A simple, romantic look with soft skin and long, feathered lashes dominated the Marchesa Spring 2010 show.
“We contoured the skin with matte and shimmery textures and added feathers to the eyes to provide dimension to the face,” explained lead artist Talia Shobrook for NARS Cosmetics. A matte face was illuminated with a bit of shimmer. Feather lashes, custom created by NARS from the feathers on the Marchesa dresses, gave excitement to an otherwise simple look.
Face
Mix Sheer Matte Foundation with Orgasm Illuminator (new for Spring 2010) and gently blend all over the face. Apply Concealer under the eyes and only where redness shows. Using fingers, apply Luxor Multiple (new for Holiday 2009) across the cheekbone. Apply Powder Foundation under the eyes and to the center of forehead. With Yachiyo Kabuki Artisan Brush, contour the cheeks with Nepal Single Eyeshadow. Apply a mixture of both shadows from Thebes Cream Duo Eyeshadow on the cheekbones, bridge of nose and on the upper temples.
Eyes
Apply Abyssinia Single Eyeshadowall over the eye up to the brow. Line the top lashline, as well as the lower lash line, with Iceberg Eyeliner Pencil Curl lashes with Eyelash Curler and apply one light coat of Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara on the top lashes, only. Using clear eyelash glue, apply custom-made feather lashes.
Lips
Apply Cruising Lipstick (new for Spring 2010) with fingers to the lips.
