For over 40 years now, Phyto has brought to you a range of hair care inspired by nature. The first brand to ever use plant extracts within their hair care, Patrick Ales, Phyto’s creator took his experience from working within the hairdressing industry to inject nature into hair care.

Believing that we should ‘live and work in tune with, rather than against, nature’.

Before Patrick Ales even thought about Phyto, he created and patented the modern day blow-dry technique, with celebrity clients like Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve and Jacqueline Kennedy all coming to Ales for the loose hair style taking over the world.

BLAKE LIVELY

Makeup Artist: Elaine Offers for NARS

Beauty Inspiration: ” It starts with Blake’s signature approach: luminous beautiful skin,” said Elaine Offers about the look she created for Blake Lively. “We created a serious eye shape as a nod to the punk theme by building on a smoky eye and winging it outward. With the diaphanous layers of her skirt and a light lip, it comes together as being both glamorous and edgy.”

Products Used: 

Mesopotamia Eye Paint (NEW for Fall 2013; for now try Bali Single Eyeshadow) Ubangi Eye Paint (NEW for Fall 2013; for now try Dark Rite Soft Touch Shadow Pencil)

SARAH JESSICA PARKER

Makeup Artist: Leslie Lopez for NARS Cosmetics

Beauty Inspiration: “I had to make the punk look glamorous,” said Leslie Lopez about the look she created for Sarah Jessica Parker. To create strong eyes, we used a plum pencil that is both intense but beautiful. No matter what the theme, I always want Sarah Jessica to look beautiful, so we softened the intensity of the eyes with a light mouth – Tender Night Velvet Matte Lip Pencil was the perfect, modern, approach!”

Products Used:

Calabria Soft Touch Shadow Pencil

Gaiety Blush

Tender Night Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (New for Summer 2013)

SOLANGE KNOWLES

Makeup Artist: Benjamin Puckey for NARS Cosmetics

Beauty Inspiration: ” I really focused on a strong eye with punk influences for Solange’s look. The smoky eye gave an edge to the whole look, which is very much what she’s into right now – a smoky eye with lots of lash. We felt it complemented the dress so well because of the black and blue print and chose a nude lip to keep the focus on the eye.”

Ubangi Eye Paint (NEW for Fall 2013: Available September 1; for now try Dark Rite Soft Touch Shadow Pencil)

Het Loo Satin Lip Pencil

EMILY BLUNT

Makeup Artist: Jenn Streicher for NARS Cosmetics

Beauty Inspiration: “It was Emily’s idea to do pink!” said Jenn Streicher about the look she created for Emily Blunt. “Her dress was black so we decided to bring out the theme of the gala by playing up her hair and makeup. This was pretty daring – we wanted it to be punk yet glamorous.”

Products Used:

Jardin des Plantes Satin Lip Pencil (used on eyes)

Desire Powder Blush (used on eyes)

Biscayne Park Satin Lip Pencil

Makeup Artist: Erin Ayanian for NARS Cosmetics

Beauty Inspiration: “It was important for us to create something in harmony with the Rodarte looks that Elle and Dakota were wearing,” said Erin Ayanian about the makeup look she created for the Fanning sisters. “Dakota’s look is softer, but Elle’s is more tribal. We referenced the 80s film, Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains.”

Makeup Artist: Uzo, NARS International Lead Makeup Stylist

Beauty Inspiration: “Stella was the inspiration behind her own look – you can just understand why she’s a model,” said Uzo about the look she created for Stella Tennant. “With such ornate tailoring from Christopher Kane, and really exquisite earrings, we needed to keep the look clean. It’s all about healthy luminous skin with a simple statement on the eyes and a next-to-nothing lip. It’s balanced, and stunning, like Stella.”

KAREN ELSON

Makeup Artist: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry

Beauty Inspiration: “The Julien Macdonald dress that Karen is wearing is so incredible on its own- I didn’t think the makeup should be a distraction or too literally “punk,” said NARS Director of Global Artistry James Boehmer on the look he created for Karen Elson. “The bonus is that she is wearing a septum ring- a nod to the punk era, so we chose a look that’s quite healthy and radiant, with a defined eye and a grape-stained lip.”

Your thoughts:

As soon as I heard the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette was being released, it instantly went on my wishlist! I love my Naked palette so I had high hopes for number 2, and it definitely delivered. It has a range of matte, shimmer, golden and silver shades that are all very wearable!

I have created three looks for you today using eye shadows only from the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, and of course my trusty Urban Decay Primer Potion!

The first look is what I would go for if I wanted to wear eye shadow in the daytime. It’s natural with a slight smokey, shimmery feel.

Left to right – Foxy, Chopper, Suspect, Snakebite

I used Foxy all over my eyelid and up to my eyebrow. I then applied Chopper to the outer half of my eyelid and Suspect to the outer corner and crease. I popped Snakebite along my upper lash line and buffed it in. I kept the underneath of my eye completely clean as this is a daytime look!

Look two is a purple, smokey eye. I don’t usually go for colours on my eyes but these plum colours are so wearable!

Left to right – Tease, Busted, Bootycall

I used Tease all over my eyelid up to my crease. I then applied Busted to the outer corner and crease of my eye and used Bootycall as a brow bone and inner corner highlight. I also popped Blackout on my upper and lower lash line which I forgot to swatch on my hand. Oops!

This last look is incredibly pretty!

Left to right – Verve, Pistol

I used Verve all over my eyelid up to the crease and this colour is so pretty! It catches and reflects the light incredibly beautifully. I then just used Pistol to darken up my outer corner and smoke it out a little.

I really hope you enjoyed my eye makeup looks! I hope you are all having a lovely day and this has given you some ideas for looks you can create yourself.
