There's a lot to love about Fashion's Night Out this year. Come September 10, you'll spend hours hopping from store to store with champers flowing, tons o' celebs, and deals everywhere you look. And while there are some stops that are de rigueur (like our party at DvF, duh!), if you're a makeup junkie clear some space in your rigorous FNO schedule for some beauty-inspired soireés offering giveaway, hair treatments, and makeup prepping to the max. So, whether you're in midtown, downtown, or just making the rounds, these events will leave you looking beautiful.
Here's 7 parties to get the ultimate beauty fix come FNO:
1. L'Oreal—L'Oreal's Elnett Car will be cruising around Fashion Week and Lincoln Center from September 7-14 with the L'Oreal Paris Pro Team giving out free Elnett samples and touch-ups. On FNO, they'll be parked downtown near H&M in SoHo. To find the exact location, follow hair consultant Johnny Lavoy on Twitter (@JohnnyLavoy). He'll be tweeting the Elnett-mobile's whereabouts and, if you check in via FourSquare at the car, you can enter to win a year supply of the cult classic hairspray.
