Blame our obsession with success, love of luxury goods or addiction to uppers, but a good night's rest is as foreign as a front lawn to a New Yorker. 14+ hour days are the norm, and a symphony of ConEd construction, police sirens and AC/radiator buzz helps soothe us to sleep.
So how do New York women "fake it"? With creativity and discretion, naturally.
Bright Eyes
Treat, camouflage and illuminate the under eye area with this tried & tested trinity:
Benefit Ooh La Lift
Contains raspberry extracts and light-reflecting pigments to instantly perk up tired eyes. Can be used on bare skin, or under makeup.
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage
A unique two-tone system that allows you to match your skin's depth of color and undertone, as well as custom-blend your own perfect shade.
YSL Touche Eclat
The award winning, must-have, take anywhere instant highlighter that
banishes shadows, erases signs of fatigue and leaves skin looking
radiant.
Luminous Complexion
Revive sullen skin, correct tone and conceal blemishes with these must-have multitaskers:
Chanel Base Lumiere
A fresh, oil-free gel primer that evens out and illuminates the complexion.
Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Foundation
Its unique, lightweight Micro-fil formulation allows infinite blending and layering to enhance the natural
glow of the skin.
La Mer The Treatment Powder Foundation SPF 15
Infused with gemstones that capture light to reveal a naturally flawless complexion, this luxurious powder is perfect for those who prefer a semi-matte/matte finish.
Philosophy The Supernatural Healthy Cream Blush
A super-blendable, creamy, natural mineral blush that moisturizes,
energizes and adds sheer, healthy color to cheeks for the most
natural-looking flush.
Smooth, Shiny Tresses
Pump up the volume, tame frizz and manage unruly hair with these latest innovations:
Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner
Whatever your hair type, this revolutionary duo of products is a must. Their key ingredient, PolyfluoroEster, creates an invisible shield on
the hair to lock in moisture-proof smoothness and repel dirt and oil,
so you can go longer between washes to break the frizz and damage cycle.
Oribe Smooth Style Serum
If you have thick/coarse tresses, opt for a moisturizing styling aid to smooth without stripping. This one, by celebrity stylist Oribe, is rich in exotic oils, which work to soften each strand and amplify shine.
Kerastase Noctogenist Voile Nuit
Fine, limp locks? Make the most of your "beauty sleep" with this innovative overnight treatment from Kerastase. It combines amino acids and a vitamin E derivative to effectively restore/renew, strengthen and protect.
