Nars was backstage at Phillip Lim, where lead artist, Ayako, International Makeup Director created a look centered around "poetic mod-rock" with wispy lashes and translucent matte skin. Phillip wanted the makeup to be fused together with a mod style and a touch of rock n' roll. Skin was made flawless with the newly formulated sheer matte foundation (hits counters in fall 09) and a gentle sweep of shimmer was added to cheekbones to catch the light. Then on eyes a Nars Glitter pencil in Danceteria was applied to lower lash line and smudged with fingers to bring out the gold shine. On top of that Ayako layered a new fall eyeshadow duo called Silk Road and used the rose gold with golden flecks side only.
Here's where it gets edgy. She cut a set of false eyelashes in half and apply to the outer half of the lower lashes. Then with a wet eyeliner brush she used a matte charcoal eyeshadow and drew on lash shadows on outer half of lower lashes as well. Each of the models were wearing blunt bob wigs with really severe bangs and she wanted to keep the attention to the lower part of the eye. Look how amazing the makeup was on the runway. Glitter, lashes and rock n' roll, it all works for me!
