Get The Look: Jennifer Lawrence at The Hunger Games Premiere NYC
I’m half-way through the third book right now, and I cannot wait to see the movie. More than anything else: I want to see Katniss brought to life via Jennifer Lawrence. She looked amazing at the NYC premiere of the movie, and Matthew VanLeeuwen for NARS used the following products to create the look: FACE [...]
NYFW – Backstage at Marc Jacobs
I’ll be totally honest – I’m not a fan of this look but it’s Marc Jacobs whom I love, and Francois Nars himself did the look. Where did it come from? “Marc didn’t want the makeup look to be too couture, and with the hats by Steven Jones framing the face as they did, we [...]
NYFW – Backstage at Thakoon
This look is too pretty to pass up. Nars did the makeup for Thakoon at New York Fashion Week and the colour of the lipstick they used is beyond perfect. It’s the perfect mix of fuchsia pink – the colour of the lipstick is Heat Wave. Amazing. The artist was Diane Kendal for NARS Cosmetics, who said that “Thakoon [...]
Nars for Rodarte Spring 2012
Rodarte marches to the beat of its own drum, and so their Spring 2012 makeup doesn’t follow usual spring trends. That’s a good thing. This look is beautiful and you can do it anytime. Incidentally, I do a navy shimmery smoky eye all the time because it goes rather well with brown eyes. Products used [...]
Nars Makeup at Naeem Kahn for Spring 2012
I usually don’t take that much interest in the makeup from Fashion Weeks, but this year is different. There are a ton of looks that are so beautiful and wearable and good for next spring and right now. In particular: what Nars did at Naeem Kahn. Kahn’s inspiration was a sophisticated Spanish woman, and the [...]
New! Nars Larger Than Life Lipgloss
Launching August 1st, exclusively at Sephora, is Nars’ Larger Than Life Lipgloss. Available in 9 colours, this lipgloss is said to naturally enhance volume. It’s a big of a stickier formula than the original Nars glosses, and kind of reminds me of Lipglass. The formula is super shiny and stays put for a long time. [...]
Polish Swatch – Nars Kismet
Kismet was part of Nars’ Summer 2011 collection and is a jaundiced gold colour. The polish is pigmented enough – 2 coats to opaque coverage which is nice. The shimmer is soft and pretty which I love. It kind of looks like my nails are glowing. Honestly, I didn’t love the colour when I first [...]
Nars Ecume Swatch
Nars Ecume isn’t quite a white, but more of a greyish white. It’s a colour that I really wanted to love, but unfortunately, it was just too opaque and creamy for me, even though that’s something that I usually look for in a nail polish. The colour was just too much like white out and [...]
Nars Make Up Your Mind
Legendary makeup artist, Francois Nars, launched his new book last week, titled Make Up Your Mind: Express Yourself. Retailing for $50 this book takes real people (really!) and infuses them with glamour through the application of makeup. When I say that these people are real, I mean it. They aren’t models with super high cheek [...]
