Sometimes the streets of Manhattan can feel like the wild, wild West. Think you have what it takes to make it? Wendy, Victory, and Nico have prevailed—in their careers and with their personal style. If you lived in the Big Apple, which gal’s look would work best for you?

Wendy Healy
The Bohemian Power Player


Between juggling two kids, a hot husband, and a demanding high-powered position as a movie executive, she doesn’t have much time to worry about makeup. If you’re an on-the-go type of gal, keep your beauty routine simple so that time won’t be an issue.
 


Try a 2-in-1 cleanser, like Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing Beauty Oil ($32). Perfect for all skin types (even oily!), it doubles as a cleanser–makeup remover, and it delivers antioxidants to combat signs of stress and aging.



For seamless-looking skin, use a foundation that goes on so light, you’ll totally forget it’s there. Our favorite is Maybelline Mineral Power Powder Foundation ($5). It gives full, buildable coverage that’s luminous and natural-looking.

Victory Ford
The Edgy Fashionista



Being in the business of fashion, she’s well aware that trends change every other minute. One look that’s always in style? Doll-baby glamour. If “innocent come-hither” is your look of choice, keep your focus on the eyes.
 


For a tried-and-true doe-eyed look, plump up the volume in your lashes with Maybelline Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara ($6). The amazing collagen formula and plus-size brush delivers larger-than-life lashes with just one coat.
 


Lightly line your lids with ck Calvin Klein Beauty Electric Edge Liquid Eyeliner Marker Pen ($16). The quick-drying felt-tip pen delivers a steady, smudge-proof line that’ll lend itself well to your newfound sultry stare.

Nico Reilly
The Media Maven



As the saucy editor in chief of Bonfire Magazine, her look is always sensible and sophisticated, polished and pretty, even though she doubles as the ultimate seductress. Oh well. Beauty is a girl’s best friend. Besides, a little extra makeup never hurt anyone.


 
Sweetly smolder with a bronzy gaze. Bare Escentuals Wearable Eye Kit in Meet the Browns ($32) helps you build a flawless neutral smoky eye—it even comes with instructions.
 


Nothing says “I’m perfectly fine, but secretly I’m really tired” better than a rich, rosy glow. Give yourself a royal flush with Stila Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain ($24). Just slick it across your pout and the apples of your cheeks for a healthy blushing appearance.
