Diane Kendal for NARS Cosmetics at Thakoon S/S 10

Trend: Luminous skin and contoured cheeks

Inspiration: The inspiration behind the collection came from the idea of "samurai-meets-surfer." The collection consisted of so many sharp edges and aqua-blues that deisgner Thakoon wanted the girls to look like warriors so that they could really wear and carry the strong clothing. With such bright colors, the goal was to keep the face a bit more monotone overall but still to impart strength around the eyes and cheekbones.

Look: A very strong and luminous face is the key to getting this look right. “It’s a beach warrior look - surfer girl meets Seven Samurai," explained lead artist Diane Kendal. She used a minimal amount of makeup everywhere, but contoured the cheeks and kept the eye deeply set to convey an image of power through minimalism.

Face:
Apply NARS Sheer Matte Foundation to conceal imperfections
-To achieve luminosity, apply NARS Orgasm Illuminator (NEW for Spring 2010) to the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin
-To contour and sculpt the cheeks, apply NARS Malaysia Multiple Bronzer and blend into the cheek bones
-Highlight the cheekbones and nose with the white side of NARS Hungry Heart Blush Duo

Eyes:
Apply the brown side of NARS Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow on the entire eyelid up to the brows
-Blend both NARS D. Gorgeous Single Eyeshadow (NEW for Spring 2010) as well as the light pink side of NARS Kuala Lumpur Duo Eyeshadow (NEW for Spring 2010) into the crease, outer eye and up towards the brow bone.
-Apply NARS Bali Single Eyeshadow to the upper and lower lash lines as well as to the crease in the eyelid, blending with the other shadows to create definition.
-Dust NARS Night Snow Single Eyeshadow in the corners of the eyes

Lips:
-Mute lips by using NARS Concealer
-With your finger, apply NARS Ophelia Lip Gloss (NEW for Spring 2010) to the center of lips

Ugh I LOVE this. I have a feeling the new NARS Spring collection will kill my wallet.

Oh and I wish you were here in NYC, Annie - Bergdorf has their $25 off $100 special on the beauty floor and I was there today. I saw Edward Bess on the phone and automatically thought of you =)
