Our Favorite Beauty Products Straight Off the Runway!
For menswear.
Backstage at fashion week is always crazy! You have what sounds like 100 hair dryers blowing at once, a million people running around and a dozen plus models rushing to get dressed. However, if you can handle the chaos, it’s also the best place to see next seasons best beauty looks and learn about the very best products available (or soon to be on the market)!
We’ve rounded up our favorite products straight from New York Fashion Week!
- Zoya’s Naked Manicure kit
We were introduced to this kit last season and we have to say it’s definitely a winner! The Naked Manicure is a collection of products designed to heal and improve your nails. Your nails will instantly appear less damaged and discolored. However, the real beauty of this product is that over time it improves the condition, strength and flexibility of the nails! Our favorite product in the kit has to the be Lavender Perfector, a corrective coat which neutralizes discoloration! (Think of it like concealer for your nails!) The Naked Manicure system was seen all over runways including the always gorgeous Marchesa show.
- MAC Trend Forecast Fall 16/LIP
Featuring 6 shades ranging from deep beige to magenta-raspberry, this palette features all of the newest hot colors for fall! The palette was used all over fashion week including the pink lips at Carmen Marc Valvo.
- Kevyn Aucoin Luminous Foundation (coming soon to beauty.com)
Who doesn’t want to glow from the inside (or at least look like they are?) This foundation gives a soft natural gleam while covering redness and does a great job evening out the skin, for a fresh faced look, such as the one at Kate Spade created by makeup artist Romy Soleimani.
- TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done hairspray
A touchable hold is important when it comes to hairspray. No one wants to spend time styling only to end up with crunchy hair. Orlando Pita, lead stylist at Herve Leger created a “Romantic Punk” look which featured braids and twists on one side and flowy soft waves on the other. The look was finished off with a few spritzes of Perfectly (un)Done to lock it in place.
- Maybelline’s The Colossal Spider Effect mascara
For strong (slightly clumpy) eyelashes like the ones seen at Jason Wu, you’ve got to try this mascara which will be launch June. The lead makeup artist Yadim was inspired by “beauty, disrupted” and applied the mascara only to the tips for spiky lashes.
- Kiss Gel Strong Nail Polish
Kiss Provides the vivid shine and wear of a salon gel manicure, but takes the potentially harmful UV/LED lamp out of the picture. Lead Artist, Gina Edwards created a glitter fade mani backstage at Carmen Marc Valvo which is sure to last all week long (that is if the models aren’t required to remove it for their next show!)
- Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray
When designing the perfectly un-perfect low tight knot, such as the ones at Marchesa, a little texture helps keep strands from falling flat. This spray is perfect to add a little oomph and volume into any hairstyle whether strutting on the runway or on the streets!
- Morgan Taylor Make It Last top coat
Designed to do exactly what the name says, make your manicure last. We learned about this top coat backstage at Monique Lhuillier and it really works. We think a bottle of this polish is worth adding to your arsenal, if you’re not a fan of chipped nails!
- Redken Quick Dry 18 Instant Finishing Spray
For polish and shine like the models at the Banana Republic presentation, this finishing spray is a must! It dries instantly and leaves the hair healthy and shiny! What more could you ask for?
Get Started On Your Cosmetology Career
For women's fashion.
If you’re looking for a fast paced, exciting, and lucrative career, it may be time to think about enrolling in a first class cosmetology school. If you’ve ever thought about being an esthetician, hair stylist, or barber, now is the time to get started on your schooling. It only takes a short while to become qualified for this exciting career, and it won’t break your budget.
Why Do You Need A Cosmetology Degree?
If you’ve ever wondered what a degree in cosmetology can do for you, just stop for a second to consider the matter. When you go to your favorite salon, do you imagine that the stylist who works on your hair simply showed up at the premises one day and asked for a job? Even if some extraordinary person did learn all their skills on the job, it’s unlikely that a complete stranger can suddenly become a high priced salon stylist.
Cosmetology Is A Permanent Industry
However, a very short time in a first class cosmetology academy will get you the degree you deserve, as well as the essential references that will help you score the job you’ve always wanted. With so much at stake, it’s no wonder that so many people are turning to special cosmetology academies to get the training and references they need to embark on a career field that shows no signs of slowing down or fading away.
If you want to get in on this high paying career field, it’s time to get in touch with an academy that can get you the schooling and certification that you need to present to your future employer. With your certificate in hand, it’s a cinch that you’ll soon be working in a stylish salon, or in the fashion industry.

Make Us Blush
For menswear.
Summer is a cornucopia of colorful clothing. You have your brights and graphic prints, your mints and baby blues, and ever classic whites. However, for a ladylike twist on your usual summer staples, might we suggest: blush.
This sweet pink feels fresh in modern shapes. Adore the vintage feel? We found several options with a nod to the decades past (without looking outdated).
BCBG MAXAZRIA Solace Ruffle Sleeve Dress in crepe and organza is great for a wedding or an office cocktail party. The light color makes it appropriate for daytime affairs, unlike your favorite LBD, which may sometimes feel a little too harsh.
Being chinos makes this light pastel Steven Alan pant feel especially chic for the guys. Keep it paired with a graphic white tee and some leather sneakers.
French Connection Marquee Parade Dress is another stunning example of how to elevate and make a statement in such a soft color. This dress is great for a daytime outdoor wedding. We especially love the cut-out details around the neckline which perfectly balance the geometric print at the hem.
All-over lace can look like something you might find in your grandmother’s closet but with long sleeves and a short hem, this Rachel Zoe Libby Lace dress is anything but passé. We recommend adding a denim jacket for a casual day in the country feel or a gold necklace and leather jacket to add a little edge.
A sweet top in blush feels ultra feminine. Tinley Road Erin Silk top is semi-sheer with a cute back keyhole cut-out and button closure. You’re sure to feel girly but still like a grown-up.
