NARS Backstage At Marchesa Fall 2009 NYFW

Posted By Sarah Conley on Feb 26, 2009 at 4:39PM

NARS Cosmetics was backstage creating the makeup look for Marchesa’s Autumn/Winter 2009 show. Below is information on the look and attached is an image and face chart for your reference. Please let me know if you have any questions.

SHOW: Marchesa

LEAD ARTIST: Talia Shobrook for NARS Cosmetics

TREND: Wild brows, matte skin

Inspiration: Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig created their Fall 2009 collection with fairytales in mind. To highlight this theme, Talia Shobrook created a whimsical look from her vision of a naughty aristocrat running out of a party, “like a young girl going into the woods wearing a gorgeous ball gown, putting on makeup rather naively,” she explained.

Look: Wild brows atop flawless skin was the focus of the look. “I used a dash of Madrague brown shadow and went right into the inner corners of the brows,” said Talia. To capture the look of a tousled young girl, the brows were brushed in an unnatural direction. Beneath the brows was a colored lid of matte white, as if applied in a fleeting moment by a true makeup novice. Soft lips complemented the perfect skin.

Below is a step-by-step to recreate the look:

Face
·         Lightly exfoliate and smooth skin with NARSskin Hydrating Freshening Lotion

·         Moisturize with NARSskin Aqua Gel Hydrator

·         Use NARS Sheer Glow Foundation (NEW for Fall 2009) in the center of the face and buff out for a neutral base

·         Apply NARS Concealer generously, to cover any imperfections

·         Apply NARS Loose Powder for matte finish
Eyes:

·         Apply NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Kilimanjaro (icy yellow and icy blue sides) to entire lid, all the way to the brow, in a block shape, not blending

·         Apply NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Madrague (cream side) on top

·         Dash of the brown in NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Madrague (caramel side) into the inner top corners of the brows, pushing the hair in opposite directions

·         Curl lashes with NARS Eyelash Curler

·         Coat top lashes with NARS Larger than Life Volumizing Mascara in Black (NEW for Fall 2009)

Lips:

·         Massage light layer of NARS Lip Lacquer in Chelsea Girls

·         Apply a bit of NARS Concealer to center of lip for matte look
