"Seated across from Ally and Taylor Frankel, it's hard not to feel, well, under-accomplished. The sisters, aged 15 and 17 respectively, are the brains behind Nudestix, a brand-new makeup brand that just launched at the ultra-lu insider beauty destination Space NK.\n\n \"Our mom is a beauty ecutive with over 20 years of experience,\" Ally explains. \"But two years ago, she left a brand she helped to co-found, and took a break to hang out with me and my sister more.\"\n\n It quickly became apparent that Mom wasn't exactly putting down the work just yet. \"She started noticing things about our beauty routines,\" Taylor explains. \"And she'd ask us questions about who we follow on Instagram, or what we think of wearing certain colors. And we basically came up with an entirely different approach to beauty.\"\n\n Mom would be better known as Jenny Frankel, one of the creators of (among many other things) M.A.C. Lipglass, the decadent, thick, hair-attracting (but so-worth-it) gloss that dominated the beauty aesthetic of the early 2000s. So imagine her consternation when her daughters neglected makeup brushes, palettes, and bold colors altogether in favor of barely-there stains, smudges, and a swipe of mascara.\n\n \"We came up with this idea to create a collection that was easy to use, which was with crayons,\" Ally says. At $24 a piece, you can get a concealer, lip and cheek product, liner, and budge-proof shadow. (Not sold in crayon format is, obviously, the mascara.) They're all portable and travel-friendly, and the creamy formulas make it easy to diffuse, blend, and apply. Basically, it's like makeup for beginners.\n\n \"This isn't about smoky eyes or bright lipstick or blue shadows,\" Taylor says. \"It's all about enhancing your natural beauty.\"\n\n In the midst of the sisters' exciting trip to New York City, where they got to tour Teen Vogue, meet beauty editors, and visit the stores that carry the collection, they took us to Washington Square Park for a crash course in Nudestix.
