Lower lashes are all the rage — at least among some makeup artists this New York Fashion Week.
For Jeremy Scott, the look was exaggerated. The makeup team, led by Kabuki for MAC Cosmetics was inspired by symbolism and idolatry, he said. “There was a photo of Shelley Duvall, I think from Nashville, with some single eyelashes. There’s a lot of imagery of idolatry like from Elvis to Jesus all mixed up together. So there was a little bit of the statues of the Virgin Mary and the color palette that would be used there — sort of salmons around the eye, pinks, rosy cheeks and sort of a waxy texture to the skin.” To get the look, he cut up MAC’s #7 false lashes and glued individual pieces to models’ lower lash line.
Over at Tadashi Shoji, Pep Gay for MAC drew on lower lashes with black pencil, filling the space in between them with glitter. “Tadashi got inspired with his collection by Jimi Hendrix, the late-Sixties, early-Seventies women’s liberation and all that fun around that,” he said.
For LRS, Erin Parsons dipped lower lashes in silver glitter.
