Fall 2009 Beauty Preview: NARS at 3.1 phillip lim #NYFW Show
It looks like this Spring’s trend of overall rocker details will carry over into Fall 2009. Loves it.
NARS Backstage Beauty at 3.1 phillip lim Fashion Show for Fall 2009
The look that NARS makeup artist Ayako created at the 3.1 phillip lim NYFW show for Autumn/Winter 2009 was all about wispy lashes and translucent matte skin. The makeup was intended to look very mod with a touch of rock & roll, for an overall “poetic mod-rock” look.
Ayako applied false lashes to the outer corners of the bottom lash line of the models to create the wispy look. Shimmering pink and gold eyeshadows were brushed on the lids. For lips, a bit of concealer was applied to mute the natural lip color. (This muted-with-concealer lip look has been seen in many shows during Fall 2009 NYFW, so it’s safe to say that nude lips are definitely a go for this Fall).
The skin was perfected with the new NARS Sheer Matte Foundation and a bit of shimmer was swept on the cheekbones to catch the light.
