We’re all looking for bright spots where we can find them. New York Fashion Week supplied more than a few with an overarching spirit of levity and hopefulness as we enter yet another phase of the pandemic at the two-year mark. And since beauty is a reliable outlet for self-expression (and let’s be real: some catharsis, too), it’s all the more exciting to soak up the inspiring trends we can start embracing now. From glassy skin to unexpected doses of color, here are the eight trends that have emerged throughout New York Fashion Week.

At Altuzarra, makeup artist Dick Page brushed on “melted,...

If you’re watching Euphoria season two for another round of envelope-pushing makeup looks, you’ll have to look a little closer this time. The mind behind the HBO show’s headline-worthy makeup, Doniella Davy, told Us Weekly that this season, she’s describing the looks as “discoverable” as opposed to in-your-face. “It’s not a repeat of season one,” she said, but instead “more refined and more subtle.” In fact, on Instagram, she referred to the season two makeup looks as “season one’s more introverted sister.” Of course, that doesn’t mean the show will be without its iconic glitter and eye liner. “There’s a steady ‘quiet’ to her, until she’s suddenly loud,” Davy said of the makeup. “She has her full glam moments but then switches to super minimalism.” For the most...

This season, Collina Strada showcased its fall 2022 collection with a digital presentation, inviting the fashion set to experience its version of The Hills, entitled The Collinas (which actually translates to “the hills” in Italian). In the spoof, actor Tommy Dorfman makes her fashion week debut playing a twenty-something moving to New York City for a fashion internship at Collina Strada alongside other stars like Chloe Wise and Aaron Rose Philip. While she's rather clueless on how to actually do her job properly, she’s lovable with great taste—an aspect her peers can’t get enough of. “I love her look though,” gossips one of the characters. “I’m obsessed,” says another.

If there’s one thing that’s certain in the world of beauty right now, it’s that when Euphoria is airing, we are in a moment of peak makeup maximalism. For beauty junkies, this means more of everything (and a fun excuse to try out more experimental looks). For makeup novices, it piques interest about how to get in on the trends. Luckily, there are easy (an inexpensive) ways to get into the mix. Enter, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Cookie’s ‘N Dreams Eyeshadow Palette, which has just about every shade you need to try out the season’s top creative trends. Blue eye makeup of every shade, texture, and shape, seems to be the color of Euphoria Season 2, with all of the girlies in a version of blue at one time...

For makeup artist Pat McGrath’s first collaboration with Shayne Oliver, the creative visionaries joined forces to make a dream of “human bouquets” come to life at The Shed’s Griffin Theater. Oliver, who captured the world’s attention as Hood by Air’s creative director, managed to reimagine the fall 2022 show format for the debut of his namesake brand, Shayne Oliver. In New York’s Hudson Yards, Oliver’s creative studio, Anonymous Club, set up three nights of music, fashion, and art under the banner “Headless: The Demonstration.” Photographed by Hunter Abrams “Shayne is an incredibly innovative and collaborative thinker,” McGrath told Vogue of their shared creative process. “His references were a mix of nature, decay, and decadence.” The pair sent images and videos back and forth while...

From smokey eyes to face gems to 2000s-era lined lips, there’s no denying that 2021 has been the year of makeup maximalism. Y2K beauty is back in a big way (hello super blushed cheeks and bright colored eyeliner), beauty has expanded into new frontiers (hello male celebrity nail polish brands and guyliner), and we’ve witnessed the post-pandemic return of red lipstick (despite continuing to wear masks). Next year, makeup maximalism and experimentation are set to remain in full swing, and we’re very here for it. Your New Year’s eve look will be your last one for 2021 and the first for 2022, so needless to say you want to feel like your best self. Whether that means bare skin or a full face...

With only a couple of weeks left until 2022, there’s no time to waste in picking out the perfect New Year’s nails to complete your look. Think of them as the cherry decal on top of a festive evening, whether it is spent dining outdoors or cozy with family at home. The power of a fresh coat of polish can’t be underestimated, and this year we explored the ever-evolving world of nails. While seasonal trends kept our routine manis looking fresh (muted metallic and crystal accents are currently poised to take over the winter), we also got to know the artists taking the craft to the next level. If the past 12 months have taught us anything, it’s that nails are an easy way...
