NARS created the look for the Creatures Of The Wind presentation SS 2012 during New York Fashion Week. LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry. TREND: Pastel eyes with glowing skin.

Backstage at Creatures Of The Wind for Spring 2012

DESIGNER INSPIRATION: “We had in our minds this idea of moving objects coming to life,” said designers Shane Gabier and Chris Peters. “It’s quite psychedelic, a little triply with the acid greens and purples.”

LOOK: “We didn’t want to see the makeup before seeing the clothes but still wanted a strong look,” said James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry. “It’s very chalky and very 90’s. To balance the chalkiness in the eyes, we gave a luminosity to the cheekbones.”
