NARS Evening

My evening look was inspired by the Nars and Guy Bourdin Holiday collection 2013. I loved the combination of a heavy eye paired with a bold lip and it's interesting to see such a different look in comparison to his usual bare faced catwalk faces.

NARS hold more shimmery eyeshadow finishes than matte and it's deep purples and blues that come to mind when I think of the brand. I chose a selection of dark blues for my look and made it pop by adding a spotlight effect with a light shimmery eyeshadow in the centre of the eyelids.

I chose a sharp clean shape to make it more dramatic and give it some edge. With NARS I find it's either one way or the other, really subtle or quite bold and heavy.

I tried this eyeshadow look with both a nude lip and a red but decided the red really pulled it all together and finished off the look.

As for the hair, I wanted to pull it off the face but make it a little more glamorous so I curled it all and pinned it to the side to give it a little more movement without hiding the face in lots of hair.
