Beauty

the best beauty moments of nyfw street style

so much inspiration

Unless you're a model, maintaining perfect hair and makeup during Fashion Week isn't easy. Between the schlepping back and forth across town, the unpredictable weather, and the wind tunnels, it's a wonder anyone rolls up to a show looking camera-ready. That doesn't mean it's impossible—in fact, this week we spotted a ton of women with beauty looks that were not just flawlessly executed, but also creative and inspiring.

So, click through to have your mind blown by the bluest hair, the darkest lipstick, and the strongest brow game from this year's NYFW street-style stars.
