Fall / Winter 2015 saw Francois Nars iconic look come to Marc Jacobs catwalk. Gorgeous matte skin with a brown eye and dark lip brought attitude to the winter collection.

François Nars (Nars): “I always try to build a strong look. One of the first things I heard from Marc’s mouth was this idea of a sophisticated woman, with of course Diana Vreeland as a base and the book Swans—taking it from there and making it more modern and more edgy. Whatever you do, make it something eye-catching. We have a very dark eggplant lip, very matte—no gloss. There’s also a matte face with no shine and very structured eyebrows, not too thick and not too thin, just a very defined line. We’re using this beige-taupey color, which becomes kind of silver almost because we’re applying a lot of gloss over the eyelid. Absolutely no blush or mascara, just to bring a little bit more strangeness to the eye. Because the lips are so important and intense, it’s important to balance and do something that’s not too obvious, cosmetic, traditional, or commercial.”
Dark, dramatic and glamorous was the main focus of this makeup look. The hair was brought to the top of the head and twisted which gives the connotations of a head wrap. The hair almost acts as an accessory as the only jewelry seen is a choker. From the neck up no jewelry is used which makes it seem as though the hair pulled forward is the main focus and any other accessory would take away from the fierce effect created. I love how fierce the makeup appears to be whilst having feminine floor length skirts. A strong look but chic.

I based my timed assessment on Marc Jacobs and took inspiration from the sleek hair and glossy eyes.
