The city that never sleeps was bustling a little extra during New York Fashion Week — and so were our editors.
In the the midst of bringing readers the scoop on the biggest celebrity sightings, “It”-girl hot spots and emerging trends, we’ve been relying on our own style and beauty essentials to stay runway show-ready (and to beat blisters, dark circles and other fashion faux pas).
With another season of NYC shows now in the books, read on for all of our tried-and-true staples for fashion week — and every week, at that.
MAC Frost Lipstick in Gel
MAC“Of all the beauty products I’ve tried, MAC’s Frost lipstick is one I’d truly feel lost without. There’s truly nothing else like it, and I’ve purchased countless tubes over the years. Multiple strangers complimented it at NYFW this year. (I promise the sparkle is more subtle than it looks.)” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Associate Commerce Editor
Victoria Beckham FeatherFix Brow Gel
Victoria Beckham“I just recently tried the Victoria Beckham eyebrow gel — and not only is it my perfect shade, but it was also my lifesaver for my sweaty commutes between shows. It sealed my eyebrows in and they did not move. It was incredible to see my brows look the exact same at the end of a long night of wear. It’s also the perfect small size to drop in my bag for any touch-ups if needed.” — Michelle Moezam, Page Six Senior Commerce Social Media Marketing Manager
Pat McGrath Labs LiquiLust: Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick
Sephora“I’m talking nonstop during fashion week — catching up with industry friends, chatting with PR pals, interviewing celebrities and the like — which means I need my lipstick to work as hard as I do. In my experience, this is the best long-lasting (yet completely comfortable) matte on the market, and it’s become my go-to for busy days. My signature shade is Elson 4, but there are a handful of other beautiful options to choose from, too.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish
Essie“While salon gel manicures are pricey and difficult to remove, I also don’t want to have to redo my nails mid-week. Enter Essie’s at-home gel formula. I’m truly amazed that it’s lasted me over 10 days and counting, and I love knowing that I can remove it at home with regular nail polish remover. A win-win! (Not to mention, my fave mascot, Ellie the Elephant, just might be the cutest brand ambassador of all time.)” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Associate Commerce Editor
Promifun Gel Blister Bandages
Promifun“I love wearing my satin Simone Rocha platforms, but depending on the weather and how far I’m walking, I will eventually need a Band-Aid. I started wearing these under my socks as prevention and they work so well.” — Michelle Moezam, Page Six Senior Commerce Social Media Marketing Manager
Pureology Hydrate Glow Catcher Oil
Pureology“I’ll admit it: I was skeptical about hair oils. But after trying this Pureology formula, I’m a believer. From on-camera celebrity Zoom interviews to fashion shows, my hair has stayed silky soft and frizz-free for days. I’ve also noticed less tangling (and it typically only takes a slight breeze for my hair to get hopelessly tangled). Bonus points for the great fragrance.” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Associate Commerce Editor
Vivaia Maria Pointed-Toe Mary Jane Flats
Vivaia“Forget ‘Sex and the City’ towering heels — walking the streets of New York, especially running between shows, you need comfortable shoes. (But, of course, you want to be chic.) I found these pointed-toe Mary Janes from Vivaia that check all the boxes: They’re breathable, comfortable and pair with nearly any outfit, including satin skirts or even denim. The silhouette is more elegant than a square or almond toe, yet the breathable, recycled fabric keeps feet comfy.” — Erica Radol, Page Six Commerce Reporter
Band-Aid Flexible Fabric Adhesive Bandages
Band-Aid“For those times when shoes aren’t so comfy and you’ve got major ground to cover, it’s Band-Aids to the rescue. I am partial to the Flexible Fabric kind; in my experience, they stay on far better than the more cushioned variety, and are less irritating in between toes if you’re bandaging blisters on your feet. I actually buy them in bulk, because I also use them to cover up scratchy tags inside my clothes. As someone who’s super sensitive to seams and labels, they’re truly a lifesaver.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas
Tatcha “I’ve been using the Tatcha primer for years, and during New York Fashion Week, it kept my makeup smooth all day — no dryness or cakiness. I also swear by the cleansing balm. It makes removing makeup at the end of the day effortless. I no longer have to scrub off mascara — it just melts away thanks to the balm’s silky texture. — Rachel Meller, Virtual Reali-Tea Social Media Editor
Loeffler Randall Gia Boots
Loeffler Randall“I’m well aware this isn’t the first time I’ve gushed about these particular boots, but I just can’t stop singing their praises. I wore them on two different 10,000-plus-step days during NYFW, and they worked perfectly with my outfits and remained comfortable from morning ’til night. I really can’t recommend them enough.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
Koss Porta Pro Wireless 2.0 Headphones
Koss“My fatigue-free and gentle-on-hair headphones secret! I love these Koss wireless headphones for a non-bulky option for on the go. I take calls from these and can charge them from my phone. It’s amazing. The soft, cushy ear pieces also don’t smudge any makeup.” — Michelle Moezam, Page Six Senior Commerce Social Media Marketing Manager
The Beachwaver Co. B1 Rotating Curling Iron
The Beachwaver Co“I’ve been so obsessed with how my hair looks when I use the Beachwaver to curl it recently, and the curls stay for so long. During busy weeks like fashion week, it’s nice to get multiple days of a good wavy look!” — Brooke Matalon, Page Six Social Media Marketing Manager
Davek Mini Umbrella
Irvs Luggage“We were blessed with beautiful weather this NYFW, but that’s not always the case. When I’m running around to different events, I swear by Davek’s tiny but mighty umbrellas, which measure less than 7 inches when closed and can fit in most handbags. They’re absolutely worth the investment.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
