NARS Beauty Report for NY Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs SS15

NARS created the look for the Marc Jacobs SS ‘15 runway show.

SHOW: Marc Jacobs SS ‘15

LEAD ARTIST: François Nars, Founder & Creative Director

LOOK: "The look for the show features no makeup – we only applied moisturizer. With Marc we always take it to the extreme, we’ve done bold looks in the past, but this season we wanted to make a statement by not applying anything.

This goes back to one of the looks that I’ve always loved – bare skin, nothing on the face, lips or eye, just beautiful skin – I love makeup but I also love seeing women without makeup. To me, it’s a great way to show fashion. It works so well with the clothes and the hair. Who knows, maybe next season we will go back to a full face of makeup. I love having the flexibility to do this, we are not locked into applying makeup. I like the idea that what you see is what you get.”

LOOK: "Thakoon's winter collection is inspired by summer," said Kendal. "So it was a combination of rich fabrics with short-sleeved dresses and heavy stoles with dragonflies.

NARS created the look for the Naeem Kahn runway show.

SHOW: Naeem Kahn

LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry

TREND: Precise, sharply drawn eyes

DESIGNER INSPIRATION: “Italian actress Monica Vitti inspired me," said the designer Naeem Kahn. "I wanted to do a collection that referenced Italy in the 1960s...a beautiful time."

LOOK: “The look is all about the precision, sharpness, and blackness of the line," said James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry. "Everything else has that 'barely there' feeling. The eye line has to be really sharp and pointed up towards the temple - it's not a cat eye, and it's not a wide eye. It draws the eyes up."

FACE
· Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF30/PA+++
· Concealer
· Loose Powder
· Sex Appeal Blush

EYES

LEAD ARTIST: François Nars, NARS Founder & Creative Director

The shape is round and a cloudy color, taking reference from 1920s Italian style icon and muse Marchesa Casati."
