NARS Sheer Matte & Sheer Glow Foundation

NEW NARS Sheer Matte & Sheer Glow Foundation: In both art and beauty, a superior canvas is key. And only the most refined foundations are capable of transforming skin into that ideal canvas. François Nars, pioneer of modern makeup, reinvents advanced formulas that conceal imperfections and even out skin tone for an ultimate immaculate complexion. Introducing Sheer Matte and Sheer Glow: the next generation of sheer foundations infused with exceptional radiance.

NARS Sheer Matte Foundation – $42

While transparent enough to allow skin’s natural hue to remain visible, it is still matte at heart, which means weightless, luster-free coverage. This velvety oil-free formula boosts brightness and radiance, improving skins texture. Packaged in a stylish frosted bottle, it distinguishes itself from its Sheer Glow counterpart.

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation – $42

An ideal solution for those looking for a foundation that is more dewy than Sheer Matte. The formula glides on easily and imparts a satin-soft, glowing finish. Skin will even-out and gleam with overall brightness; radiance and sleek texture will be restored.

Available in 20 shades, Sheer Matte and Sheer Glow, will be available at Nordstrom beginning August 1st and on www.narscosmetics.com  beginning September 1st.

NARS Fall 2009 Collection

Fall’s runways were dominated by two words: bold and feminine. Strong shouldered and form-hugging silhouettes, extreme heels and provocative thigh-high boots, and a color palette of classic hues turned up a notch to Technicolor volumes. These trends also illustrate the NARS Fall collection.

“For this collection, I wanted to create something fragile and strong, and seductive but not aggressive,” said François Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics. The combination of strength and refinement has become a hallmark of NARS, and is particularly fitting this season as the brand celebrates its 15th anniversary.

Below are the highlights:

NARS Fast Ride Lipstick – $24: This seemingly dark purple may intimidate, but swipe it across the lips and its true shade is revealed: a sheer mulberry. A color that falls somewhere between an intense plum wine stain, and a moody, deep violet.

NARS Tokaido Express – $16: This new hue is a cult classic in the making. Named after Japan’s most heavily frequented high-speed rail route, this lacquer is an opulent blackened amethyst doused with ultra-fine gold dust particles.
