Beauty and the Brand: Catwalk Inspiration

From looking through Vogue, I managed to find some of the catwalk shows that NARS have done the makeup for. I'd been struggling to find some, so this was like gold to me! Throughout every image, and like most catwalk images, the models face is emotionless, and they are mid walking. Below are the images from Vogue:

For this unit of catwalk, you could of created a 'behind the scenes' photo but I wanted to try to create my own catwalk and have the model look like she's either posing at the end or mid way walking. Obviously this is going to be difficult to create in a limited studio space. It'll probably take a few times but i think it'll end up working out well.

I did get some tips and help from the book, Vogue Beauty, on how to get flawless skin with the look of little makeup. This is the found this page:

For the two looks for catwalk, I knew I wanted them both to be completely different but also be similar to each other at the same time. I wanted to first image to be a strong over the top makeup look with big fashion eyebrows. This is the look that I created in my timed assessment, so I felt prepared to create and shoot this look. For the second look, I decided to take inspiration from Marc Jacobs/NARS catwalk of no makeup. Obviously no makeup never means no makeup, it tends to mean flawless skin. I do believe that Marc Jacobs/NARS catwalk show was done with very minimal to no makeup, but I want to create a beautiful image at the same time, and unfortunately, my model doesn't have the best skin.

I created two moodboards that include the makeup look, posing, hairstyling, the clothing, and the makeup products used. I wanted the first look to be a full makeup that a bit too much, but that's what catwalks are for, experimenting with different looks. My second makeup look is the complete opposite of my first. I wanted this one to have flawless skin and focus more on the models beauty than the makeup on top of it. However, my model didn't have the greatest skin so I did end up putting a lot of makeup on her face. Here are my two moodboards:
