Exclusive Interview With François Nars

Contributed by Daily Makeover's Amber Katz:

I don't have to tell the makeup obsessed gals that you are about what a legend François Nars is. For beauty junkies, his technicolor makeup products are the cosmetic equivalent of baseball cards. I recently had the chance to sit down with this superhuman talent and pick his brain about everything from how he keeps track of his inspired product names to his favorite makeup item of all time.

Daily Makeover: What is your all-time favorite beauty look you've ever created?

François Nars: My first favorite look is one that I brought back: False lashes. Twenty years ago, when I worked a lot with Steven Meisel, I brought back a very 1950s and 1960s eye liner effect. That was a time when you wouldn't see many false eyelashes. Mascara, yes--lashes, no. Another favorite: The ones I created for the Marc Jacobs fashion show in February 2009--a myriad of night clubbing visages. That was a great show and it was so much fun to create the makeup concepts for it.

DM: What the trick to creating a bold lip look?

FN: I stay away from rules. Rules get boring. You know? Too cliché. You can do a smokey eye and a red lip. It reminds me of the Helmut Newton photos from late 1970s early 1980s. There was no blush, just a deep-hued eye and strong lip. Helmut didn't like blush. The application is all about the way you adapt it. Some women look better with a pale lip, so it's more about what the woman individually can get away with. Get creative. Makeup is a way of expressing yourself. Try something else in front of the mirror. Simple as that. It's my goal to give women more freedom.

DM: What is your favorite eye shadow for creating a smokey eye effect?

FN: I like the dustiness of the NARS Cosmetics Brume Eye Shadow Duo. It almost looks bad in the pan, but on, it looks foggish and fantastic. It makes the eye pop, particularly if you have light eyes. Strong, obvious colors don't necessarily do that.

DM: What's the story with your Schiap lipstick and nail polish shade? Why do you think it's so iconic for your brand?

FN: It's named after Elsa Schiaparelli, the designer who's also the grandmother of Marisa Berenson. She invented the shocking pink in the 30s, which propelled her to fame. "Schiap" was her nickname. We worked hard to make it as close as possible. It's a bright bright bright pink--not Barbie pink, nor Pepto Bismol pink.

DM: What is your go-to red?

FN: NARS Cosmetics Semi Matte Lipstick in Jungle Red is my favorite. Even if it stops selling, it should remain. That name is so iconic because of the movie The Woman. NARS is the only one with that name. Jungle Red Lipstick launched with the original 12 NARS lipstick shades at Barneys, which were the original pieces of the line. It is a signature NARS red--stocked with rich, intense pigment and a semi-matte finish, it is a classic, perfect crimson.

DM: What is your single most-used makeup item?

FN: NARS Cosmetics Satin Lipstick in Honolulu Honey. This beigey-nude shade has been used in countless shoots, shows and ads. This shade also launched with the original 12 shades at Barneys. It is a perfect warm nude because it has just the right amount of yellow and pink. The combination of shades along with its sheer finish makes it ideal for all skin tones.

Sandra Bullock at the Oscars: Get the Look

Best Actress Sandra Bullock was styled by Abergel for Fekkai who wanted to bring back simplicity, with Sandra’s sleek and straight down-do. The strong side part created beautiful lines to compliment her dress. He modernized the texture of the hair by creating a sleek look, with a slight wave at the end.

Conditioned hair is very important for any sleek style. Abergel used Fekkai Advanced Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner, leaving the conditioner on for 15 minutes. He then rinsed and towel dried the hair. Then he parted the hair in a deep side part. Adir recommends following the arch of your brow to choose where to part your hair. He then took a large Fekkai Round Brush and blow-dried the hair completely straight, making sure the roots were flat. Then spray with Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray to 2” sections of hair from roots to the end and use a flat iron to get a bone straight effect. To finish the look, Abergel took a 1 1/4” inch curling iron and lightly curled the ends of the hair for a nice slight wave and tucked the bangs behind the ear. To complete the look he added the Fekkai Silky Straight Ironless Smooth Finish Serum to create a sleek finish.

How to Get Shine Long Curly Blonde Tailor Swift Hairstyles

Tailor Swift Hairstyles

Tailor Swift’s hair is absolutely envious. She might jump out of her normal routine and wear it flat and straight, which looks fine, but her hair is naturally curly. Those ringlets you see on the red carpet are hers. Yeah, I’m jealous too!

You’ll hardly ever see the pretty singer without getting an eyeful of those gorgeous curls. Sometimes she manipulates them into being tight or loose, but they’re never too big or too little. They’re always just right.
Tailor Swift’s Lovely Curly Hair

Of course, she doesn’t just wake up and have perfect hair, though it looks like she does. If you’re wondering how to get that effortless, tame ringlet look, try these pointers:
For naturally curly or wavy hair, use a leave in conditioner. You can even mix it with your favorite texturizing product. Apply it from the ears downward; leave the top alone.

To prevent frizz, don’t touch your hair while blow drying. Use a long finger diffuser attached to your blow dryer and go through your hair slowly, not combing but supporting strands so that they can dry evenly. If your hair is thin and needs volume, bend over at the waist and blow dry your hair from the roots up.

If your hair is naturally straight, you’ll need a curling iron to get this look. Try something with a barrel that’s at least 1” thick. You don’t necessarily have to have tight curls; remember the looser they are the more natural it looks. Finish it off with a good natural hold hairspray. If you need shine, you can add a drop of serum to the roots, but let the curls shine on their own.

Your Stylist: Short hair styles you won't regret cutting

Amen! The grass is always greener when it comes to girls and their hair. When it’s all grown out, you are inspired to get a cute bob cut, but when it’s chopped, all you want are your long and lovely locks back. It seems you just can’t win. But the best thing is to embrace and be thankful for your healthy hair and go with the cut that suits your face and style best.

Since you are confident with a short hair cut, here are some styles that I personally love:

Michelle Williams has a great short cut that isn’t a pixie but still has that gamine appeal. She’s got long layers on top and piecey strands on the side and back. She still seems to be able to tuck her sides behind her ears and sport different parts to be more sophisticated and dramatic for night and easy and casual for day. To me, this just looks like one of those cuts that gets better the dirtier it gets, so by Day 3 of no washing you still look amazing and chic.

Get Ashley Greene's Look for the Eclipse Premiere

Artist Vanessa Scali used mark cosmetics to create Ashley Greene's look for the the Twilight Saga: Eclipse premiere at the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival. “We wanted to create a soft, glowing goddess look to complement her beautiful Alexis Mabille Couture dress. The overall look was golden skin, soft blushed cheeks, champagne shimmer and a softly lined eye.”

Face
”I prepped Ashley’s skin by applying mark Primed for Perfection Face Primer all over Ashley’s face to create a nice, even canvas. I like the skin to look flawless but real, so I always use foundation and concealers sparingly. With Ashley, I used mark Speedway Do Everything Makeup in Natural. I applied it with the mark Foundation Brush and then blended it with my fingers. Using my fingers to blend heats the product just a bit and leaves a seamless finish. Next, I applied mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium under her eyes.”

Cheeks
“I wanted to create a nice luminous glow, so I started by applying just a touch of mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter in Natural to the top of her cheekbones, down the center of her nose and the bow of her top lip. Next, I applied mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Glo to her temples, under her cheekbones and under her jaw line to lightly enhance the bronze in her natural skin tone. Lastly, I used mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Peachy on the apples of her cheeks for the perfect healthy flush.”


Eyes
“For Ashley’s eyes I started by using mark I-mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Nomadic to create a champagne shimmer all over her eyelids and under the bottom lashes. Next, to define and elongate the lash line, I lined her upper eyelids with mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner and Shadow in Entourage (Black Shade). For a touch of added depth, I used mark Get in Line Hook Up Waterproof Eyeliner in Painted Black at the very base of her lashes. I finished with a few generous coats of mark Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara in Black.”

Lips
“For Ashley’s lips, I started by using a dab of mark Kiss Dry Goodbye Lip Smoother to give her lips a touch of moisture. I then used mark Kissink Liptint Marker in Berry to define the outer edge of her lips and smudged the color into the center.”

Celebrity Hair Updos

Easy Curly Hair Updos: If you are in a rush and can't manage your curly hair, then here are easy updos for curly hair that will save you from a bad hair day. Use a thick tooth comb or scoop your hair using your finger and settle them down on top of your head in a loose bun, using a rubber band. Take out some few wavy strands from sides to soften your look, and few small strands of your hair near the nape of your neck. This messy updo will give a casual and sexy look.

Here, is another quick easy updos idea if you have very curly hair which is unmanageable. Comb your hair, and side part them. Then form two French braid styles on the sides, and form a longer simple plait using the rest of the hair. Then roll the plait on your head to form a bun, and secure it with hair pins.

Curly Hair Updos for School: If you are looking for some cute curly hair updos, then use these ideas. This curly updo also works for very short hair. Comb all your back and secure them in a tight curly hair bun, at the top of your head. Then use some cute silver headbands or hair accessories. If you have short curly hair, then don't tie it in a bun, just comb them back and secure it with the headbands.Curly Hair Updos for Prom: If you are looking for an elegant looking updo for prom then use these ideas. Scoop all your hair, and separate the top and bottom hair, then tie the top hair in a bun, and leave the rest of the hair open. This half updo hairstyle looks great with dangling earrings.

Jessica Simpson’s With White Short Hair Style

Jessica Simpson’s tousled waves made her win as one of the 5 winners in the hottest hair in Hollywood. Jessica’s hair has bits of layers reaching below the shoulders. Her hair is slightly layered with a few short strands around the face.

These strands turn into a longer length at the back which moves the hair out of her face and stay in a much better position at the back. In this hairdo, there is no need to blow-dry the hair to be smooth. It’s good to retain the natural wave that holds the curl.

You can start the process by using a mousse in dampening the hair. When it’s time to diffuse, you can use your fingers to tousle the hair instead of using a round brush which can cause hair straightening. This way, the navy texture of the hair is retained.

If you want to simulate a natural curl pattern, you can use 2 sizes of curling irons, size of 1” and 1.5” barrels. Use the larger iron at the top portions of the hair starting from the temple to make a volume and a looser wave. Have a random curl sections to exude a slight casual and natural appearance.

Hot Short Hair Styles For 2010

It seems that early on, the year 2010 is again witnessing the grand comeback of shorter designs. It is once again invading the fashion scene, the result of which you can see so many people (famous or otherwise) sporting much shorter hair than what they - or the people around them - are used to.

Hot Short Hair Styles For 2010

And as these popular new "dos" made their way to the Internet, a lot of women are beginning to realize how much more convenient it is to have short locks; perhaps because besides being trendy, short hairstyles are easy to manage. The big plus is - it looks so sexy and is definitely IN.

If you imagine that shortened cuts simply imply a single specific cut or length, you can start rethinking now.

There are actually three categories by which you can classify short hair:

• super short
• jaw length
• and chin length short hair styles.

The versatility of these styles goes well with added color and the chic and feminine effect is simply amazing. You'll know what I mean when you go over these hot short hair styles for 2010.

The Bob

This is one of the hottest items in the hot short hair styles for 2010 list. Bobs are so versatile it suits every shape of face. If your face is round, you can go for the longer cut. The effect is stunning because it elongates your face just a wee bit; and give it a slimmer look.

Do you have straight hair? Then Bob is ideal for you. To achieve that that appealing combination of girl-street-urchin-boyish, face hugging outcome, make sure that the longest strand of hair is just about one inch above the chin. If your texture tends to be on the wavy side, you will have to use a good straightener to achieve the desired effect because the Bob requires the hair to be very, very straight.

If you have very fine tresses, try blunt Bob as it will make volume seem thicker. Ask your stylist to create a few bangs and provide a blunted line just right above your brows. Watch that you don't get a more severe fringe because it can sharpen the overall appearance. Have a trim every six months and keep it in shape. You can always use a flat iron after you blow-dry.

Overall this design does not require long hours to manage and style. A simple blow dry and brushing (or combing) is so quick it only takes about 20 minutes or so, and you're done! Although the upkeep is quite minimal, you do still have to visit the hair salon at least once a month to ensure that the glow and enhanced appearance of your hair stays that way.

Angelina Jolie Hairstyle - Haircut

The shape of the face is the most fundamental feature that will determine the most flattering hairstyle. It is not the ears, eyes, or the lips that will help a woman determine the best haircut for her. This means that if a woman has prominent pouting lips, it does not automatically allow her to copy the Angelina Jolie hairstyle. Lips can be factored in later to resolve little details of the hairstyle. But the shape of the lips is not the deal breaker, not even for the Angelina Jolie hairstyle.

Angelina Jolie's unique face shape

Most hair stylists would insist that there are only few basic face shapes, and these are the heart, the diamond, the oblong, the round, the oval, and the square. Unfortunately, in the real world, an individual person's face shape could not be easily categorized.

Most faces are combinations of two or more of these basic shapes. And the shape of Angelina Jolie's face is a great example. Luckily, the Angelina Jolie hairstyle in 2008, as seen in the movies "Wanted" and "Changeling," was able to bring out the best of her unique face shape.

What is Angelina Jolie's face shape? Due to her "strong woman" roles that began in the Tomb Raider movies, it is easy to magnify her strong jaw line and assume that she has a square face. But Angelina Jolie also has the classic features of a high forehead and high cheekbones that make other people believe that she has an oval face shape. This is not exactly correct. The length of the oval face should be 1 ½ times longer than the width measured at the cheekbones. Angelina Jolie's face does not quite meet this criterion. Her face is wider than the normal oval face.

Oval faces can get away with many hairstyles, including angular bobs and blunt bangs. Angelina Jolie could not get away with bangs. This is why no Angelina Jolie hairstyle will include bangs that cover the entire forehead. It would make her face look wider, and the effect would be utterly appalling. There should be no Egyptian princess hairstyles for Angelina Jolie.

Picking the right length and texture for Angelina Jolie's hairstyles

With the ratio of the length and width of her face, Angelina Jolie's face shape is a combination of oval and square. Combined face shapes are tricky to style, but Angelina Jolie's hairstyle manages her face with flying colors. Since the upper part of her face is dominantly oval, all Angelina Jolie's hairstyles ensure that nothing covers the forehead, except for the occasional side-swept bangs. And since the lower part of her face is dominantly square, all Angelina Jolie hairstyles have soft waves. The strictly square face, such as that of Demi Moore, can get away with boyish short cuts. Angelina Jolie's hairstyles should not follow suit. For example, Angelina Jolie tried short hair in 1995 in the movie Hackers. It was not flattering.

The shortest Angelina Jolie hairstyle is the one that she sported in the movie Changeling. The hairstyle, of course, is utterly feminine with its wild abundant curls. The curls, with their free movement, throws soft shadows on her square jaw line. With this in mind, all of Angelina Jolie hairstyles have bodies that tend to curl. But is it always necessary to have curls that can soften the jaw line? One Angelina Jolie hairstyle that does not have curls covering the jaw line was in Tomb Raider. But remember that she has two thick strands of hair falling in front of her left face that diverted attention from her square jaw.

Angelina Jolie's hairstyle compliments face shapes that are combinations of oval and square. The open hairstyles and absence of bangs accentuate the eyes and flaunt the best features of the forehead and cheeks. The curls and the longer hair lengths soften the square jaw line. And since the face belongs to Angelina Jolie, with the famous pouting lips and mysterious cat-like eyes, the effect the hairstyle is that of a confident and sensual woman.
