BACKSTAGE MAKEUP/HAIR/NAILS NYFW SS'17:NOVIS

“The designers and I decided to bring an element of color to the look that would make a statement without being overpowering. Burnished glossy golden-orange eyes against nude luminous skin and lips complement the collection's bold color blocking, geometric floral prints and soft feminine silhouettes.” —Uzo, NARS International Lead Makeup Stylist
