NARS created the look for the Tome SS 15 runway show

Show: Tome SS’15

Lead Artist: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry

LOOK: “The inspiration for the collection came from two Indian artists -- Rukmini Devi, a classical dancer and Dayanita Singh, a contemporary photographer -- who represent the richness and diversity of old and new India.  The look fuses traditional elements of the Indian culture and modern makeup. The skin is very matte, with a clean, liquid eyeliner on the top eyelid, no mascara. Some girls will have a pale, chalky-pink lip.”

SHOW: Creatures of the Wind SS 15

LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry

LOOK: “Skater boys were the inspiration for this look, it’s raw, a little undone and effortlessly cool.  The models looked great when they showed up for the casting—great skin, lots of freckles and a left over summer-vacation look to them, so we groomed the brows and gave the cheeks a flushed, overheated look.”
