Beauty Lessons We Learned From NYC

We bet you won't cop to how many strangers (or poles) you've walked into because you were too busy staring at your phone. We get it — those #fromwhereistand and surreal sunset pics don't double-tap themselves.

The women ahead made the sidewalk their runway with their forward-thinking beauty looks. Think: Unexpected pops of eyeliner, ombré lips, and ultra-defined brows.

So, watch where you're going next time! You just might spot something beautiful.
