Mackage was the second presentation I photographed during Fashion Week and the packed room of fans and media loved the collection from beginning to end as the models rotated between the three stages.

One other side benefit of a presentation over a runway show is it allows the designer the opportunity to serve Champagne as was the case with Mackage.

Towards the end of  my time at the presentation I had the pleasure to meet Miyako, the Shiseido makeup artist for the collection, and Shiseido Beauty Solution Development Center manager Junko Kurosaka from Tokyo.
