In celebration of the NARS counter opening at the new Barneys New York location in Chicago, François Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics, will be making a special personal appearance – signing copies of his books X-Ray and Makeup Your Mind.

Barneys New York was the first store to carry NARS in 1994, 15 years ago, when François debuted his collection with just twelve lipsticks! X-Ray (1999), the wildly successful photography book and collector’s item, Makeup Your Mind (2001), the ultimate instructional makeup manual featuring the world’s most recognizable models, and the limited-edition NARS Loves Chicago Set containing an assortment of four classic products resurrected from the archives by François Nars specifically for the women of Chicago, will be available for sale at the NARS counter during this time.

Lancôme national makeup artist Tarek Abbas is Arlenis Sosa’s go-to makeup artist so it’s no surprise that he created the look for Arlenis on Monday evening.

To create a polished complexion, Tarek applied Arlenis Sosa’s and then added a touch of color to her cheeks using Color Design Cream Blush in Chic Cassis. To define her eyes, he used Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony on the lower lash line and applied Artliner in Noir to the upper lash line starting at the outer corner. Tarek wanted to give Arlenis a soft, shiny pout so he lined her lips with Le Lipstique in Sheer Chocolate, applied Le Rouge Absolu in Bordeaux and finished with a touch of Juicy Tubes in Dreamsicle.

Celebrity makeup artist Dara Klein created the look for actress Lake Bell.

Who was wearing Lancôme at the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards last night? Here is the inside scoop on last night’s makeup looks straight from the makeup artists themselves.

Celebrity makeup artist Sandy Linter worked with Michelle Trachtenberg. She accentuated the eyes by first applying Effacernes Waterproof Concealer in Porcelaine I as a shadow base, under eye base and skin corrector giving Michelle a silky soft complexion. Sandy then lined her eyes with Le Crayon Khôl in Black Coffee giving it a smudged effect for a soft contour. To accentuate her eyes even more, Sandy applied Color Design Eyeshadow in Click for a smoky look and Bikini Golden on the inside. She then coated Michelle’s eyelashes with Ôscillation vibrating mascara to give them an extended effect and finish the look.
