With its golden light and balmy temperatures, there s hardly a more cinematic backdrop for fashion girls than New York City in the fall. Just ask part-time Manhattanite Selena Gomez, whose flushed cheeks and slapdash topknot channeled all the fresh-faced charm of a Woody Allen muse.
The singer and actress, who is living in the West Village while filming Allen s untitled new project, was the picture of easy downtown cool with her hair pulled up and out of the way to reveal a five-minute makeup job of clean skin, a soft smudge of kohl, and healthy swirl of pink blush. It s a transitional riff on summer s beachy nudes, but instead of playing up her leftover summer bronze, Gomez got a head start on the windstung cheeks that come naturally once temperatures dip into sweater weather territory. The finishing touch? A matching lip stain that added just enough polish to take the look from easy off-duty upgrade to an office-friendly beauty strategy worth taking for a Monday morning test drive.
