Nars Attack

Utter the word “Nars” to any self respecting beauty junkie and you will probably get one of three replies; “Laguna” (the perfect bronzer) “The Multiple” (the greatest all over colour) or “Orgasm”, (the world’s most flattering blush, that mimics the flush of, well, you know…).

Francois Nars’ eponymous makeup brand is one of the most coveted cosmetics lines in the world, based largely on the popularity of the afore mentioned products, but well supported by the rest of his stellar range.

His latest launch, the “Fall 2009 Collection” celebrates 15 years of Nars colour and is filled with the kind of cult hits we’ve come to expect from the reclusive makeup maestro (he spends most of his year hiding away on a Pacific island).

The on-trend deep plum coloured “Fast Ride” lipstick swipes on as a beautiful sheer lip stain, while the glittery black-amethyst nail polish “Tokaido Express” is another cult-classic in the making. Bold eye shadows in various shades of gold, as well as deep inky navy (so much more flattering than black), complete the collection.

Amazing colours combined with that signature white on black packaging? Just try and keep this on the shelves…
