Judging by collections coming down the runways at Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham, and, this afternoon, 3.1 Phillip Lim, the MVP color of fall 2015 may be the absence of color: black. It’s for that very reason makeup artist Francelle Daly decided to add a shock of pigment to Lim’s models. “The clothes were kind of like modern punk,” she said, and they set her reminiscing about a favorite early nineties counterculture accessory. “I remembered my old oxblood Doc Martens—I wanted that to be the color of the lips.” With the iconic footwear in mind, she selected a semi-matte lipstick, NARS’s new VIP Red, for the girls’ mouths, applying it incautiously without a brush the way a rock star like Debbie Harry might (no coincidence, since Blondie was later played on the runway). Daly left the rest of the face bare, save for a light reflective blush (the soon-to-be-released Nico) and dabs of color-correcting concealer. “She’s not a girl who sits in the makeup mirror—she comes in, brushes up her brows, and puts on a lip. That’s it.” Sounds like just the kind of beauty strategy we’ll be channeling come September.
