The Beauty of Spring 2026 NYFW

The runways in New York this season reminded me that beauty is about mood as much as it is about makeup. Designers sent models out with looks that felt fresh, daring, and often surprisingly wearable, the kind of inspiration you can bring straight into your own routine.

I saw plenty of naked faces, skin kept fresh with a natural glow that looked healthy and alive. Cheeks had that flushy, just back from a walk color, often in peachy or orange tones that felt warm and uplifting. Against that softness, some shows went the opposite way with dramatic eyeliner, sharp wings and bold shapes that gave a feline strength to otherwise minimal looks.

Lips had their own moment. Bold colors popped here and there, but what really stood out were the browns. From rich mocha to soft brownie nudes, these shades gave a confident and modern edge without overpowering the face.

And then there was the wet look. Dewy skin, glossy lids, and lips with a glassy shine created makeup that seemed alive under the lights and caught just enough reflection to feel new.

What I love about all this is how easy it is to try. A cream blush in a warm tone, a swipe of eyeliner a little bolder than usual, or a brown lipstick instead of your usual pink can bring a touch of runway into your everyday. If you are feeling adventurous, lean into gloss and glow and let your skin shine.
