The Summer 2011 Collection, created by Founder & Creative Director François Nars, boasts bright colors reminiscent of the tropics. Neon orange gives an unexpected pop of color along with bright white, coral and cantaloupe. The highlight, Cap Ferrat Trio Eyeshadow, fuses three cool-toned variations of teal for an effortless day-to-evening transition.

Franois once again turned to model Iris Strubegger for the campaign. Her intensely bronzed skin was the perfect accessory to complement the bright shades within the collection.
