Backstage at New York Fashion Week, 13 Cool Girls Reveal Their Go-To Beauty Products
Lip gloss as eyeshadow, cocoa butter body oil and a deep moisturizer all made the cut.
New York-based labels VFILES and Gypsy Sport have a tradition of casting untraditional models. This season was no exception: both brands recruited a select group of friends, musicians, downtown cool kids and even Olympic athletes (the fencer Miles Chamley-Watson caused a stir at VFILES) to appear in their shows.
Here, thirteen of the naturally stylish women who made the cut reveal their favorite beauty products.
