in Spring
Nars new Spring 2011 makeup collection at first glance is a bit of shocker. I thought to myself…What no blushes? That was a bit of downer but I quickly cheered up because this 11-piece makeup collection is still one to love especially with its neutral, earthy tones with metallic finishes, its cool blues and purples, their lovely pink glosses and overall, its mixture of neutrals and brights. I am so wanting the eyeshadow duo in Nouveau Monde. I love the olive gold and metallic lilac shades. Simply gorgeous. Oh..and might I also add that throwing in that exotic green shadow pencil was surely unexpected. Francois Nars never keeps it boring.

NARS Vintage Nail Polish Collection for Fall 2010
I’m so loving this new vintage nail polish collection from NARS. The colors are gorgeous especially the first shade-Mash. I also like how they used classic movies as the major theme in the collection.

Imparting an initial high gloss luster that is water and detergent resistant, these vintage polishes are being brought out from the archives for a limited time.

NARS Cosmetics introduces its Pure Matte Lipstick Collection tomorrow, September 1st. The campaign features Canadian model Heather Marks and is photographed by the Creative Director and Founder- Francois Nars. Under his direction, makeup artist Diane Kendal created a makeup look that emphasized a bold and matte lip. The end result…audacious, sultry and sophisticated.
“A matte lip is very modern, whether nude or deeply pigmented. Try a color close to your skin tone for a universally flattering look. Pair darker hues with a fresh complexion and little makeup. But, always choose a formula that has hydrating ingredients to condition lips.” -François Nars, Founder & Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics
Pure Matte Lipstick ($25.00)
- Volga Deep aubergine
- Bangkok Soft rose
- Tonkin Cinnamon plum
- Terre de Feu Black cherry
- Tashkent Nude beige
- Vesuvio Full bodied red

The campaign shots for NARS Fall 2010 collection has been released and it looks like will be seeing a lot more of heiress Daphne Guinness. The full collection will make its debut July 15th at Narscosmetics.com before arriving at other stores in August.
The eye shadow shade named for Guinness is a rich, royal purple. “When I started thinking about colors that meant Daphne to me, purple felt right — and when I tried it on her at the shoot, I immediately knew it needed to be named for her,” said Nars. Guinness wears it in the campaign along with Mangrove, a new eye shadow in an yellow-green hue; Douceur blush, a soft pink-brown, and Rouge Basque Lipstick, a “quintessential red” inspired by the French Basque region. The eye shadows will each retail for $23, the lipstick for $24 and the blush for $26. “Daphne’s like a painting in this image,” said Nars, who used a set of mirrors to reflect Guinness’ image from every angle. “Since Daphne was the inspiration for the campaign, I thought, ‘Why not have more of her?’” — WWD
She looks amazing and I love that purple eyeshadow. I can’t wait to check out the collection!
