Despite the fact that there is about foot of snow on the ground, the fashion world never stopped! Here’s the makeup done by Uzo, NARS’ International Lead Makeup Artist, at the Tia Cibani show.

The Inspiration…
“I love the 1920s feel to the collection, the nod to Art Deco, and the inspiration from Man Ray portraiture,” said Uzo. “I wanted a look that celebrated the beauty standard of that era but still keep things fresh and modern by pairing the bold lip with healthy, luminous skin.”
Awards season has begun and I was excited to see who was wearing what on the red carpet! My favourite Mexicana Salma Hayek, stunned on the with this gorgeous midnight blue ensemble!! If this is what your 40s are like, sign me up!!
Here are the details for Salma’s makeup which was done by celebrity makeup artist Jeannia Robinette, who used NARS Cosmetics. She also wore a Gucci Premiere dress! Love!!!

Beauty Inspiration: “Salma is such a knockout! Her dress was midnight blue – very sophisticated and over-the-top glamour, so we wanted to play off the dress, but keep things hip and modern with fresh makeup. The eyes are very luminescent – we lightened them up with coppers and silvery peach, then gave them depth with eggplant and plum. With a bright lip, the look was trendy, young, and modern.”
