Backstage at Carmen Marc Valvo Spring/Summer 2014, the beauty look was inspired by tribal motifs that were evident in the luxe fabrics and intricate embellishments of the collection. This translated to polished, soft-matte skin, graphic eyeliner with a dash of shimmer on the lid, nude lips with a chic dip-dyed bob and French nails with a twist.
Working for NARS Cosmetics, lead makeup artist Uzo described the look as “fresh and pretty” with very polished skin and a focus on the eyes. To get the soft-matte skin, Uzo said to first apply NARS The Multiple onto the high points of the face and bridge of the nose, add a little foundation over it then top with a little powder to mattify the look. On the eyes, Uzo went for a ’60s graphic eye with thick, black eyeliner but added a lightly contoured crease and platinum shimmer to keep the look modern. To finish, the lips were toned down with concealer and painted with a soft matte nude beige color.
