A slew of new beauty stores are opening just in time for New York Fashion Week. Here are eight of the newest beauty shopping offerings to hit New York:
Atelier Beauté Chanel
Chanel’s beauty hub at 120.5 Wooster Street takes shoppers through the full beauty experience — face wash to fragrance. Customers are encouraged to build online profiles where they can store information about their preferences, likes, dislikes, shade matches, etc. The highlight is the fragrance room, which allows customers to blind test by fragrance family to find their perfect match without interference from marketing materials.
Blume
Blume, which makes skin-care and period products, has launched a self-care pop-up at 224 Mulberry Street that runs from Feb. 4 to 17. The space will have different activities on different days — skin care, bra fittings, makeup freebies and sex toys, included.
