The most talked about runway show was Marc Jacobs SS'17, the creativity was brilliant and a showstopper for sure. Designers are allowed to be creative it's their art and the beauty looks were powerful as well.

François Nars, Founder & Creative Director of Nars Inspiration

Backstage Beauty: NYFW Creatures of the Wind AW'16

The beauty look was all about the statement on the lips. Since we are in the weekend of Valentine's Day you can definitely play up this style by using a variety of red shades you heart.

Makeup Artist Mark Carrasquillo used Nars Cosmetics to achieve this backstage beauty look!

 

“I was inspired by a young Hispanic girl in New York. She's really confident and likes herself -
she doesn't entertain all the makeup tricks "contour, foundation & powder” she goes straight
for a strong lip. This is a sophisticated update on the heavily-lined lip from the 90’s. I played
with the color and application on the lips, kept the rest of the face clean and bare, and brushed
gloss through her brows to keep it young. It’s beauty with attitude.”
—Mark Carrasquillo for NARS Cosmetics

Backstage Beauty: Uzo for NARS at Michael Costello S/S16

 

BACKSTAGE AT MICHAEL COSTELLO SS’16

 

 

 

 

LEAD ARTIST: Uzo, NARS International Lead Makeup Stylist

 

LOOK: “This season's beauty look takes inspiration from the decadent 70’s. Michael wanted the look of a Studio 54 pool party that was modern and effortless with a relaxed vibe to sync with the collection. We loved the idea of a bold, matte mod icy-pink lip paired with shimmery eyes and soft, illuminated skin.”

 

It was all about that glowing lip, nothing else matters when it came to this beauty look.
