Rachel Sin Spring 2013: backstage beauty

The perfect definition of Rachel Sin's Spring 2013 collection; clean, structural, and functional. No surprise, the Carleton University architecture grad Rachel Sin has combined her two passions into her self-titled fashion line. The makeup backstage also shared similar elements; clean graphic lines. The makeup and hair was inspired by the hit series Mad Men. Maybelline's lead makeup artist, Grace Lee, applies a retro winged eyeliner but with a modern take. The rest of the face is left nude, minimal and matte.
