Celebrity makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes, known for her work with Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber, brought her signature beauty expertise to NYC for the first-ever New York edition of Transitions® Color Club.

The colorful afternoon celebrated the intersection of beauty, eyewear, and self-expression, with Hughes sharing her expert tips for Fall/Winter styling and showing how glasses can be just as expressive as makeup.

Joined by Nina Estevez, Senior Trend & Foresight Manager at EssilorLuxottica, Hughes led a live makeup masterclass demonstrating three ways to pair makeup, frames, and Transitions® GEN S™ lens colors: tone-on-tone coordination, soft color blending, and bold color contrast.

Guests also explored a series of interactive experiences, including:

• Transitions Color Match Studio: Discovering their ideal lens colors and exploring the eight vibrant shades of Transitions GEN S lenses.
• Personalized Eyewear Styling: Experimenting with frame-and-lens combinations and customizing their own glasses cases.
• Transitions Magic Cabin: Experiencing firsthand how Transitions lenses adapt to changing light.

As an avid glasses wearer herself, Hughes highlighted how eyewear can become an extension of personal style, with endless possibilities for pairing makeup, frames, and lens colors.
