“The theme of this collection is travels to exotic islands. I wanted to create a transparent, sun-kissed look that is very fresh.”
Looks created by: James Boehmer, NARS Lead International Stylist
Face:
- Use a good amount of NARSskin hydrating moisture cream to moisturize and give skin a healthy feel.
- Apply a small amount of NARSskin nourishing eye cream around eye area.
- Apply a small amount of NARS Balanced Foundation only where needed for a translucent finish. Air on the side one shade warmer than your usual foundation.
- Apply NARS Concealer where needed to cover skin imperfections and brighten area under eye.
- Gently dust NARS Loose Powder over entire face for a flawless complexion—skin should look really polished
- Apply NARS Blush in Sertao on cheek bone, extending high up on orbital bone of the eye and buff down using the Botan Brush to blend
Eyes:
- Apply the golden champagne side of NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Alhambra on entire eyelid, extending from upper lash line to crease. Blend to soften the finish.
- Apply the gold side of NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Balthazar to the center of the eyelid and blend outward to the outer corner of the eye
- Dip a clean mascara wand into NARS Liquid Eyeliner in Showgirl and use as mascara.
- Using the Liquid Eyeliner Brush, apply NARS Liquid Eyeliner in Angel Heart to upper lash line, keeping the line close to the lashes. Extend the line from inner to outer corner of the eye.
- The brow shouldn’t appear too full or too warm. Push up with brow gel and fill in with NARS Single Eyeshadow in Bali using the Brow Shader Brush
- Take a little bit of golden champagne side of Alhambra and highlight the point of cheek bone along the bridge of the nose.
Lips:
- Apply NARS Lipstick in Manhunt in the center of lips. Diffuse with finger to blend away hard edges. It should appear like a stain- deconstructed.
- Top with NARS Lip Gloss in Greek Holiday in center of the lip and blot down. It should be very thinly applied to add a touch of sparkle.
