Bowl cuts, pale lips and mascara only on half of the models lashes — oh my! This season Phillip Lim was so taken by Tao Okamoto’s signature mushroom-like bob and her “plain face” that he called her his beauty inspiration. Lim had all the models in his show wearing a Okamoto-esque wig (Okamoto was Lim’s opening model and the only one without a wig), and muted-mod makeup. NARS‘s lead makeup artist, Ayako, created the look which involved false lashes placed on the outer half of the bottom lash line. Then matte charcoal shadow was used with a wet eyeliner brush to draw lashes beneath and shimmering pink and gold shadows covered the lids. As for the lips, they were muted with NARS concealer and sheer matte foundation was used on the skin. To give a touch of shimmer to the matte skin, NARS Single Eyeshadow in Bombshell was brushed from the apple of the cheeks up to the temples for shimmer without pigmentation. How do you feel about this Okamoto-inspired look?
