Drawing on references ranging from Art Deco to punk rock, Mandy Coon's makeup look is certain to be among the season's most unusual. Lead makeup artist Francelle created intensity through a boldly lined eye, using Nars's Larger Than Life eyeliner in black and white shades. We previewed the mechanical pencil backstage, and we're pretty much counting down the days until it's out this fall. "It doesn't budge," Francelle said. "And it sharpens to a point, so you get a precise line." (All true.)

Hair, created by Pasquale Ferrante of Ion Studio, echoed the designer's own short, fruit punch-red style. After applying generous amounts of Rene Furterer Mousse Stylisante, he affixed hair extensions to cover models' right eyes. Since only one eye was visible on the runway, only one needed makeup — just the kind of off-kilter concept that made the show so much fun to see.

Christina Ricci has always had a bit of an edge, and that's exactly what NARS makeup artist Francelle aimed to bring out at the closing of Marina Abramović's "The Artist Is Present" at the MoMA. "It’s all about the eyes," said Francelle. "We kept them classic but infused edginess by adding green tones." The noir-inspired look was paired with matte foundation and NARS Lip Gloss in Harlow ($24), a silvery mauve. Get tips on how to do Christina's infused-with-green eye makeup when you read more.
