Fashion Week Backstage: The Tools That Keep You Moving

Backstage at Fashion Week has always been intense.

It’s fast, unpredictable, and you’re constantly working under pressure.

I’ve been working shows since the early 2000s, and I’ve learned what it takes to make a show run smoothly. When you’re part of a backstage team, organisation matters. Preparation matters. The tools you carry matter.

Now, as a key makeup artist, I want my kit to support the work not slow it down.

That’s exactly where the MYNETICS™ ‘ON HAND’ KIT began.

Built for Real Backstage Work

Backstage isn’t a controlled environment. You’re moving between models, adjusting looks, grabbing products quickly, and working without much space.

For years, that’s meant holding too much in your hands: brushes, creams, liners, pigments whatever you need in the moment.

Makeup ends up on the back of your hand. Products end up everywhere. It’s messy, and it’s not efficient.

I wanted something better.

Tested in Paris Couture

This season, I used the MYNETICS™ ‘ON HAND’ KIT backstage in Paris as the lead makeup artist for the Tamara Ralph Couture Show.

The hand palette genuinely made a difference.

It allowed me to keep my key products and brushes with me at all times, without juggling multiple items or creating unnecessary mess. Everything stayed in place, and I could stay focused on the work.

It replaced the old backstage reality of cluttered hands and constant scrambling.

An Idea Two Years in the Making

This is a tool I first realised I needed two Fashion Week seasons ago.

Backstage, you notice quickly what’s missing and what could be improved.

It’s taken two years to develop and launch, but the goal has stayed the same:

To create something practical, reliable, and designed for how artists actually work.

The MYNETICS™ ‘ON HAND’ KIT is an ergonomic brushed steel hand palette designed for professional use, built as part of the MYNETICS system.

It features:

• A magnetic surface to securely hold MYNETICS™ POTS and tools
• A removable silicone brush holder, which doubles as a cleaning mitt
• A magnetic handle for grip, balance, and control
• A silicone dock so it can stand upright at your station

It’s designed to move with you from station to set to backstage.

Designed From Experience

Developed from years of hands-on work, the MYNETICS™ ‘ON HAND’ KIT was created to solve everyday backstage challenges.

I designed it for artists who need organisation, speed, and structure in environments that rarely offer any of those things.

Every detail comes from real workflow.

Expanding the MYNETICS System

The ‘ON HAND’ KIT expands the MYNETICS collection, giving artists more ways to customise their magnetic setup and keep essential products close, wherever they’re working.

Important Notes

• MYNETICS™ ‘ON HAND’ KIT does not include MYNETICS POTS. POTS are sold separately.

• Do not use products containing alcohol on your MYNETICS POT.
