Jason Wu Reveals New Beauty Line Additions at NYFW
Jason Wu is expanding his beauty repertoire! The designer’s Spring 2025 runway show at New York Fashion Week featured a distinctly modern collection punctuated with sheer textures, abstract prints, and a sharp palette of black, pale pink, and aubergine. However, it also featured new products from his affordable Jason Wu Beauty line. Due this fall, the collection’s cream bronzers and compact blushes made their runway debuts as well—spotlit through subtly glowing makeup that enhanced the wearer’s skin.
“We’ve got a quite strong highlight on the cheekbone, in the inner corners of the eyes just to add some shape, some dimension, a little sparkle, and then a little bit of blush for some warmth,” said makeup artist Mical Klip. “It’s really just about the skin being beautiful and not distracting from the picture at large. It’s about the girl having the confidence of not needing to do too much and just letting her beautiful skin speak for herself.”
