Backstage at Reem Acra was a hectic affair.  Staged in the Fifth Avenue showroom, there were models (along with the hair and makeup pros) strewn throughout the offices (one model was even getting her hair done next to the office copier.)

MAC Senior Artist Polly Osmond was on hand to create a gorgeous fresh face for the girls (Reem herself just asked that the girls look naturally beautiful) while the team at Bumble & Bumble pulled together a chic, red-carpet-ready side chignon.

CND's nail pros were also on hand for matching manicures and pedicures with a special nude polish created just for the presentation.

A strong trend for Fall seems to be a lighter look - lots of nude lips and more natural makeup.  Quite a departure from last year's smoky eye and red lip!
