Channeling New Orleans in New York’s Grand Central Oyster Bar, Kate Spade’s beauty look called for a fresh and warm flush that’s easier said than done. Before applying any other product, makeup artist Romy Soleimani of Streeters primed every face with MAC’s Care Blends Essential Oils (in lieu of a traditional moisturizer) to set a smooth base for foundation and blush. Big Easy, indeed.

To initiate the color-shy, look no further than Tom Pecheux‘s subtle flicks fluttering out from the eyelids at Oscar de la Renta. Pecheux’s gestures looked almost as if they had been colored on with oil pastels rather than MAC Chromacake. (Bella Hadid got to choose whatever color she wanted. She picked periwinkle.)

The KITH Sport collection revolved around athleticism, so Streeters makeup artist Erin Parsons leaned on earth tones to create a post-soccer glow. After setting the scene with a “beefy” brow and nods to the 90s supermodel archetype, Parsons walked me through her dual bronzer and highlighter application:

“We took the bronzer, started at the apples of the cheeks and swept it downward. And then a little on the temples, a little up on the forehead, dust on the nose and the chin, just the places the sun would hit.” For a little faux sweat, add highlighter into the mix with something like the Master Strobing Stick on the eyelids, the brow bone, the cheek bones and maybe the collarbone too if you’re going the extra mile. That’s all it takes to look like Mia Hamm after warmups, faster than you can say “shin guard.”

Gen Z yellow may be the chromatic heroine of this fashion week, but the Delpozo show made a case for looking like a tall glass of Tang with shades of cantaloupe and clementine around the eyes, achieved with orange eyeliner and matching glitter that ascends all the way to the browbone.

While scrunchies stole the show at the nape of Mansur Gavriel necks, Bumble & Bumble’s Laurent Philippon’s approach to prepping the hair was key, first spritzing it with Bumble & Bumble Prep Spray and then allowing the models’ hair to air-dry for texture before loosely taming a sophisticated ponytail with MG’s newest accessory.
