New York Fashion SS 2011. NARS was backstage creating the makeup look at the Honor SS2011 show. Makeup Trend: Accentuated Eyes & Nude Lips. Makeup by NARS International Lead Makeup Artist James Boehmer.

INSPIRATION: “Elegant femininity inspired by Catherine Deneuve and Grace Kelly with an edge of rebellion like Cyndi Lauper,” said Honor designer Giovanna Randall about the look and inspiration. With the venue set up like a Parisian apartment, the idea was to communicate a merge of innocent femininity and bold sexuality.

MAKEUP LOOK: A round-shaped eye combined with a nude matte lip and an overall blended effect. “We wanted the look to be clean and simple so not to distract from the clothes,” said James Boehmer. To keep the face soft, features were kept streamlined by not using mascara.

Below are some key products and steps for recreating the look:

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (NEW for February 2011!). For now – try a light application of Sheer Glow Foundation
