LOOK: “The collection this season is about transcendence- moving from the earthly realm into the light.

Backstage Beauty: NYFW Nars + CREATURES OF THE WIND

 

Nars Global Artistry James Boehmer was the lead artist for Creatures of the Wind SS’14 runway show.

BEAUTY LOOK: “The real statement of the makeup look is the satin textured orange lip. It contrasts the color and finish of the opalescent-textured eye, and also references the era of the artist Eugene von Bruenchenhein, which was a source of inspiration for Shane and Chris. We loved the idea of translating this into the beauty look as well.”

LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry was the beauty god behind Carmen Marc Valvo  Fall 2013 Runway Show giving us deep on the eyes look and a signature red statement on the lips.

LOOK: "The collection is baroque with a punk edge, so we wanted the makeup to have that same feeling," says Boehmer. "The eyeliner is a reference to a classic eyeline, but with a punk spirit, so it’s not perfect, not delicate. The skin is very luminous; we talked about the girls looking slightly haunted, but in a pretty way."

NYFW: Backstage with NARS Director of Global Beauty James Boehmer at Naeem Khan

 

Written by Guest Blogger Amanda Raye of broke&chic

I was able to get the beauty dish with NARS Director of Global Beauty, James Boehmer and the Lead Hairstylist from Bumble and Bumble, Neil Moodie.  According to Boehmer of NARS: "The inspiration was Wallis Simpson, so to make the look more updated, we focused on a glossy, very vinyl-texture lip to contrast the matte texture of the skin." The skin was left very matte and the eyes very simple. The wow factors came from the bold and elongated brow. To get the look Boehmer used Bali, Coconut Grove Single Eyeshadow. For the lip he got extremely creative. He wanted a lip color that would look amazing on all the models. He started with the "Jungle Red" Lip Liner and overlaid it with "Damned Velvet" Matte Lip Pencil, "Never Say Never" Velvet Lip Pencil, and to finish it off, he added "Place Vendome Larger Than Life" Lip Gloss. Plum might be the lip color of choice for fall but it'll be all about deep red this upcoming spring!

Inspired by the 1940's look, Moodie went with the classic chignon, the vision was "elegance in royalty", giving the models a powerful look without being too over-the-top.

 He went with a center part to add even more of a statement. The nails were done by Dashing Diva and they wanted a classic womanly manicure with an edge their Color fx in red completely the look.

 

The hair, makeup and nails tied in beautifully with the gorgeous designs of Naeem Khan. This show was titled "The Duchess of Windsor: Exotic Gardens, Fiery Skies, and the Arabian Sea."

According to Khan:

"The focus of this collection is drawn from elemental beauty, and cultural landscapes: the intricacy of Moroccan art, geometric patterns, and delicate metalwork, as well as floral imagery, burning desert sunsets, and crashing ocean surf. These concepts were literally, and figuratively, translated into prints, beading, thread work and laser cut leather designs.

The Naeem Khan collection has evoked to encompass daywear and separates keeping true to the high embellishment and timeless glamour."

 

Would you ever try the bold lip and strong brow look that graced the runways?
