New York's Coolest It Girls Come Together to Celebrate the Bustle Beauty Awards

Since last October, the Bustle team has been hard at work testing hundreds of beauty products—from hyped cosmetics to industry-changing skincare heroes. Following the launch of the highly anticipated 2024 Bustle Beauty Awards, we invited New York City's top beauty editors, it Girl influencers, celebrity-favorite makeup artists, and more to celebrate this year's cutting-edge products and brands IRL.

On March 27, Bustle Editor-in-Chief Charlotte Owen and Executive Beauty Director Faith Xu invited a select group of beauty trendsetters to New York hot spot Jean's on Lafayette to toast the winners of the Bustle Beauty Awards.

Guests enjoyed custom cocktails and snacks (including, of course, the famous Jean's burger) while enjoying floral arrangements by Dearest Rachel's Rachel Clark, while DJ Tia Mobley provided the ultimate cool-girl soundtrack. In the back corner, jewelry company Rellery dressed partygoers in exquisite gold permanent jewelry.

New York style trendsetters including Meredith Duxbury, Brooks Nader, Katie Jane Hughes, Charlotte Palermino, Dana Hasson, Arianna Margulis, Sofit Pavitt and more attended the event. In addition to Bustle's beauty team, editors from Elle, InStyle, Fortune, Byrdie, and more also came to show their support.

While Bustle has awarded the Beauty Awards Seal to over a hundred products, Bustle partnered with five select brands to showcase their award-winning products at the event: Glow Recipe Cloudberry Essence Toner, Therabody TheraFace LED Mask, Kosas Wet Stick Lip Shine , Kopari Rose Gold Body SPF 45, and Maker Lover. The five winners were on full display in the center of the dance floor for guests to spray on, try on and discover new favorites.

At the end of the night, guests left with a Free People Caravan canvas tote filled with more Bustle Beauty Award winners from Summer Fridays, Laneige, Dibs Beauty and more. Now, let’s take a look back at the celebrations.
