#NYFW Backstage Beauty: Helmut Lang Autumn/Winter 2014

There isn't much I love more than a sultry, soft smokey eye. Hannah Murray for NARS Cosmetics perfected this backstage at Helmut Lang's Autumn/Winter 2014 show. She said, "The Helmut girl this season is tough and masculine with a refined polish. I loved the idea of a rich burgundy wash on the eyelid giving a hint of punk in a very beautiful minimal way."
