Clare Danes, Chloe Sevigny, Alexa Chung At 2011 Met Gala
NARS Cosmetics worked with celebrity makeup artists to create the looks for several guests at the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala, including Clare Danes, Chloe Sevigny, Alexa Chung, Eva Mendes and Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen! Marta Walsh has the sneak peek to the list of products used, including NARS’ new-for-Fall-2011 Larger Than Life Lip Glosses and Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliners.
Clare Danes
MAKEUP ARTIST: Matin M.
THE LOOK: The dress was like a shimmery liquid sand and Exotic Dance Duo Eyeshadow resembled that. I couldn’t resist using it. For elongating the eyes and defining them, the Via Appia Larger Than Life Eyeliner was perfect in keeping the lids gold and glossy without being too heavy,” said Matin.
NARS PRODUCTS USED: Exotic Dance Duo Eyeshadow (NEW for Summer 2011!), Gold Member Cream Blush (on lips!); Via Appia Larger Than Life
Long-Wear Eyeliner (NEW for Fall 2011!; for now try the left side of Cordura Duo Eyeshadow); Gold Digger Larger Than Life Lip Gloss (NEW for Fall 2011!; for now try Sunset Strip Lip Gloss)
Chloe Sevigny
MAKEUP ARTIST: Daniel Martin for NARS Cosmetics
THE LOOK: “Her dress was a gift, custom-made for her, from Alexander McQueen. In typical Chloe fashion, we wanted her makeup to look almost slept-in. So we applied the liner and quickly smudged it out – it was the perfect cool-girl effect,” said Daniel about the look he created using the new Via Veneto Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner.

Alexa Chung
MAKEUP ARTIST: Tamah K. for NARS Cosmetics
THE LOOK: “It was very mod – very 60s, but the glitz gave it modernity. We felt we should do the same with the makeup look, which simply demanded a graphic cat-eye with shimmer and neutral lip,” said Tamah about Alexa’s look.
