Beauty Buzz: Nars 2016 Holiday

 

There is a new Nars collection that is arriving for the holiday season!

  François Nars and fashion photographer Sarah Moon collectively worked from the nostalgic futurism of the film Metropolis to set the mood for the season's story. 

 

 

The Sarah Moon for NARS Gifting Collection includes ten gift sets: Glass Metropolis Mini Audacious Lipstick Coffret, Get Real Audacious Eye and Lip Set, Thousand Worlds Audacious Lip and Nail Set, True Story Cheek and Lip Palette, Look Closer Eyeshadow Palette, Shadow Side Velvet Shadow Stick Set, Non-Fiction Touch Up Kit, Nordstrom exclusive Recurring Dare Cheek and Lip Palette, and Sephora exclusives Mind Game Mini Velvet Lip Glide Coffret, and Give In Take Dual-Intensity Eye and Cheek Palette.

 

My favorites from the gifting collection are True Story Lip And Cheek Palette $59 and

 

Thousand Island Audacious Set $49 .

 

 

 

The Sarah Moon for NARS Color Collection includes four Moon Matte Lipsticks, two Blushes, two Duo Eyeshadows, two Kohliners, two sets of Eyelashes, and three Nail Polishes

For the holiday season the polishes are more entertaining for the eyes in shades FlonFlon, La Dame En Noire and Never Tame.

 

 

 

 

Backstage Beauty: NYFW Marc Jacobs SS'17

 

The most talked about runway show was Marc Jacobs SS'17, the creativity was brilliant and a showstopper for sure. Designers are allowed to be creative it's their art and the beauty looks were powerful as well.

François Nars, Founder & Creative Director of Nars Inspiration

"We matched the color of the eye makeup to the clothes and hair and created six different beauty looks using pastel colors. Lashes were applied to help define the eye, the face was kept clean with little makeup and the brows were brushed up and natural."

Signature Products Used:

FACE: Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, Soft Matte Complete Concealer (New for Spring 2017, for now try Radiant Creamy Concealer), Soft Velvet Loose Powder

EYE LOOK 1 - PURPLE: Desdemona Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow, Phoebe Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow

EYE LOOK 2 - PINK: Desdemona Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow, Phoebe Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow, Callisto Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow

EYE LOOK 3 - SILVER: Lysithea Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow, Interstellar Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow

EYE LOOK 4 - GREEN: The right side of Earth Angel Duo Eyeshadow, Tarvos Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow

EYE LOOK 5 - BLUE: Grande-Large Velvet Shadow Stick (New for Spring 2017, for now try Khao San Road Larger Than Life Eyeliner), the left side of Habanero Duo Eyeshadow

EYE LOOK 6 - COPPER: Mediteranee Duo Eyeshadow, Isolde Duo Eyeshadow, Persia Matte Eyeshadow

LIPS: Triple X Lip Gloss

Beauty Buzz: Nars Eye Lashes

If you're an eye lash lover get excited for May 1st because Nars will debut their own signature lashes for the beauty market.

The collection will feature 8 eye lashes to fit your personal needs at $20 online at their boutiques. Below are two images of lashes that range from simple everyday to most dramatic style.

This look Numero 1 is the every day lash designed by Francois Nars, it suppose to work well for every eye shape. Personally I am not a lash girl so I will just stick to full impact mascara.

 

 

The second lash gives more of an dramatic effect for those ladies who love deep volume. Numero 7 gives more of an intense length and curl which is great for a glamour face.

 

Will you be buying these or sticking to your budget lash brand?

Backstage Beauty: NYFW Nars + Marc Jacobs

Make those eyes pop like a rockstar just like Marc Jacobs 2014 Spring/Summer runway show. Lead artist François Nars who is also the fab Founder & Creative Director of NARS had his magical hands on the models and they all looked gorgeous. Plus the chopped hairstyles so fierce and edgy!

BEAUTY LOOK: "This is a summer look that's all about the eye. Most of the girls have a teal blue line, but some have a royal blue, extending past both the inner and outer corner. The skin is very transparent for a flushed look."

François Nars Personal Appearance At Sephora

 

In NYC FEBRUARY 23, 2011 - Makeup artist, visionary, and founder of NARS Cosmetics, François Nars, celebrated spring beauty today with a personal appearance at Sephora’s 5^th Avenue location.

Sephora’s Spring 2011 catalog was photographed by François and showcases spring’s biggest beauty trends. Sephora dedicated their spring windows to displaying the looks that he photographed. To commemorate the looks, NARS created three limited-edition sets available exclusively for Sephora.  Over 200 beauty addicts had the opportunity to meet François Nars and preview fashion forward looks, seen only at Sephora, where he signed the exclusive kits.

Boasting limited-edition products in each set, the highlights include the NARS Fashion Icon Set (a peachy pink collection); NARS Front Row Set (for a sophisticated, smoldering look); and NARS Fashion Forward Set (pairing spring’s purple eye with vibrant lips).

NARS makeup artists were also present for consultations and to recreate François’ signature looks on Sephora customers.

LOOK & INSPIRATION: “The look is very reminiscent of Angelica Houston in the 70s-the bleached brows and the deep eyes,” said François Nars. “I wanted them to look like iconic models from the 70s with a modern approach. Marc had images of what he wanted the makeup to look like – mimicking the colors of the clothing but not matching exactly.”

Below are some key products and steps for recreating the look:
Face:

-NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (NEW for Spring 2011-for now try a light application of NARS Sheer Glow Foundation)

-NARS Orgasm Blush

Eyes:

-NARS Night Porter Eyeshadow

-NARS Nouveau Monde Duo Eyeshadow (NEW for Spring 2011-for now try the olive side of Earth Angel Duo Eyeshadow)

-NARS Celebrate Soft Touch Shadow Pencil (New for Spring 2011-for now try the green side of Rated R Duo Eyeshadow)
