FYI NARS Marchesa’s Autumn/Winter 2009

nars marchesa

Straight from the press release… I love the idea of the fairytale look so much I need to share in some way.  I would kill for skin like hers and would surely invest in the NARS skincare to look like that!  the makeup is light and natural, so fresh, totally love it because I could actually wear that look every day.  I like fashion shows but many times the looks are incredibly hard to achieve, not so with NARS.

NARS Cosmetics was backstage creating the makeup look for Marchesa’s Autumn/Winter 2009 show.  The lead artist was Talia Shobrook and she followed the wild brows, matte skin trend.  

Inspiration:  Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig created their Fall 2009 collection with fairytales in mind.  To highlight this theme, Talia Shobrook created a whimsical look from her vision of a naughty aristocrat running out of a party, “like a young girl going into the woods wearing a gorgeous ball gown, putting on makeup rather naively,” she explained.
 
Here are some tips from the press release to get the same look yourself.

  • Lightly exfoliate and smooth skin with NARSskin Hydrating Freshening Lotion
  • Moisturize with NARSskin Aqua Gel Hydrator
  • Use NARS Sheer Glow Foundation (NEW for Fall 2009) in the center of the face and buff out for a  neutral base
  • Apply NARS Concealer generously, to cover any imperfections
  • Apply NARS Loose Powder for matte finish

Eyes:

  • Apply NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Kilimanjaro (icy yellow and icy blue sides) to entire lid, all the way to the brow, in a block shape, not blending
