Lea Michele’s Makeup At The 2010 Emmy Awards by NARS! The Bling & Diamonds: Lorraine Schwartz. Brown and White Diamond Mesh Necklace. Stacked Brown and White Diamond Bracelets. Brown Diamond Stud Earrings. Brown and White Diamond Ring.

The Makeup Look & Inspiration: “My inspiration was the era of the 60’s. I thought of Raquel Welch and Bridget Bardot: the winged eye, the nude lip. The dress is so classic, so we wanted to be adventurous with her eyes– giving a dash of color with the new Palladium Soft Touch Shadow Pencil – and kept the lip nude with Tashkent Pure Matte!”–Melanie Inglessis for NARS Cosmetics

NARS Q&A With Daphne Guinness

Celebrity Inspired Makeup. NARS Q&A With Daphne Guinness!

When it comes to describing fashionista Daphne Guinness, the passion of Founder & Creative Director François Nars knows no boundaries. And when it came to designing and photographing this futuristic makeup look for Fall 2010, François created a look worthy of his leading lady. It was only fitting that Nars chose to name an eyeshadow after his muse, Daphne, a color that is as bold and beautiful as the woman for whom it was named. To magnify the arresting impact of the magnificent Ms. Guinness, Nars designed and photographed her in a kaleidoscope of mirrors, creating a virtual funhouse of reflective images.

Their makeup looks dirty and worn out as if it has been on all night but still translates beautifully on the runway.”
