NARS’ West Coast Senior Makeup Artist, UZO, had the essence of Audrey Hepburn in mind when she put together the makeup look for this show. The result was a fresh spin of this oft-emulated look. Do this, and you to can have a fresh gamine look that Audrey herself would have approved of.
Any good makeup artist can duplicate a look from a photograph. Only great makeup artists can take a look, apply their own spin and create something modern and new as UZO did.
She successfully referenced Audrey by duplicating her classic, blood red lips and modernizing the look by doing-away with the tricky black eyeliner. We’re confident that this is a look that will be hot for fall and will work beautifully with the sophisticated clothes we’re looking forward to wearing come September.
How to get the Audrey 2007 look:
To wear UZO’s interpretation, you’ll need to do a few things and a few new pieces of makeup.
#1: Grow your brows-in. Fill-in in only the patchy spots with a combination of powder and pencil, as the pencil’s wax makes it stay on.
#2: Line lips with Amazon lip liner and fill in with NARS Shanghai Express lipstick.
#3: Use NARS Kalahari eye shadow duo, but you’ll have to wait until fall for NARS to release it.
