I guess I should toss my bronzers and head for my Japanese rice powder make up if Marc Jacobs is any indication of Spring 2010 make up trends. The theatrical and ghost white faces were fascinating if not a bit frightening. Makeup artist François Nars gave models’ faces a pale, almost ghostlike appearance using Nars’ sheer matte foundation in Siberia, over which a loose powder (Snow) was applied.
Eyes were insanely intense and lined with Black Moon. As if that were not enough, the make up artists drew more black lines across the outer corners of the eyes with a liquid liner pen (Souxie and the Banshees anyone?). It was all topped off with Pandora, a white shimmer-and-black eye shadow duo (Pandora) and blood red lips.
“It’s very powdery, white, pale — nothing that looks like makeup,” said Nars. “The idea was Gothic, romantic, like ballet dancers coming off stage.” Crazy as it looks, I am kinda digging the return of 80′s Goth make up. If you saw me in 10th grade you’d understand. All products at Nars Cosmetics.
I actually quite loved this-
Unfortunately I decided see it translated on ethnic skin.
