The Secret to a Flawless Makeup Base
Ashunta emphasizes that the key to long-lasting, luminous beauty starts with proper skin preparation. DefenAge products ensure that models’ skin is not only primed for makeup but also rejuvenated and glowing. With a strong, hydrated base, foundation applies seamlessly, minimizing the need for heavy coverage and allowing the skin’s natural radiance to shine through.
"DefenAge’s skincare technology does more than just prep the skin; it enhances the entire makeup application process. From hydrating lips to nourishing the body, DefenAge creates the perfect canvas for flawless beauty by blending innovation with elegance to meet the rigorous demands of fashion’s biggest stage, NYFW," - Ashunta said.


DefenAge’s Role in Creating the Iconic ‘Runway Glow’
The ‘runway glow’ is all about healthy, luminous skin that looks effortlessly fresh under the bright lights of the catwalk. NYFW models face intense schedules, limited sleep, and continuous exposure to environmental stressors. DefenAge’s scientifically backed formulations help combat these challenges by supporting skin recovery, reducing visible signs of fatigue, and restoring a natural, radiant complexion.
