Allure editor in chief Jessica Cruel<\/a> kicked things off with one of the day\u2019s first Insider Sessions, \u201cComplexion Tailoring with Rose and Ben Beauty,\u201d hosted by brand co-founder (and 2026 Allure Readers\u2019 Choice Top Beauty Creator<\/a>) Rose Siard in the intimate, burgundy-draped Salon space. \u201cIt does feel a little strange to be out of my dark room where I normally film,\u201d Siard said with a smile before she began demystifying the ROY G. BIV world of color correction.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, around the corner in the Gallery\u2014the larger of the two educational spaces\u2014the day began with \u201cMeet Your Milky Hydration Match,\u201d where Laneige\u2019s Robby Ramsarran dove into the brand\u2019s hydration-focused offerings. Several of that session\u2019s guests kept their Laneige<\/a> eye masks on throughout the day like a Best of Beauty Live badge of honor, and toward the end of the event, a young attendee I struck up a conversation with cited the class as among her personal favorites given their kaleidoscopic offerings: \u201cThey had a new lip mask where you can swirl the colors,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Indeed, K-Beauty\u2019s presence was strongly seen\u2014and felt, in all its glorious textures\u2014throughout the event. Beauty of Joseon\u2019s<\/a> activation included shade matching for the brand\u2019s Tinted Mineral Dayscreen and giveaways of the Best of Beauty-winning Ginseng Cleansing Oil, while catty-corner at Amazon\u2019s<\/a> K-Beauty Experience, guests explored trending products and picked up pro tips from experts, including editors from Allure Korea. (The aforementioned young attendee also named this booth\u2019s skin analysis one of her highlights.)<\/p>\n

Right beside the K-Beauty Experience stood Amazon\u2019s Beauty Atelier, where makeup artists painted lids with chrome sparkles or soft cat eyes; created smooth, airbrushed bases; or glossed up \u201cshellac\u201d pouts; each look utilizing multiple Best of Beauty winners. Lips and eyes were also adorned at the L\u2019Oreal Paris<\/a> booth, where guests received touch-ups before hitting the adjacent Allure Red Carpet. There, they took professional snaps and selfies with the squad.<\/p>\n

In rooms elegantly concealed by draped beige gauze, attendees received consultations for\u2014and, if they qualified, treatments of\u2014Botox or Juv\u00e9derm lip filler<\/a>, courtesy of SkinSpirit providers. (Many attendees, a brand rep shared, left the event with their first-ever neuromodulator.) Next door, DiamondGlow provided on-site microdermabrasion treatments on the back of guests\u2019 hands. \u201cBitch!\u201d one attendee exclaimed thrice to a pal filming the treatment, impressed by the change in texture; \u201cNow you have to pay for the other hand,\u201d the friend quipped. At Alle\u2019s claw machine, folks took turns trying their luck at grabbing boxes containing reward codes. In classic claw-machine fashion, success rates varied (a cowbell clang throughout the room anytime someone proved successful), but players were pleased to learn they\u2019d be taking home goodies regardless of how deft they were with the joystick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Allure editor in chief Jessica Cruel kicked things off with one of the day\u2019s first Insider Sessions, \u201cComplexion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[138737,138739,138738,138736,75,84,83,9,24,63,8357,990],"class_list":["post-377203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-_freelance","tag-_jamesmanso_ed","tag-_sophiapanych_ed","tag-best-of-beauty-2026","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-textaboveleftsmall","tag-web"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
