Fashion Show Beauty: The Must-Have Products for Global Travel
The Ultimate Fashion Month Beauty Essentials: Secrets from a Global Icon
When the fashion world throws its doors open for Fashion Month, the demand for flawless looks and refined experiences skyrockets. For those who live at the intersection of high fashion, beauty, and travel, the key isn’t just about the runway looks—it’s about curating a personal ritual. Stepping into the spotlight across global fashion weeks requires more than just designer outfits; it demands a beauty routine built on endurance, radiance, and travel-weary resilience.
Victoria Magrath, the esteemed editor-in-residence at Who What Wear UK and founder of byfrow Beauty, embodies this philosophy. With over twelve years of experience working with some of the world’s leading luxury brands, her expertise spans beauty, fashion, travel, and refined living. As a seasoned veteran of fashion week across New York, London, Milan, and Paris, Magrath knows that the beauty products you pack must work harder, standing up to the demands of constant travel and intense scrutiny.
To ensure skin stays luminous and hair remains resilient amidst the heat and movement of the season, Magrath has compiled her personal “holy-grail” list—the must-have products that anchor her fashion week essentials. These are the items that serve as perfect touch-ups, pre-event rituals, and travel-ready miracles.
For flawless base coverage, Magrath relies on products that deliver high performance without compromising comfort. At the top of her packing list is the Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Cream Foundation. Celebrated as a true base product unicorn, it offers long-lasting, full coverage, and SPF protection, creating a dewy base that looks magnificent under camera lights. It is the ultimate fashion week foundation.
To manage the needs of travel-weary skin, Magrath integrates multi-functional skincare and color. The byfrow Hue Glazing Balm SPF50 is a perfect example of this approach. This balm offers broad-spectrum protection while providing deep nourishment with shea butter, avocado oil, and aloe vera, making it ideal for between-show touch-ups. It acts as a lightweight, luminous wash of color, perfect for quick, radiant moments.
When scent becomes part of the memory of a trip, Magrath chooses fragrances that evoke the experience. She favors Aerin’s Amber Musk Pistache Eau de Parfum, a unique blend of warm amber, vanilla, cream, and pistachio. This gourmand, elegant scent captures the feeling of a Parisian afternoon, offering a warm and sophisticated atmosphere for any event.
Maintaining hair health is equally crucial during high-heat styling. Recognizing the toll fashion week styling takes, Magrath prioritizes intense hydration with the No.98 Hydra Bond Hydrating Masque. This mask restores elasticity and adds essential hydration, ensuring hair remains soft and manageable, even after rigorous heat styling and finishing products.
Finally, for those critical on-the-go touch-ups, Magrath relies on products that blur and smooth. The Vieve Skin Nova Concealer is a favorite, offering buildable coverage that smooths and blurs the skin beautifully, ensuring a fresh and luminous finish from the front row to the evening event.
Even the tools of the trade must travel seamlessly. Magrath never travels without her trusted Dyson Corrale CoolShine Hair Straightener. This next-generation tool utilizes flex plate technology to deliver gentle, snag-free styling with a removable cooling attachment. It is the perfect travel essential, ensuring that even complex ‘Victoria waves’ are achieved with minimal heat damage and universal voltage.
