Glamazons,
I get a lot of queries from you guys on social media about my beauty routine during New York Fashion Week, which is hilarious because I’ve never been much of a beauty girl. But since Fashion Week calls for glamour everyday (hello, selfies) and an arsenal of products that can make a girl look presentable after days without sleep, I’ve had to beef up my beauty routine.
Here are (most) of the beauty products I rely on to look presentable during New York Fashion Week:
EYES
As you guys know, since Diana Ross is my second Mom, I’m obsessed with full lashes! I love Tarte Lights, Camera, Flashes Statement Mascara and Maybelline Falsies Waterproof Mascara because they make my lashes look long and glamorous. I love the shape of my eyes so I try to accentuate that with liner on my eyelid. I use Maybelline Master Graphic Liquid Marker Eyeliner (and sometimes white liner (not pictured) on the bottom to make my eyes look bigger). For day, I put a bit of shimmer on my lids from the Urban Decay Naked Palette (not pictured). And since smoky eyes make my heart sing, I use MAC Cosmetics Mineralize Eyeshadow x4 in a Sprinkle of Blues for a smoldering grey or navy eye. And on days I don’t wear a bold lip, I remember to pack my glorious studded Vaseline Creme Brûlée Lip Balm.
LIPS
I tend to gravitate toward lip gloss during Fashion Week because it’s easy to reapply and it’s moisturizing (dry matte lips are not the move in cold February weather!). I’m partial to the Black Opal Color Splurge line because the color really pops and looks gorgeous on. CoverGirl Colorlicious gloss is also a fave. My go-to color for day is Christian Dior Addict lip gloss. And I always keep a Marc Jacobs Daisy rollerball in my bag to quickly apply in the morning and before evening events.
FACE/TEETH
OMG Fashion Week wreaks havoc on my skin (which is generally blemish-free the other 50 weeks of the year). I try every night to remove my makeup with Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover or Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes. La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Lift Cream is a must to make me look like I’m getting a full night’s sleep. I also love Olay Fresh Effects Hydrating Gel Moisturizer.
When the stress pimples inevitably come, I use Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment and Cover FX BB Gel Mattifying Anti-Blemish Treatment. The latter treats blemishes while providing light coverage and mattifying my skin (check out a video on how to apply it HERE). For my day-to-day beauty routine, I use Cover FX Total Cream Cover Foundation in N40, Lorac Tantalizer Baked Bronzer and NARS blush (all not pictured).
Whew, it takes a village! Shop all my faves here:
