NARS Makeup Artist James Kaliardos created this look for Rodarte at New York Fall Fashion Week 2011. The designers drew inspiration from the great Vincent VanGogh.

I am really loving that smokey eye!
According to Kaliardos:
“It’s a really beautiful, round smokey eye, with gradations of blue, it’s like Starry Night and then there’s this beautiful lavender lip, complemented by warm skin.”

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:

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,

“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.”

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.
