Tracy Reese has been owning the runways of New York Fashion Week with her colorful innovative designs. We got a chance to go behind the scenes as she prepared to show her Spring 2016 collection to get a sneek peek at the beauty look. Fall in love with this whimsical makeup and re-create it on yourself in 10 easy steps!

01
Step 1: Prep Skin

Start with a clean canvas. Remove all makeup and moisturize skin using Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream. Using your fingers massage into face in circular motions, drawing skin upwards; finish with applying to neck and décolletage.

Step 2: Exfoliate Lips

Smooth chapped lips using Mary Kay Satin Lips Lip Mask. Apply to your lips as you would a balm and leave the treatment on for five minutes while you tend the rest of the face.

Step 3: Brighten The Eyes

Add a little shimmer under the eyes by applying Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Rosegold to the base of the waterline with a small shadow brush.  Follow by layering Mary Kay At PLay Bold Fluid Liner in Gold Metal just under the lower lashline. Finish by smudging and blending the two colors together using a cotton swab.
