NYLON’s 2016 Beauty Hit List Party Was, Well, Beautiful

A pretty celebration for pretty things

by nylon

Every year, we seek to bring you the best, prettiest, and downright awesome beauty products. And, every September issue, we deliver.

Yesterday, our fearless senior beauty editor, Jade Taylor, pulled out all the stops and created the dreamiest beauty hit list to date. (Have you picked up our latest issue? You know, the one with Winona Ryder on the cover?) It highlights everything from hair and face to perfume and nails. So when it came time to celebrate, we knew we had to go all out. Enter: Dream Midtown, where Glamsquad set up a braid bar, Starbucks provided much-needed Refreshers, and Kim Crawford Wines and SVEDKA kept the party going. DJ Yelda brought the whole thing together with her infectious, bone-rattling beats.

Relive the night in our exclusive gallery, ahead. Until next September!

Why hit the refresh button when you can drink a Starbucks one?
