Located in the heart of New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza, the FAO-Abulous Boutique at FAO Schwarz offers a unique twist on adventure—one rooted not in rugged terrain but in creative self-expression. This vibrant beauty experience gives young glamour enthusiasts an extraordinary chance to handpick and assemble a personalized makeup collection from a broad palette of eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks, lip glosses, and nail polishes. The result is a custom kit housed in an eye-catching FAO Boutique carrying case, topped off with a faux leather heart charm embossed with the user’s initials—a keepsake that turns a makeup set into a personal treasure.
For those ready to fully embrace their spotlight moment, the Deluxe Beauty Experience elevates the visit with a mini makeover and expert tutorial led by FAO-Abulous Makeup Artists. This hands-on session not only provides professional techniques tailored to each participant but also builds confidence—a rare and empowering adventure in its own right. Recommended for children aged six and up, the boutique blends creativity and instruction, making it a standout destination amid New York’s bustling retail and cultural scene.
What sets the FAO-Abulous Boutique apart is its energetic blend of artistry and personalization within an iconic urban setting.

FAO Schwarz’s location within Rockefeller Plaza invites visitors to connect with a landmark steeped in history and activity, while the boutique’s offerings offer a fresh, engaging complement to the outdoor adventure experiences typically sought in the region.
