3.1 phillip lim Spring Summer 2011

New York Fashion Week SS 2011. Designer: 3.1 phillip lim (women’s). Makeup by Lisa Butler for NARS Cosmetics.

NARS was backstage creating the look at the 3.1 phillip lim women’s show. Makeup Trend: Nude lips and sculpted cheeks. Inspiration: “The looks are best described by saying they have the spirit of a modern female dandy- city girls in their strength but subtly whimsical,” said designer Phillip Lim. “Each girl is elegant with a sense of buoyancy.” The Makeup Look: “Youthful elegance was what we were aiming for,” said Lisa Butler about the look. No shine…polished, radiant skin “with dimension through sculpted cheeks.”

Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 2011

New York Fashion Week SS 2011. NARS was backstage creating the look at the Marc Jacobs SS2011 show. LEAD ARTIST: François Nars, Founder & Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics. Makeup Trend: Glossy green eyes & deep matte lips.

Makeup Look & Inspiration: “The look is very reminiscent of Angelica Houston in the 70s-the bleached brows and the deep eyes,” said François Nars. “I wanted them to look like iconic models from the 70s with a modern approach. Marc had images of what he wanted the makeup to look like – mimicking the colors of the clothing but not matching exactly.”

Thakoon Spring Summer 2011

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.

How to get the makeup look:

Honor Spring/Summer 2011 Show

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.

3.1. Phillip Lim Men Spring/Summer 2011

New York Fashion Week SS 2011. NARS was backstage creating the look at the 3.1 Phillip Lim men’s SS2011 show. Makeup Trend: Flushed cheeks and dewy skin.

INSPIRATION: “The boys are part bourgeoisie, part rugged. They have swagger, but they are beautiful,” said designer Phillip Lim. Naïve, fresh and with an affluence for dressing, they carry confidence like it’s second nature. Ruling the streets and proving that class is effortless, the Spring/Summer 2011 Phillip Lim man is gorgeous, and flawless-their innate beauty is best expressed through Lim saying, “Put a bow on this gift!”

NARS Pure Matte Lipstick

Ladies and gentleman the new NARS Matte Lipstick in TASHKET is legendary. It gives the perfect nude lips and match my very light olive complexion. The shade is a pale peach-cream.  Marta Walsh LOVES!!! I like to layer it with MAC Dazzleglass is smile (lipgloss first then NARS Pure Matte lipstick in TASHKENT). Only sometimes I wear it pure matte because I’m clearly addicted to a glossy finish. Expect to see NARS Pure Matte Lipstick during upcoming New York Fashion Week SS 2011, and the red carpet. The hottest thing:)
