Click through for a thorough review of the best concealers out there. Because fashion month is here, and you know you're going to need 'em.

As much as I love the idea of going makeup free at the beach, I always seem to find myself scrambling for some mascara at the last second and end up being that annoying girl who won't get her face wet in the water. It's pretty much THE WORST.

There's a lot to love about summer--longer days, warmer weather, weekend getaways--but there's a lot to loathe too.

It's much easier than you think.

Schedules are finalized, batteries are charged, shoes are chosen. And having a few key beauty items to face the week of chaos is just as important as having my Macbook charger in tow. Faced with crappy weather, a frenzied schedule of shows, and the pressure of day-to-night dressing, you have to be prepared for all eventualities. And really, isn’t this true of anyone’s life? There are tons of new and classic products that are perfect: Hair: Sleek or tousled? If the latter, you must try Bumble and Bumble’s new Texture Hair (Un)Dressing Creme. Run it through damp hair and dry with a diffuser for volume and a perfect messy look. I’ve used it on my hair dry, too. It adds a little weight and texture when things are getting flyaway. Prefer sleek? Aveda’s classic Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss with rice bran oil provides a ton of shine and the smell is really calming. And I’m giving Leah a can of Meta Revive Dry Shampoo from celeb hairdresser Serge Normant’s posh new line. Because who has time to wash their hair during Fashion Week?
