If you're looking for a runway look to copy now, but you want something that's neither too ordinary nor too avant-garde, let Naeem Khan's Fall 2012 eye makeup be your inspiration. Using Italian actress Monica Vitti as a muse, James Boehmer, Nars director of global artistry, painted on precise, sharp liner for a "pushed up and quirky" finish. Photo: Getty Read more
Creatures of the Wind, a Chicago-based fashion duo, is quickly picking up buzz as they continue to show at New York Fashion Week. The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runners-up presented their Fall 2012 collection at the Desmond Tutu Center, and the beauty look was just as creative and offbeat as their designs. The hair alone was dramatic, complex, and remarkable — making it the perfect pairing for Read more
For her Fall 2012 collection, designer Giovanna Randall was inspired by the love story of a preppy boy and free-spirited Argentinean girl. But when it comes to beauty, the inspiration was decidedly Gallic. Borrowing from French singer and style icon Françoise Hardy, the just-slept-on hair and chalky eye makeup were uncomplicated and cool. See how the look came together, and you'll agree: this Read more
The makeup look at Honor, Giovanna Randall's fledgling clothing line, was a beautifully bright mashup of three separate decades. "The collection has a '70s sensibility, but in an American sportswear way," lead makeup artist James Boehmer said of Randall's sophomore collection. "We didn't want the makeup or hair to look '70s, because then the clothes would, too." Instead, he dipped into the '90s Read more
Honor, the debut collection by Giovanna Randall, was inspired by Grace Kelly and Catherine Deneuve — along with a hint of Cyndi Lauper. No wonder, then, that NARS makeup artist James Boehmer went for the ultimate icy-girl look. "Giovanna wanted the girls to feel individual," Boehmer said of the concept. "We wanted the makeup not to look sunny and healthy, but a little cold." To create this Read more
When it comes to Alice Ritter, Fab is a big fan but I'd wager that I'm even more into the French-born designer's chic clothing. At yesterday's presentation, she showed off high-waisted trousers, a subtly ruffled violet dress that I'm dying to buy, and other Gallic-girl ensembles. Lead hair stylist Takamichi was inspired by easygoing French hairstyles of the '60s and '70s—think Jane Birkin and Read more
One of my favorite things to do is to watch a model's face go from nude to runway-ready, which is just what I got to do with Nars senior makeup artist James Boehmer. Erin Fetherston's collection was inspired by Juliet (of the Capulets), so James came up with a subtle, innocent face for the show. Fresh, young, dewy skin is essential to this look. James and his team used concealer only where Read more
There are just a few more days left of Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week, and one trend that's been going strong is vivid, richly-hued eye makeup colors. Seen on the runways of Honor, Ruffian, Thakoon, Charlotte Ronson, and Yoana Baraschi, the look has featured powerful palettes of bold coral, intense peach, fiery red, and even a little bright purple-pink.
