Duran Duran's second studio album RIO has a track called the Chauffeur. The song the Chauffeur is one of my favorites the music video is shot in black & white.Almost as if Duran Duran breathed life into a Patrick Nagel painting. The interesting tidbit about it is Duran Duran never appeared in the video. So my inspiration comes from the video vixens there are two main women who are I guess telepathically conected by a broken mirror chard that tells them to meet in lingere an dance in a parking garage. There hair is slicked back an there make up is a heavy liquid eyelined eye. The refrain of the song is " Sing Blue Silver" I thought the eye should reflect it .
Now that you have watched the video listened to the song. This is what I came up with .I also wanted to do a modern take on the makeup look. Very bold Nagel like eye was really came to mind.

So there you have it the Sing Blue Silver inspired eye. I hope you enjoy it ! Next post will be about an art exhibit touring the country. Its a photo essay on eating disorders. Look forward to sharing that with you.
