Mr. NARS himself,  Francois Nars created this look for Marc Jacobs for Spring/Summer 2012.

The Inspiration:

“Marc had a lot of images of Patsy Klein, Amy Winehouse, and Cowboy Kate, a book from the 60’s whose character Kate had heavy eyelashes,” said Founder and Creative Director François Nars. “The complexion is meant to look like it’s glowing, like the girls have been dancing, and by eliminating the blush it gives a strange, otherworldly effect. The focus was really on the eye, with a well-defined brow. The combination of different touches creates a decadent, French sensuality and makes the girls more like characters.”

This collection comes out tomorrow, Sept 15th in the US and Canada and in October internationally.  It is already being sold online at maccosmetics.com as well as other online retailers, such as Nordstrom.

This is a limited edition collection featuring some classic items, paint pots and mattene lipsticks.  Needless to say, I will be ALL OVER this collection!  I love the versatility of the paintpots to be used as an eyeshadow base or as a cream eyeshadow.  I have one or two of the original Mattene lipsticks, so that I am anxious to see what this new batch has to offer.

NARS Makeup Artist Diane Kendel created this look for Thakoon at New York Fall Fashion Week 2011.  Thakoon’s inspirations were the spice markets in India, full on colourful!

According to Diane Kendel:

“Because the collection is so colourful, I wanted to focus on a classic, strong brow.  I kept the face natural, with a little pink in the cheek for healthy colour.  On the eyes, I focus on the contouring to show strength and attitude, a cowboy attitude that is.”

So J. Lo has been making a comeback and she is one of the latest spokespersons for L’Oreal.  I saw this ad in a magazine for L’Oreal Colour Riche le Gloss, where the look was very glossy and smokey.

She has been rocking the heavy, defined, black liner with thick, dense lashes on magazine covers and other ads.

Anyway, here she has pointed liner, peachy-bronzey eyeshadow, peach lips, full brows and full lashes.

This is what I came up with:
