\n\tLife like this sure is sweet. <\/p>\n

\n\tOn a recent Friday evening, WWD toured three New York City neighborhoods \u2014 the West Village, Williamsburg and Astoria \u2014 capturing the beauty of the city\u2019s inhabitants as they basked not just in the glow of a post-NBA Championship <\/a>win, but a more literal golden hour, too. Of course, we stopped to ask their favorite beauty products and trends along the way.<\/p>\n

\t\tThe West Village, Manhattan<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

\n\tBestie duos and more than one off-duty model abounded in the West Village<\/a>, many of them sporting pinky-red blushed cheeks and exuding the air of a population that has long since accepted being stopped for man-on-the-street interviews in front of Bar Pisellino as an inevitability.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat is your skin care must-have?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have been using Tretinoin for the longest; I feel like regardless of if you\u2019re a girl, a dude, anyone \u2014 you need to use Tretinoin.\u201d <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"NaJeen<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat is your beauty routine?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy go-to beauty routine is simple. I love good skin, a dewy look, a little bit of blush, mascara, eyebrows and, of course, MAC Lip Liner in Chestnut.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tWilliamsburg, Brooklyn<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

\n\tPunk beauty was alive and well along the windy waterfront in Williamsburg, where residents of all ages sported cotton candy-colored hair, plum-stained lips and lively curls \u2014 not least of all while carrying a slice of Joe\u2019s Pizza.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Beauty<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat is your secret to the perfect wing?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPractice, since I was literally a pre-teen.\u201d \u2014 Sanyamit<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe both like drawing; she\u2019s an architect. And we\u2019re very particular about the precision.\u201d \u2014 Mahya<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Beauty<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tAlx (with no \u201ce,\u201d because she\u2019s \u201cexcellent without it\u201d), in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTess Mayer\/WWD<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat perfume are you wearing today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Mix:Bar] Vanilla Bourbon from Target. It\u2019s cutesy, nice and it goes with everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tAstoria, Queens<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

\n\tConsider Steinway Street the yellow-brick road of Astoria, where the wafting scent of Valentino\u2019s Born in Roma<\/a> (the real kind, and the dupes being peddled by roadside perfume sellers) will lead you \u2014 if not home \u2014 to girls\u2019 night out at the nearest hookah lounge. Count on polka-dotted manicures and wispy lashes to dominate the scene, too.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Liska,<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tSharon, Sarah, Julie and Liska in Astoria, Queens.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTess Mayer\/WWD<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat is your must-have beauty product?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJuliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume.\u201d \u2014 Sharon<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMine is a lippie. Make Up Forever Super Boost.\u201d \u2014 Sarah<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPatrick Ta blush.\u201d \u2014 Julie<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cValentino Born in Roma Intense, for sure.\u201d \u2014 Liska<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Danny<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tDanny and Adele in Astoria, Queens.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTess Mayer\/WWD<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat is one beauty trend you\u2019re not a fan of?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDon\u2019t hate me, but the one I don\u2019t like is bleached eyebrows. I don\u2019t get it. I can\u2019t get behind it.\u201d \u2014 Danny<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI want to try bleached brows so badly. For me, I\u2019m scared of needles, so [I\u2019m not a fan of] Botox. But besides that, I feel like I\u2019m down to try anything \u2014 even Botox.\u201d \u2014 Adele\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Life like this sure is sweet.
