#MetroBeautyWatch: New York Fashion Week Beauty Trends F/W 2021
Bring on the beauty inspo!
I'm sure you know the saying, "the show must go on." Such is the case for fashion week in New York City, where fashion designers and brands went on to show brand new collections despite the on-going pandemic. Mask or no mask, designers and their respective fashion houses opted to push forward and get inspired, letting the world know that indeed, life goes on—and fashion is here to stay!
In that spirit of celebrating fashion amidst uncertain times, some designers opted for socially-distanced in-person shows, while some opted for virtual look book presentations instead. Despite this being the second time in a row that fashion week has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, it's safe to say fashion month is in full-swing, and beauty inspiration abounds.
NYFW staples like Jason Wu and Prabal Gurung were just some of the designers that served some fresh beauty inspiration, and other newer names to know did just the same. From less is more, to full-on glam, to classic red lips, seeing makeup and hair trends straight from the runways always gets us excited for what's to come. We can't help but get inspired about the day we can head out with a full face of makeup on again with these trends that we saw! Join us in counting down the days?

Strong brows were the center of attention at Adeam, and nothing much else. A youthful vibe with glowing skin perfectly complemented the neutral-hued collection.

Proenza Schouler
Come as you are—as your naturally chic self that is. At Proenza Schouler, not much was going on in the beauty front, save for naturally curly hair and a lot of cool attitude.

Ulla Johnson
We're getting major girl boss vibes at Ulla Johnson, with a power mid-part and sexy lined eyes. Matte lips seem to have taken a back seat, with glossy lips making its presence felt this season.

Jonathan Simkhai
Bare is oftentimes better, and such is the case at Jonathan Simkhai F/W 2021. A beautiful clean face seems like the perfect canvas for a striking outfit. Skincare upgrade, anyone?

Victoria Beckham
We're seeing the eyeliner on the bottom part of the eye trend getting more and more apparent, and we must say, it adds a touch of effortless sexiness to any look.
