From laid-back speakeasies to lively rooftop bars, Mexico City’s nightlife scene spans the gamut — and the beauty products you pack for a summertime retreat to the locale need to be equally versatile.
As summer encroaches and the return of club culture — which saw a rise last summer thanks in part to Charli XCX’s popular dance-pop “Brat” album — commences, WWD Weekend kicks off its “Party Here, Party There” series. Arriving in four parts, the series rounds up the club-girl beauty product essentials for excursions to four of the season’s buzziest hot spots — from the Hamptons to Bangkok to Ibiza to Mexico.
