"The beauty look is very Marc Jacobs: edgy, cool, very underground with a touch of rock," says the makeup artist François Nars, who works exclusively with Jacobs each season. Naming Marianne Faithfull and Joan Jett as the muses for the smoky-eyed, monochromatic look, Nars says the process of arriving at this concept was quite easy: "We both love the '60s and '70s era. There were so many great characters at that time! The focus on black-and-white tones not only referenced the punk-rock chic inspiration, but was also a practical consideration. With the first part of the runway show taking place under a sepia glow, Nars needed to come up with an idea that would look striking in both types of lighting. "So we did a black smoky eye with white pencil used on the inner rim to make the eyes pop and look bigger, and the eyebrows are strong and defined," he says. The skin is totally matte, and at the last minute I put a little grease on top of the eye makeup and clear gloss on the lips so it looks like the girl went out, stayed out all night and got her makeup a little sweaty.
