New York Fashion Week is, without a doubt, a pivotal moment for the fashion industry as it showcases the upcoming collections from top designers and forecasts the trends to come, but one step backstage and it becomes crystal clear that the beauty is just as important as the style.
Our editors had the privilege to go backstage for some of NYFW’s biggest shows and were blown away by the boundary-pushing makeup creations that the industry’s lead artists brought to life. As expected, NYFW Spring/Summer 2020 delivered tons of pastel and floral-inspired looks, but also iterated that a no-makeup makeup glam can generate the same impact as a full-face look.
Keep scrolling to relive some of our favorite NYFW beauty moments, see the trends, and shop the products that the makeup artists used on the models:

Trend 1: But First, Skincare
The models at the Studio 189 SS20 show put their best face forward thanks to Estée Lauder. “The message this season is really around individuality – natural with a bit of a twist – bringing out the beauty of each person," Abrima Erwiah, co-founder of Studio 189, says. Their dewy complexions were done using products like the Revitalizing Supreme+ Global Anti-Aging Cell Power Creme and Revitalizing Supreme+ Global Anti-Aging Wake Up Balm.

Trend 2: Pastel Eyes
"The collection was inspired by rich Bohemia, so I added a pop of pastel to the eyes," Erin Parsons, Maybelline New York's global makeup artist, said of the look. She played off the sorbet-colored sets at Alice + Olivia's Spring/Summer 2020 show using Maybelline's Eyestudio ColorTattoo Metal 24HR Cream Gel Eyeshadow.
Westman Atelier
Trend 3: Sunkissed Bronzer
“I love to layer bronzer and highlighter together to create a natural, lived-in look – playing with shadow & light to create depth & definition. It’s all about enhancing your natural features, rather than covering them, that’s what the Brock girl is all about," Gucci Westman says of the "romantic-yet-undone" beauty look she created using Westman Atelier's Super Loaded Peau De Soleil.
CND
Trend 4: 4-D Stiletto Nails
CND design lab artist Tracey Lee created the ultimate slim and sleek shape for The Blonds SS20 Moulin Rouge-inspired show. Each nail look, which was painted with CND's Vinylux polishes, paid homage to the most iconic Moulin Rouge scenes and characters and, just like The Blonds collection designs, invited your imagination to run wild.
