We all know how fabulous the models looked onstage at the Harajuku Fashion Show last Saturday, but just how did they get all "kawaii'd' up? We took a sneak peek at the hair and make-up going on backstage before the show and here is what we found:
Wigs were a major element to the looks. This one was being brushed out by stylist Vlada Fomenko in preparation for the model. Those that weren't wearing wigs, had hair pulled back into elaborate French twists and piled-up curls.

Depending on the brand, the beauty look either featured heavily lined and shadowed eyes with soft cheeks and lips, or ultra glam eyelashes on an otherwise sweet feminine face.
