KDHamptons Beauty: NARS Cosmetics Spring 2015 Makeup Trends From Mercedes Benz Fashion Week In New York
In terms of Hamptons beauty trends, we don’t see a lot of really bold statements being made with makeup and hair choices. The look out here is decidedly soft, pretty, natural, and sun kissed. After spending over a decade working as a fashion editor in NYC for Allure, Glamour, and Us Weekly, I still love to follow what’s happening on the runways during New York, fashion week and the good news is that lots of the beauty looks trending on the runways right now actually will work well for Hamptons girls. Well, maybe except for the full double eyebrow piercings at Rodarte [see further below]. Remember, the best way to interpret a trend is to break it down and choose which elements work best for your face and Hamptons lifestyle.
Francois Nars is one of the best makeup artists in the world and his products are always part of my personal makeup scheme. Check out these backstage beauty shots from Nars featured makeup artists Francelle Daly, Uzo, James Kalliardos, and Diane Kendal who are setting the beauty trends this week at Phillip Lim, Tanya Taylor, Thakoon, and Rodarte along with the products you will need to recreate them.
NARS Cosmetics lead makeup artist Francelle Daly [above] created the look for the 3.1 Phillip Lim SS ‘15 runway show. “There is a lot of see-through transparency and airiness to the collection – I wanted that to come through in the makeup. My inspiration is sensuality; the way the morning light hits you as you wake up in your bedroom, with sensual skin beaming with rays of light. I highlighted the cheek bones, high planes of the face and the bridge of the nose to accentuate and bring out that glow in each girl.”
