NYFW: Beauty + Fashion Phillip Lim and Nars

    

SHOW: 3.1 phillip lim
LEAD ARTIST: Lisa Butler for NARS Cosmetics
TREND: Theatrical eyes

DESIGNER INSPIRATION:  “I thought about the element of motion – movement and vibrations that occur when you see a really chic girl riding a bicycle,” said designer Phillip Lim. “It’s a sense of class, but it is an athletic elegance in how she carries herself, and how she looks gliding through the air.” 
LOOK: “Phillip had an image of a black swan in a green lake as part of his inspiration board – and I wanted to mimic that idea of color surrounding something black - an unexpected element of surprise,” said Lisa Butler for NARS Cosmetics.  “The skin is kept clean, with a muted lip and then there are beautiful layers of green and blue on, and around the eyes."
