NARS National Makeup Artist, Uzo created this look for the Joy Cioci show at New York Fashion Week 2011. It seems that the very bold, bright lip continues into the next few seasons. According to Uzo,
NARS National Makeup Artist Uzo
“Radiant skin is having a moment again, we were seeing very matte skin throughout the past few seasons, but dewiness is back, paired with a precisely-lined, bold lip. It’s elegant, but it’s tough.”
Here’s what she created and the key products used:
The prequel to New York Fashion Week is here and it starts tomorrow. Not only is it in NYC, but it has expanded to cities across the U.S. and around the world. On September 8th, the fashion and beauty world is going to go mad with lots of limited edition items, parties, special FNO-exclusive events and general revalry!
I am just planning my list of places to hit (shame, I know!), and the FNO website has a pretty cool feature where you can map out your route through the streets of New York.
For more information, including events in places outside of the U.S., check out the FNO website, or follow the hastag #FNO on twitter. Oh, they also have apps for iPhone and Android phones.

I definitely want to check out NARS to see the limited-edition FNO collection.
So last year M.A.C. held a competition to give 6 fanatics a chance at a makeover and to the the faces of one of their fall campaigns. I entered. I didn’t win 🙁 But here is the collection. I’m glad M.A.C. chose 6 very different people, including a dude! And the lady with the silvery hair, fierce!!!!!

NARS revamps its concealer line and adds some new shades to the darker end of the spectrum. Take a look!
NARS Concealer boasts a lightweight, creamy texture enriched with Vitamin E for crease-resistant coverage that stays in place all day. Aside from new slim packaging, the formula will grow its shade range from a total of six shades to ten to help achieve a NARS Immaculate Complexion. Whether applied to camouflage darkness under the eyes or to reduce the appearance of redness and skin imperfections, the new range reaches a broader scope of skintones and is targeted to more closely match NARS’ Sheer Matte & Sheer Glow Foundation shades. Apply with a brush for even application and precise spot coverage.
