Recently I attended an event by NARS showcasing the Autumn Winter 2011 Runway Trends and the looks created by some of NARS's best makeup artists. See a selection of the looks below!
From left to right: Show: Honor - Trend: Graphic Eyes
Show: Marc Jacobs - Trend: Blushed cheeks and lined eye
Show: House of Waris - Trend: Lined eyes with a hint of color, complemented by sun-kissed skin
Show: 3.1 Phillip Lim - Trend:Theatrical eyes
Show: Mandy Coon - Trend: Art-deco “inside out-lined” eyes
Show: Thakoon - Trend: Tribal eyes and muted lips
As much as I love this bold style of runway makeup, they can be a little unwearable for everyday people like you and me. However I really liked the simpleness of the Honor, Marc Jacobs and House of Waris looks!
Also on display at the event was NARS's new 2011 Summer Collection! Created by NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars, collection is a range of warm, sophisticated, shimmering shades, punctuated with shots of vivid, nature-defying color. Eyes are washed in icy sea foam, silver-green and frozen turquoise. Lips are infused with mandarin orange gloss and hot pink matte color. The look is finished with nails in bold sunflower yellow or matte opaque white for a modern, edgy effect that’s strictly NARS.
♥ Dogon Duo Eyeshadow (Limited Edition) £23.50
Named for the Mali-based culture, this metallic taupe (with icy green sheen) and charcoal black duo eyeshadow delivers an unexpected twist on an otherwise neutral color combo. Blend the lighter shade from lashes to brow and smudge the darker hue in the crease and along lashes for added impact. When blended together, the shades create an iridescent green cast on the charcoal hue.
♥ Exotic Dance Duo Eyeshado (Limited Edition) £23.50
A well choreographed pairing of metallic white with silver sheen and metallic gold, creates a dazzling duo eyeshadow. The shimmering hues can each be worn alone or layered for a mixed metal look that has added intensity.
Named for the string of cities that line the Gulf of Tunis, this matte, hot pinkhue saturates lips with rich, bold color. The pure matte lipstick creates a sophisticated, eye-catching statement that’s both timeless and modern.
♥ Mayflower Lipstick (Limited Edition) £17.50
This nourishing, sheer raspberry lipstick, delivers subtle color with a shimmery finish. Wear alone or with other lip products, it’s the perfect complement to a bold eye.
Oh and another thing that really caught my eye was the Orgasm, Albatross, Laguna 'Blush/Bronzer Trio'. This handy portable zip-around compact contains the three most iconic NARS products!
I love my Orgasm blush to pieces plus Albatross and Laguna have been on my lust list for sooo long....meaning this compact may be something I just need to get my hands on. Because it's limited edition and priced at £39, I reckon this will sell out fast!
This new NARS collection will be available in the UK from May 1st, 2011 at narscosmetics.co.uk or from any major department store. Have you spotted anything that tickles your fancy? xoxo
