"    Today I was a bit lazy \u2013 lazy being a relative term, of course. I actually got to sleep in a little, which was nice since the rest of the week has been go go go!  Since I got a late start, my first show was in the afternoon: Development by Erica Davies. The horizontal swipe of black liquid eyeliner under the eye here reminded me of what was done at Max Azria. Everything else was kept pretty natural \u2013 a matte nude lip, minimal blush, and a little bit of shiny gray eyeshadow on the lid. I love this emerging trend of placing emphasis under the eye \u2013 it&amp;#039;s very edgy and I might have to try it out one night myself! It seems easy enough to imitate, as long as I have steady hands!  One of my favorite parts of getting to go backstage is the before and after effect. Models come in from their previous shows, in all different states of makeup and hair; some curly, some straight, some with orange eyeshadow, some with no makeup on at all. The makeup artists and hairstylists have to take the chaos and meld it into one fluid theme, so that each model has a similar look, but not the same look. I had fun watching the before and after effect at Tuleh, where models ran around with big rollers pinned all over their head (left) while they got their makeup and nails done, chatted with interviewers, and tried on their dresses for any last-minute adjustments. I disappeared from backstage and went to take my seat, and when they appeared on the runway, there was a total &amp;quot;Voila!&amp;quot; moment. The magic had been worked. Big hair appeared where the rollers had been, giving the girls the look of a sixties Italian diva (right). Their skin was dewy, shimmery, and enviable. Now if only I could wave a magic wand and have the same effect happen to me... Other notes from the fashion homefront:   At Verrier (left), the slightly mussed buns and winged liquid eyeliner make another appearance, but this time with a new addition: a thin headband, wrapped around twice! As for Pamella Roland (right), it was all about the stick-straight hair, choppy extensions, pink lipgloss, and a solid line of black right at the lashline. Okay, I think that about covers it for the day, so I&amp;#039;m turning in. Sweet dreams! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
