Style star Olivia Palermo debuts an impeccable chic beauty wardrobe that can take you from day to night.
For Olivia Palermo, her creative and sartorial spark ignited at an early age. “With my aunt being the head of the couture department and costume jewelry at Doyle’s and my mother being an interior designer, a lot of afternoons were spent on the hunt for beautiful objects, fashion included,” she says. “I think it was the exposure to vintage and antiquities that formed my appreciation for craftsmanship.”

Fast-forward several decades, 6.7 million Instagram followers and gazillions of street-style posts later, and her eponymous ready-to-wear and a new beauty collection have arrived in splendid style. The Olivia Palermo Collection boasts her signature style full of feminine flourishes. Now, the Manhattan maven has unveiled a beauty wardrobe centered around the same easy elegance of ready-to-wear. Her “Pret-a-Beauté” approach offers a toolkit to match any mood or look.

Standouts include a variety of matte lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes—plus foundation layers like a Prime Time illuminating serum and Pre-Show mattifying mist. “Leading such a busy lifestyle, I believe this is one of the most fantastic and important products out there. I know how vital it is to make a look last for hours, and this mattifying mist keeps my look fresh practically all day. And when you need a quick break from daily stressors, a quick spritz is a welcomed refresh.”

The serum is another foundational layer Palermo says that always has her camera ready. “It’s great to find a product where you can actually see a difference—it really works,” she shares. “The Prime Time serum is a daily essential for me as it locks down positioning for makeup application and, regardless if I am applying makeup that day, corrects my skin tone.” Lipsticks and eyeshadows allow moments to match your mood. “Having spent so much time in the makeup chair over the years, I have tried countless lipsticks and am always searching for the perfect shades with staying power to match,” she says.
A refreshing facial mist boasts Enantia chlorantha bark extract, a complexion- mattifying ingredient that helps to balance combination and oily skin.
The New York native hopes to capture the same spirit of self-expression for which she is so celebrated. “I want to empower women to be the best versions of themselves.”
