Cable ties and naïve beauty at Christopher Kane SS2016

“She is a creation coming out of a destruction. A raw and undone girl, unaware about her own beauty. Bushy and feral brows and effortless skin. Naïve beauty that is childlike and honest.”

Marc Jacobs SS2016 disheveled party girls

We have seen plenty of blue aquatic eyeshadow down the runway this SS2016 season but, so far, the best look of all is the one showcased at Marc Jacobs. No doubt this is the most awaited backstage of NYFW and that is simply because Marc and NARS give beauty just as much thought as the collection. Back on the look, this time around the whole idea was to have party girls strolling down the catwalks looking “a little worn with too much mascara, just the right amount of colour, no foundation and dark circles under the eyes” as Dick Page said backstage.

Controlled, glossy skin at Opening Ceremony SS2016

The beauty look at Opening Ceremony SS2016 was all about skin. To counteract the geometry of the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired collection, James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry, wanted a look that was very controlled, with moisture and condensation on the skin for a beautiful sweat-glossy finish and nude, muted lip.

All about street vibes at Alexandre Wang SS2016

Back to the streets, back to the feelings and style of when Alexander Wang started. This was the briefing for the SS2016 beauty look, something that Diane Kendal for NARS Cosmetics, Guido Palau and manicurist Michelle Saunders translated in a row vibe: “the girls are meant to kind of look as they are, with a little bit of grooming but nothing ‘done’” as the makeup-pro said.

All that glitter, all that gold at Creatures of the Wind SS2016

What else could have started off NYFW if not a major beauty look courtesy of Aaron de Mey? Think about an explosion of gold glitter and black eyeliner. Think it bold and bolder. Now, that's what they ended up doing backstage at Creatures of the Wind: using NARS CosmeticS, the makeup pro created three versions of the black eyeliner and glitter combination. Some models simply wore black liner, thers had black liner and gold glitter up to their brows, while others had a double liner in black and gold.
