“Make-Up is a great accessory; That’s the message.”-Francois Nars
The Make-up at Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 RTW was out of control, in the best way possible. Jacobs was able to lure Francois Nars out of a TEN YEAR fashion show retirement and, together with Guido Palau, created a total 80’s club kid vibe. The hair and make-up complemented a collection full of shoulder pads, acid wash, studded leather, and velvet bustiers. Being a child of the 80’s, it’s so fun to see all this coming back in such a fresh way. Will I ever rock high-waisted acid wash jeans (again)? Never say never, I guess…
Hair that defied gravity, smooth skin and black rimmed eyes were unified elements seen on the runway.
Lids were either left bare or filled in with bold hues like fuchsia, emerald greens, bright blues, purples and even reds. Take a risk!“There is always a wide variety of colors. It’s what looks right on the girl.”-Francois Nars
Francois Nars is one of my Make-up GODS, and I’m so glad Marc Jacobs was able to get him back to fashion week. Who can say no to Marc Jacobs, right?
“Have fun. You want to play with make-up.” Francois Nars
The title of this post stems from one of my favorite books ‘Disco Bloodbath’ by James St. James which was turned into a movie titled “Party Monster.” It is the true life account of the rise and fall of 80′ infamous NYC party promoter Michael Alig, the “King of the Club Kids.” Check it out, it’s amazing (but not for the faint of heart, it’s pretty gritty). The looks from Marc Jacobs reminded me so much of this film, I can totally see the models strutting out of club Limelight in NYC rockin their shoulder pads and red eye shadow. Love it!
I hope you are all having a very colorful and fabulous day, dolls! XOXO, Liz

Ohmygod, I’m dying over this… there’s a serious level of ‘Killer Instinct’ that I just can’t resist! I’m thinking I really need to play around with this 80’s revival meets gravity untamed hair and makeup!!!
xxx-love to you
Totally amazing makeup….their eyes look HUGE! I LOVE that!!
I will try to have more fun with makeup for a girl’s night out. : )
Why do I have to be makeup challenged? I would look like a clown if I attempted any of those. Sad because I so love a dramatic eye!
Pure amazingness! I am so tempted to try a James Dean hairstyle now lol. The make up was so beautifully colourful
Hope you had a lovely Friday dear.
As a person whose all into the “natural beauty” and does minimal make up, every now and than you gotta spice it up!! And why not with loud colorful makeup??
PS…not looking to the 80’s fashion comeback but…power on to everyone who is b/c it sure is here!
OMG, soooooo 80’s!!!!!
Hope you’re having a fab weekend
xoxo
I wish there was an event someday where I could just pile on the makeup and not look out of place
Such as awesome post. Sometimes I don’t even notice the make-up on runways- I’m so glad you called my attention to it! I’ll have to check out that film!
“Hair that defies gravity” is totally spot on! I love the colorful make up, too. It’s almost cartoon-y!
really amazing post. Just had to tell you again.
