As our fearless editor-on-the-ground, Laura Cassidy, reported yesterday from the front row of Rodarte, Kate and Laura Mulleavy's Spring collection was inspired by The Spirit of the Beehive, a 1970's Spanish film with two young sisters (and their charming childlike imaginations) at the heart of the story.
Runway image: Indigital Images All Backstage Images: Masha Maltsava How to get the radiant spirit look:To play off the youthful and dreamy vibe of the collection, James Kaliardos at NARS created a makeup look that's fresh and radiant-but it's not about going bare-faced. The trick is his genius combination of products to get a natural glow. Because some of these items won't be available until February 2017, we substituted your best bets for the here-and-now.
- Prep skin with NARS Skin Luminous Moisture Cream and NARS Skin Total Replenishing Eye Cream to minimize dryness, puffiness and circles.
- Pat concealer gently under the eyes to reduce the evidence of a late night (not uncommon during Fashion Week). NARS is coming out with a stellar new matte option in the spring, but NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer will work beautifully.
3. Even out your skin tone with a dime-sized dollop of NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. The sheer formulation is just right for a fresh-faced effect. Plus, you get the added benefit of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30).
3. Kaliardos applied blush (try NARS Illuminator in Orgasm) high on the cheekbones with a swipe of Dual-Intensity Blush in Craving (left side of the palette) as a highlight.
4. Make eyes pop with a swipe of St-Paul-de-Vence from the NARS Duo Eyeshadow palette (the darker shade) brushed on lids and brow bone. Next, apply Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Rue Bonaparte along the top lash line. Along the bottom lash line, apply Mediteranee eyeshadow and smudge with your finger.
5. Swipe on a coat of NARS Brow Gel in Oural to tame stray brows.
6. Finish the look with NARS Audacious Lipstick in Natalie.
