Sad update – June 2017 – NARS is no longer cruelty free – the company has decided to sell in China, a country that requires animal testing. Click here for details.
I saw Skyfall this weekend, and I loved the vampy makeup look on Bond Girl, Severine (AKA Bérénice Marlohe)! Skyfall makeup artist, Naomi Donne, tells Elle Magazine about Severine’s look:
I often shy away from doing strong makeup, because I feel it’s distracting or somehow stops you from seeing what someone is trying to convey. But in this case, it’s a part of her character. And it [creates] a huge comparison: when you see her without her makeup, she becomes incredibly vulnerable without it.
Naomi used Chantecaille gloss and black NARS eyeshadow to create the vampy lip look. If you’re going to try the dark cat eye look, she recommends blending it out to a pointy shape on the sides. Severine’s ’50s style dragon nails were painted in burgundy polish, “Skyfall,” created for the movie by OPI with gold on the back of the nails. You can read more about the makeup she used in the full article.
In a tribute to James Bond, check out Votre Vu’s cute how-to video. It includes hot dudes in suits fighting while a model in an evening gown gets her makeup done by pro makeup artist, Kristina Brown. Enjoy!
I am in love with the lip color. Gorgeous!
I know this is yonks old, but she wore the Chantecaille gloss on the boat with Bond (when she wears the red dress) – I actually have the same gloss and it’s a clear, sparkly one, while the one in the casino scene is a dark, matte lipstick (I suspect it’s NARS’ Train Bleu – I did a similar look with MAC’s “Desire” layered under bareMineral’s “Daredevil” lip gloss).
