What I have noticed with Catwalk looks that Nars designs is that he will usually focus on bold eyes or lips. He goes for very minimalistic looks and in 2014 for Marc Jacobs Spring 2015 show models went completely bare faced with not a single piece of makeup, he did this in order to make a statement.
“With Marc, we’re always very extreme. We either love the very crazy, wild look, or we like something very extreme. It makes more of a statement to send the girls completely bare,” said Nars. “I love seeing a girl with no makeup.”

"This goes back to one of the looks that I’ve always loved — bare skin, nothing on the face, lips or eye, just beautiful skin," Nars said in a statement. "I love makeup but I also love seeing women without makeup. To me, it’s a great way to show fashion ... I like the idea that what you see is what you get.”
I took inspiration from this and went for a "no makeup" makeup look. I picked Violette as my model as I wanted to use a dark skinned woman and I love the edgyness of her short hair. I think it fits in perfectly with the NARS style.
All I used was Mac Face & Body on the skin and dabbed on a satin primer to the cheeks to give it a naturally dewy finish. Everything else was really minimal so I wanted to add a pop of colour to the lips which contrasts beautifully with Violette's dark skin.
