NY Fashion Week S/S 2011 Trend Report: NARS at Honor








NARS was backstage creating the look at the Honor SS2011 show.

SHOW: Honor
LEAD ARTIST: International Lead Makeup Artist James Boehmer
TREND: Accentuated Eyes & Nude Lips

INSPIRATION: “Elegant femininity inspired by Catherine Deneuve and Grace Kelly with an edge of rebellion like Cyndi Lauper,” said Honor designer Giovanna Randall about the look and inspiration. With the venue set up like a Parisian apartment, the idea was to communicate a merge of innocent femininity and bold sexuality.

LOOK: A round-shaped eye combined with a nude matte lip and an overall blended effect. “We wanted the look to be clean and simple so not to distract from the clothes,” said James Boehmer. To keep the face soft, features were kept streamlined by not using mascara.

Below are some key products and steps for recreating the look:

-NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (NEW for February 2011!). For now – try a light application of Sheer Glow Foundation

-NARS Zen Blush

-NARS Bombshell Eyeshadow (to highlight cheekbones)

-NARS Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow

-NARS Ashes To Ashes Eyeshadow

-NARS Madere Pure Matte Lipstick (NEW for Spring 2011!) dabbed on the lip (try NARS Bangkok Pure Matte Lipstick for now)

Hey, not sure if I've ever commented here before but I should, b/c I'm often referring to your blog for swatches. Anyhooow...I am liking the clothing from all these S/S photos I'm seeing all over the place but I am loathing the makeup. The first two are so UGH to me but the third of all three models is pretty. I can appreciate a natural look and I understand people piling on products to look natural but to pile them on to look like you just woke up or have a bad cold, I don't get. These aren't as bad as some that I've seen but I think it's a weird trend. I'm much more excited to delve into fall's dark lips and perfect complexion makeup!
