Every season, I leave New York Fashion Week with a handful of trends I can’t wait to try and a few beauty hacks that immediately become part of my daily routine. This year, the runway moment that stuck with me happened at Kallmeyer (a if-you-know-you-know brand redefining NYFW). As models strutted down the runway in an ensemble of pieces that subtly commanded attention, I noticed that every inch of exposed skin caught the light. It was polished, not glittery—like the models had just returned from vacation. Turns out Saie’s makeup team, led by James Boehmer, massaged Glowy Super Gel into the arms and décolletage before the show started.
I’ve loved Glowy Super Gel for years, but I’d only ever used it sparingly on my face to make no-makeup days feel a bit more polished. Every time I wear it, someone asks, “What’s your skin care routine?” I always give all credit to the illuminator for blurring my hyperpigmentation and giving me that lit-from-within glow, but I had never thought to rub it onto other parts of my body like a lotion.
Well, now that I know it was the secret behind the head-to-toe glow at New York Fashion Week, I’m keeping an extra bottle on standby. A few pumps on collarbones, shoulders, or legs instantly make me look like I spent the afternoon lounging on a chic rooftop rather than hunched over my laptop in an office. Whether you’re headed to dinner or want to feel a little extra radiant, consider this your sign to add to cart.
