Beauty Find: NARS Summer 2010 Collection



NARS never disappoints and this collection is a mixture of brightness mixed with subtlety wrapped in a wash of coral.  The collection also has many cream based items (which I love).   Creamy based products are always great for warmer weather. The creator, François Nars looked for inspiration from the character Sèverine, played by Catherine Deneuve in the iconic film Belle de Jour.  “Her character is incredibly beautiful and elegant,” says François. “Her look is effortless—she has an incredible inner sophistication.”

The collection is designed to play well on a wide range of skin tones and let women’s natural beauty shine through.I designed the makeup to bring a natural-looking glow to the skin, while allowing women to have fun with color. After all, summer is a playful season, nothing should be too complicated!”  I agree, the last thing I wat to do in the summertime is wear overly caked up , complicated makeup.
The Rundown:

To Buy List:

  • Enchanted ($26)  This soft-peach cream blush delivers a hint of shimmer and smooth, silky color for a luminous complexion. The vitamin-enriched formula is long-lasting and blends easily for a sheer flush and healthy, glowing summertime skin. It’s sure to attract, entrance and delight.
  • Burn It Blue ($32) An iridescent ocean-blue paired with turquoise creates a lively duo cream eyeshadow. The soft cream formula can be applied with the fingertips or a brush for more precision. Swipe one shade over the eyelid or layer one upon the other—the overlay is delicate, yet striking.
  • Cayenne ($22) This spicy, deep brown cream eyeshadow is even hotter than its namesake spice. The intensely rich shade is tempered by a weightless texture, making it a versatile summer option. Use it to line or swipe it across the entire lid. Apply it sheer or layered for more color, intensity and pop.
  • Love Devotion ($24) This nourishing, long-lasting sheer guava lipstick delivers a subtle and glistening color. Lips will be soft and sumptuously in season.
  • Coup de Coeur ($24) Just like the French phrase it’s named after, this shiny, sheer apple-brandy tinted lip gloss is sure to yield love at first sight. The convenient wand application is perfect for adding gloss throughout the day for ultra-tempting fullness.
  • LAMU ($38) My all-time favorite, The Multiple is now available in a fresh, glazed-apricot shade. It’s gold sparkles create shimmering accents and gives a glowing complexion. The lightweight, foolproof color is quick and easy, and takes the guesswork out of what goes where.
  • Versailles ($16) This regal, opalescent, champagne-gold nail hue shimmers, creating a light-catching tint. The durable formula creates a gilded sophistication and a majesty that’s very modern.
NARS Summer 2010 Collection is available now at NARSCosmetics.com and should be on counters soon.
Stay gorgeous Ladies!
