The Look: Inspired by the New York night club scene of the ’70s and ’80s. Francois Nars, Creative Director and Founder of the killer makeup line Nars was on hand backstage to create this flashback to the era of everything bright and bold. While the look was theatrical, it was important to keep the models beautiful, said Nars.

Thick, black eyeshadow was circled around the eye with added touches of green, cobalt blue, vibrant fuschia, bright reds and a hint of glitter. With all this attention to the eyes, perfect skin was key. Bold, darkened eyebrows and colour along the cheekbones completed the nightclub pop look.

The Scene: Beauty phenes would drool over the oodles of makeup displayed amongst the tables. Lipsticks, blushes, foundations, candy-coloured eyeshadows, you name it and it was there.

The Lesson: What recession we say! Go bold, experiment and have fun with makeup this fall.
