create slight texture and grip, and nourish. The scent is really faint and earthy with notes of bergamot, wild fig, cedarwood, and vanilla.

Honest Beauty Younger + Clearer Toner and Everyday Moisturizer

Honest Beauty Younger + Clearer Toner and Everyday Moisturizer

We all know how important of a role skin plays no matter where you are — runway, photo shoot, or sitting in front of the window with the best selfie-light inside your home! For an ultra fresh face at Rebecca Minkoff, makeup artists used a couple just-launched products from Jessica Alba's Honest Beauty line before applying makeup. These included the Younger + Clearer Clarifying Toner ($15) and Even Brighter Everyday Moisturizer ($34).

The Younger + Clearer Clarifying Toner is a multi-tasking, three-in-one that cleanses, hydrates, and conditions the skin. It's formulated with witch hazel and a cornucopia of natural, skin-loving oils and extracts, including apple, camellia, and mushroom stem extracts, and bergamot and balsam oil. The Even Brighter Everyday Moisturizer packs the same level of natural goodness via radish seed, camellia, chamomile and lavandar oils, and licorice, marigold, rosehip and rosemary extracts.

NARS Orgasm Illuminating Loose Powder

NARS Orgasm Illuminating Loose Powder

NARS's cult favorite blush-meets-highlighter, Orgasm, has officially received a refresh for Spring 2018. In addition to being available in the original pressed powder version ($30) and the recently released liquid blush version ($30), Orgasm has now taken on loose powder form.

17
IMAXTREE | Matteo Valle

Models at Alexander Wang got to try out the new product, which will launch this coming Spring 2018. It was layered with NARS Luster Liquid Blush on cheeks to create a super natural flush. It was also applied to eyelids. In its new loose form, Orgasm is super versatile and can be used as a highlighter, blush, eye shadow, and can even be mixed with a little lip gloss should you desire.

Skyn Iceland Berry Lip Fix with Wintered Red Algae

Skyn Iceland Berry Lip Fix with Wintered Red Algae

Skyn Iceland just debuted its brand new Berry Lip Fix with Wintered Red Algae ($14) — just in time for NYFW. The lip fix was used backstage at Tome along with the brand's Arctic Hydration Rubberizing Masks ($30), which are also new.

IMAXTREE | Filippo Fior

The lip fix is applied to clean lips to soothe, condition, and intensely hydrate. The star ingredient is wintered algae, a mineral-rich conditioner the seriously softens and hydrates. It also contains shea butter, olive oil, and sweet almond oils to further regenerate and restore. Finally, the antioxidant-rich "Arctic Berry Complex" — which includes arctic cloudberry and cranberry seed oils — further moisturizes while protecting against free radicals.

Mehron L.I.P Color Cream in Noir

Mehron L.I.P Color Cream in Noir

Not every designer is bold enough to put black lips on a spring and summer runway, but Linder went for it this season via Mehron's L.I.P Color Cream in Noir. The lip cream, which launches in December, is highly pigmented for a non-streaky finish. Its also hydrating and soothing thanks to vitamin E and aloe. All of the above is hard to come by in a black lipstick, so get excited about this one!

Wendy Rose Gould

"This product is pretty stable and is easy to work with," Dick Page, the key makeup artist backstage, said. "If you want to make things last a little bit longer, apply lip balm and let it do its job for a good while before you put the lipstick on. Then blot it and apply the product."

A darker lip is more maintenance, Page noted, but added "it’s worth it" with a smile.

If you dare to do a black lip, we suggest applying Mehron's E.Y.E. Liner Pencil in black to add more weight to the corners and cupid's bow of your lips like makeup artists did backstage. You can also ever-so-slightly soften the edges with a brush.

Skin Inc. Optimizer Voyage Tri-Light

Skin Inc. Optimizer Voyage Tri-Light

Every once in a while you'll see a bizarre new product being used backstage. This season, one of those products was Skin Inc.'s Optimizer Voyage Tri-Light ($265), an LED device that launched just days before Fashion Week. The device, in conjunction with other products from the brand, was used to prep skin at Self Portrait.

The device uses a combination of low frequency stimulation and LED Chromotherapy (color therapy) to help brighten, revitalize, and soothe the skin for that "lit from within" visage. It also helps to keep skin clear and more evenly pigmented, and helps to contour the face and reduce bloating and puffiness due to water retention.

24
Fenty Beauty

Fenty Beauty

If there's one cosmetic brand that received more hype than others this fashion week, it has to be Rihanna's Fenty Beauty. Days before the Fenty x Puma show — where the products were used on all the models — Rihanna revealed the entire line to a very excited crowd.

Pictured here is the brand's Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in Sinamon ($25), which was used on models' eyelids (along with the shades Rum and Confetti). Makeup artists also used Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter ($34) and Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer ($18).

When creating the Fenty Beauty line, Rihanna's goal was to create a collection that was inclusive of all skin types and undertones. This is a promise that many beauty brands make, but Fenty has far exceeded the standard color range provided by most with 40 different shades of Soft Matte Longwear Foundation ($34 each), and 30 different shades of the Match Stix.

JINsoon Purple and Black Nail Polishes

JINsoon Purple and Black Nail Polishes

You can always count on JINsoon to deliver gorgeous nail art and fresh new colors, and the brand did just that for Tibi.

Two new, still unnamed colors were used to create an '80s street style mani, including a dusty purple that will launch in Spring 2018, and an inky black that will hit stores in Fall 2018. True to JINsoon quality, one or two coats of polish imparts a glossy, salon-quality manicure.
