Get Noticed This Spring with NARS' Spring 2010 Collection

Spring has sprung! At least in NARS' HQ it has. Available January 15^th, NARS' Spring 2010 collection features soft and sexy shades, that were inspired by a young Catherine Deneuve in the French film, La Chamade. The colors are as elegant as they are versatile. Amber Valletta serves as the face of this campaign and looks nothing but stunning in the promo for the collection.

“I love Catherine’s makeup look in this movie,” says François Nars

“It’s very sophisticated and bourgeois in a Parisian ‘16th Arrondissement’ way. She is the perfect reference for this collection, and apropos for spring, a time to embrace color and get noticed.”

As a French film buff, I might sweep up this collection simply because of the inspiration... the deliciousness of the colors help too ;)...

The hues are playful yet sophisticated and can be either soft and subtle or bold and daring. As always, the effects are limitless, determined by application, technique, and attitude.

NARS Cruising Lipstick ($24)

A subtle yet sexy pink lipstick that provides a sheer natural long-lasting color. The hydrating formula can be worn alone, or over a NARS Lip Pencil for variations in color and depth. It’s neutral enough to pair perfectly with dramatic eyes, yet alluring enough to attract attention on its own.

NARS Lip Gloss ($24) in Easy Lover

Serious luster meets sexy color in this ultra-sheer hot pink lip gloss. The eye catching and refreshing springtime hue is perfectly suited to deliver super shiny, sensual lips. An extra dab of it in the center of the bottom lip will accentuate sheen and fullness. It’s impossible to resist.

NARS Lip Gloss ($24) in Ophelia

This high-shine strawberry nectar lip gloss is deliciously sweet and seductive. Wear it alone, or over NARS lip products for a more intense effect and color variation. The glossy formula will capture both the light and the attention of admirers.

NARS Purple Rain Nail Polish ($16)

This intensely gothic purple is a bright and audacious shade that is destined to become a cult favorite (you heard it hear first). Boasting a long-wearing formula, this intense nail hue vacillates between opposites: rocker or royalty, rebellious or refined.

NARS D. Gorgeous Single Eyeshadow ($23)

This dusty lilac powder eyeshadow yields just a hint of flirtation, but never misses its mark. The long-wearing eyeshadow promises to be a crease-resistant matte formula that boasts a translucent texture and can be applied sheer, or layered with other NARS products for a bolder result.

NARS Camargue Duo Cream Eyeshadow ($32)

Named for the deep, dancing, sun-cast hues found in the French river delta, this pairing of golden moss and sienna, with multi-colored reflections comes in a soft-blending, glistening cream eyeshadow formula. Wear it alone or layered beneath NARS powder eyeshadows to create more color, depth and intensity.

NARS Kuala Lumpur Duo Eyeshadow ($32)

Like its Malaysian city namesake, this perfectly harmonized gold infused rose and boysenberry pairing is influenced by contrasts—rich and subtle, traditional yet modern. Wear the two shades separately or together, sheer or layered for a more dramatic effect. Try swiping one shade over the entire eyelid and applying the other just beneath the brow bone to highlight.

NARS Glitter Pencil ($24) in Bains Douches

This bright sky blue, silver glitter-infused hue delivers powerful, vibrant color that slides on smooth and remains creamy for blending. Use this glitter pencil layered or alone—to line, accent, highlight or illuminate the eyes. No matter how it’s used, the look will be as ultra-chic as the legendary Parisian nightclub for which it was named.
