Recreate beauty looks from the runway with these new tutorials
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Cosmetics brand Nars has premiered online video tutorials, giving viewers the lowdown on how to achieve the looks seen at the 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc Jacobs, and Thakoon fashion shows.
Called "Runway, Real Way, Nars Way," the new series is a bid to regain control over independent beauty bloggers' tutorials who have become so important in fact that personalities such as Michelle Phan have been signed on to consult for beauty brands (in this case Lancôme).
Fitting in with the 'real women trend' in beauty (Bobbi Brown's Pretty Powerful campaign, Dove ads), Nars makeup artists show interpretations of the runway beauty looks for everyday, demonstrated not on models but average-looking women - sometimes Nars staff.
The move follows similar launches by Dior Beauty and Stila, which have both introduced specially designated tutorial channels, and labels such as Smashbox and Bobbi Brown uploading instructive videos to YouTube.
