Did you know that designer Marc Jacobs requested NARS Barbarella Lipstick by used on the models for his A/W New York show?
NARS Cosmetics Founder and Creative Director, François Nars, reveals how he worked with Marc to create a such stand-out look.
“This look is what you’d see on a girl from the East Village or St. Germain des Pres-an existentialist with a modern twist,” said François Nars whose application technique included using his fingers to achieve the faded effect.
“These girls are sexy and cool. Their make-up looks dirty and worn out as if it has been on all night, but still translates beautifully on the runway,” Nars said.
Marc Jacobs’ Fashion Inspiration: “I was inspired by the film La Vie des Autres. I wanted the models to have a dirty look as if the hair and makeup had been slept in,” said designer Marc Jacobs.
