Makeup Artists Have Asked Me for This—Here's Every NYFW Beauty Look You'll Want to Save Down

As a beauty director, February is, hands down, my busiest month of the year. I spend what feels like every waking minute flitting between red carpets and runways. When I'm not out and about, I'm tied to my laptop analysing all of the biggest beauty trends of the upcoming season. And now that Fashion Month is well under way (with New York Fashion Week drawing to a close in recent days), I've been doing a lot of scrolling.

I use all of the information I absorb from experts over fashion month as a means to inform my trend predictions for the season ahead. However, unlike the heaps of makeup trend, hair trend and nail trend inspiration we're flooded with on social media, fashion month beauty looks from the runway have not, historically, proved particularly wearable.

But, over the past couple of seasons I have noticed a change in the air. Several world renowned makeup artists and hair stylists who I work with day in and day out have mentioned to me that they have been finding their best inspiration and ideas are coming from the runway. In one conversation, a makeup artist (who I will save naming) berated me for neglecting runway beauty looks. "Why don't you do those Fashion Month beauty galleries like you used to?! I want to see all of the best looks in one place—like the ultimate inspiration Bible for the season," she animatedly yelled at me across a studio.

And one glance at the Autumn/Winter 2025 beauty looks that have already hit the runways in New York this Fashion Month proves that she is right—runway beauty has turned more wearable. In fact, the beauty looks are so good that my Saved folder is overflowing. So, here it goes: the best and most beautiful Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2025 beauty looks you'll want to save for inspiration.

NEW YORK

Christopher John Rogers: The Shag

A shag haircut with bangs is a major 2025 mood, and this one at Christopher John Rogers has a super-chopped, lived-in look that is sitting front and centre on my hair trend vision board.

Ulla Johnson: Subtle Statement Liner

Gone are the days of statement eye liner meaning big and bold, this subtle wing on a fresh face is delightfully pretty. Oh, and it's the perfect makeup look for hooded eyes.

Prabal Gurung: Dewy Skin

Okay, I'll admit that dewy skin is never not in, but I really love the way this glow is all-over, rather than strategically limited to the high points only.
