New York Fashion Week is a bit edgier than the other three fashion capitals. When it comes to the runway shows and the collections presented through them all the way to street style. That also applies to beauty. Makeup artists and hairstylists produce everything from glamorous to grungy and sometimes even horror movie-appropriate looks. The best New York Fashion Week Fall 2025 beauty looks manage to complement the clothes while still making their own statement.

Take Sandy Liang, whose pastel-packed Fall 2025 offering is highlighted by frosted and pastel makeup. The black and white cat eyes courtesy of Kim Shui are perfectly paired with slightly undone, side-braided ponytails. The beauty look seamlessly ties into the designer's texture-heavy collection. Ashlyn embraces the whole fake sunburn trend, but it pulls it off with aplomb. It actually (almost) appears natural. Both Ulla Johnson and LaPointe treat models to more demure, more mindful feline flicks. In the case of the former, you definitely have to zoom in to even see the barely-there accents.

One of the most creative hairstyles of the week belongs to Fforme. Feathers decorate models' foreheads in shades similar to their own hair color. Models also boast feathered eyebrows for a cohesive feel. Although it's not exactly real world-friendly. If you're looking for some inspiration on a style you can actually rock IRL, look no further than Altuzarra. The twisted take on the classic low ponytail reads both put-together and effortless.

The sunburnt look is nothing new, but sometimes it can come across as a little gimmicky. Here, the look comes close to resembling an actual burn. It helps that it's punctuated by a soft pink lip.
