This morning, NARS Cosmetics released images of the limited edition NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday 2013 collection. The NARS/Guy Bourdin connection runs long and deep — we’ve seen several Bourdin images used in NARS campaigns over the years.
However it was as a child, NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars first discovered Guy Bourdin’s work in the pages of French Vogue. It was then that Nars was first inspired to become a makeup artist. Today François Nars honors Bourdin’s legacy with an entire limited edition collection for Holiday 2013 displaying bold uncompromising color and high-impact finishes in shades that launch us into his intriguing, high-fashion world.
Here’s what we have to look forward to as released from the brand: 17 shades, which includes four nail shades, three blushes (including Exhibit A), and one new formula seen in the form of five eyeshadows and five lipsticks – the Cinematic formulation was created exclusively for the NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection. Eyeshadows have a velvety soft texture that glides on smoothly for high-impact color and statement-making effects. Cinematic Lipsticks impart brilliant, glossy shine with intense color saturation. Creamy and comfortable, Monoï butter and Vitamin E offer moisturizing and antioxidant/anti-aging properties, ensuring lips look well cared for and colorful.
