NARS SS2010 Fashion Week Trend Report- Marc Jacobs
SHOW: Marc Jacobs
LEAD ARTIST: François Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics
TREND: Theatrical Makeup
INSPIRATION: The look of the Marc Jacobs collection was inspired by the contemporary dancer, Martha Graham: Old-fashioned and theatrical but graceful and precise. At the same time, however, there was a darker side that was shone through: a quality of gothic romance. Ballerinas with a sense of mystery- as if part of them, along with some of their makeup, had been left behind on stage.
LOOK: Left-over stage makeup. The models weren’t meant to have perfect makeup- rather, they were meant to encompass a “just came off-stage” effect. “Dancers in theater and opera always have white faces, pointed lips and an eye that is drawn outward, not upward-it’s very theatrical, very ballet,” said François Nars. He stressed the importance of the eye for this look, noting that “the shape of the eyeliner is important- it should open the eyes, especially underneath. The slashes of white is something they used to do in the 70s- it brings a 3-dimensional feeling to the makeup.”
Below are some key products and steps for recreating the look:
Face:
· Blend NARS Siberia Sheer Matte foundation onto the face
· Set with NARS Snow Loose Powder for a white, pirouette-clown look
· Subtly contour and highlight, if necessary, with NARS Hungry Heart Blush Duo
Eyes:
· Dust the white shimmer from the left side of NARS Pandora Duo Eyeshadow on the eyelid
· Use NARS D.Gorgeous Single Eyeshadow (NEW for Spring 2010) in the crease
Using the NARS Eyeliner Stylo in Nuits Blanches on the top and bottom lids, follow the shape of the eye, elongating it just past the outer corners but keeping the line straight and out, never moving upwards. (Can we fix the bullet I can’t get the same one to work?)
· Use NARS Black Moon Eyeliner Pencil to enhance the eye
· After applying two sets of false eyelashes, apply one coat of NARS Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara followed by one coat of NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara
Lips:
· Apply NARS Pop Life Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (NEW for Holiday 2009) to upper and lower lips, adding an extra layer on the top lip. Dab your finger along the lower lip to lightly fade the color so that the top lip is darker.

NARS Fall 2009
Fall’s runways were dominated by two words: bold and feminine. Strong shouldered and form-hugging silhouettes, extreme heels and provocative thigh-high boots, and a color palette of classic hues turned up a notch to Technicolor volumes. These trends also illustrate the NARS Fall collection.
“For this collection, I wanted to create something fragile and strong, and seductive but not aggressive,” said François Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics. The combination of strength and refinement has become a hallmark of NARS, and is particularly fitting this season as the brand celebrates its 15th anniversary.
Below are the highlights:
NARS Fast Ride Lipstick - $24
This seemingly dark purple may intimidate, but swipe it across the lips and its true shade is revealed: a sheer mulberry. A color that falls somewhere between an intense plum wine stain, and a moody, deep violet.
NARS Tokaido Express - $16
This new hue is a cult classic in the making. Named after Japan’s most heavily frequented high-speed rail route, this lacquer is an opulent blackened amethyst doused with ultra-fine gold dust particles.
NARS Silk Road Duo Eyeshadow- $32
This new shade mirrors the hues from traditional damask fabrics. Classic meets edgy in this new duo — an icy pink is paired with a warm rose gold with golden flecks.
NARS Brumes Duo Eyeshadow- $32
These new hues perfectly capture the moody shades of a cool twilight sky. Brumes pairs a velvety matte charcoal with a sparkling, blue state for a smoky eye that is both confident and serene.
NARS Indian Summer Duo Eyeshadow- $32
A typical Indian summer comes as a surprise, balmy sunshine meets brisk fall. Swipe the summery, frosted champagne shimmer up to the brow, and line the upper lid with the autumnal deep, matte mustard for a striking look, appropriate for every season.
NARS Mekong Single Eyeshadow- $22
This is the perfect addition to the NARS woman’s adventurous palette. The intense, blackened espresso hue scattered with rose gold is a study in contrasts. Applied liberty across the lid it exudes a sexy attitude, or applied lightly, a simple, fashion-forward sophistication.
NARS Fast Ride Lipstick - $24
NARS Tokaido Express - $16
NARS Vintage Nails- Zizi
NARS Vintage Polish release included quite a few shades, including my fave- Zizi. This is a clear polish with gold and peach glitter. I really like this one because it is easy to remove with my ZOYA polish remover and looks great alone and on top of other colors.
- Available at Sephora and NARS $16.00
But in all honesty, you can pick up something similar to this even a 99 cent polish with glitter will work. But if you like NARS or brand names then check this one out.
Nars Bridal Palette
Are you a makeup artist or just want something quick and perfect on your wedding day. Why not just pick up one palette that has it all for you and your brides.
$65.00
Nars Scorching Sun Swatch
NARS Scorching Sun Vs NARS Meditaranee
I like both because I love Orange. It’s one of my favourite colors. I find it to be super funky and eye catching. But for those of you who are on the fence with the two palettes, I’d recommend going for the original orange because it has that magical shimmering Meditaranee combo. That color is extremely unique and is like orange water(mix both colors for a third shade). On the other hand Scorching Sun has a pretty matte orange and frosty orange.
Tip: If you have Blue eyes.. these are the two palettes to make your eyes POP no body’s business!
