New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 Trend Report: Marchesa

NARS Cosmetics created the makeup look at the Marchesa SS2010 show.

Lead Artist: Talia Shobrook for NARS Cosmetics
Trend: Long Feathered Lashes
Inspiration:
The inspiration behind the collection came from Madame Butterfly. “I wanted to capture the real look of Japan, create layers and bits of origami,” said designer Georgina Chapman. The whimsical creations based in sculpted layers balanced the soft, bare faces that were accentuated with long lashes.

Look: Very simple, romantic and beautiful skin contoured with varying formulas. “We contoured the skin with matte and shimmery textures and added feathers to the eyes to provide dimension to the face,” explained lead artist Talia Shobrook. A matte face was illuminated with a bit of shimmer. Feather lashes, custom created by NARS from the feathers on the Marchesa dresses, gave excitement to an otherwise simple look.

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

Emmy Rossum was spotted at multiple events this past week during New York Fashion Week. At Bergdorf Goodman for Fashion’s Night Out on September 10th she donned a bold lip and bright eyes. She loved the lip color so much that she took it from our artist to keep for herself.

 

At Marchesa’s SS 2010 presentation she opted for a more subtle approach pairing radiant skin with soft pink lips. “Emmy wanted a smokey-eye look suitable for daytime,” said NARS Makeup Artist Lenna Scarrot about the celebrity’s Marchesa look. “She wanted it to be more light gray- no black- like a seductive ballerina.” Her flawless matte complexion was complemented by a soft, seductive eye and a naturally glossed pout perfect for a day to night transition. She kept everything that was used on her, and especially loved the new NARS Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara, telling Lenna “there’s no need for false lashes!”
