New York Fashion SS 2011. NARS was backstage creating the look at the Thakoon SS2011 show. LEAD ARTIST: Diane Kendal for NARS Cosmetics. Makeup Trend: Golden luminosity

Inspiration: “The clothes are light so I wanted the makeup to have a little more impact this time – as if the girls were beautiful, cool fairies,” said designer Thakoon. “I wanted the whole aura to feel like opening windows and letting in a breeze- fresh and romantic but tempered at the same time.”

The Makeup Look: “Golden, but not tanned. As if the girls are glowing from within… with, of course, confidence,” said lead artist Diane Kendal.
