1q1u_CMFashionShotDay_1Beauty Inspiration: “It’s extremely light and sophisticated,” said Georgie Eisdell about the NARS look she created for Carey Mulligan. “We used a very fine liquid liner to create definition along her lashes, and polished the look with a light lip that has a bit of pink color but isn’t heavy.”

1q1u_CMFashionShotNightBeauty Inspiration: “It’s a big statement for her and we wanted to keep this look as modern as possible,” said Georgie Eisdell about the NARS look she created for Carey Mulligan. “I’ve only once created a red lip with her, but I loved the idea of contrast with the pale pink dress. I felt strongly about that being the focus of the look. I knew I wanted to go bold when I saw the dress. I thought a red lip would be so striking.”

NARS Boys Don’t Cry, Rotonde Blush Palette Swatches & Review – Pierre Hardy for NARS

NARS has an artsy mini-collection that recently released inspired by the Pierre Hardy Summer 2013 Shoe Collection which includes six Nail Polish duos and the two blush palettes featured today in Boys Don’t Cry and Rotonde.

IMG_4011What Sephora says about the NARS Pierre Hardy Blush Palette:

What it is:
A collection of ultramodern blushes with the signature Pierre Hardy pattern.

What it does:
Inspired by his 2013 high-fashion shoe collection, Pierre Hardy infuses his color palette into nail polish pairs for NARS for an ultramodern coupling of conceptual color. Presented in the spirit of his signature shoebox packaging, high-voltage blushes go graphic with shimmering pressings of the avant-garde designer’s iconic prints.

IMG_3673 IMG_3677 IMG_3984 IMG_3989 IMG_3996 IMG_5237(L-R: Rotonde, Boys Don’t Cry)

Boys Don’t Cry – pink grapefruit

IMG_4025Rotonde – tiger lily

IMG_4024Both blushes are highly pigmented, especially Boys Don’t Cry.  With Rotonde, all I needed to do to get the perfect amount of color was lightly tap my blush brush in the palette, dab on my face and blend.  With Boys Don’t Cry you have to be even more careful… Dab in, blow off the excess and then dab and blend.  The formula is blendable, smooth and wore throughout the day.

Clearly the golden geometric pattern is an over-spray and disappears after the first use, but the golden shimmer doesn’t make the shades look garish at all once it’s mixed on top (the blushes appear more matte than anything).

The compact is a little larger than you’d be used to with a NARS blush, but comes in the same type of packaging – rubber black with the white writing and a mirror inside.

For more information on this collection, please see the Official Press Release.

The Pierre Hardy for NARS Blush retail for $41.00 each and are available beginning May 1 at narscosmetics.com as well as at Sephora, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Ave and Bloomingdales.  All items in this collection are limited edition.

1q1u_StellaBeauty Inspiration: “Stella was the inspiration behind her own look – you can just understand why she’s a model,” said Uzo about the look she created for Stella Tennant. “With such ornate tailoring from Christopher Kane, and really exquisite earrings, we needed to keep the look clean. It’s all about healthy luminous skin with a simple statement on the eyes and a next-to-nothing lip. It’s balanced, and stunning, like Stella.”

1q1u_Karen2Beauty Inspiration: “The Julien Macdonald dress that Karen is wearing is so incredible on its own- I didn’t think the makeup should be a distraction or too literally “punk,” said NARS Director of Global Artistry James Boehmer on the look he created for Karen Elson. “The bonus is that she is wearing a septum ring- a nod to the punk era, so we chose a look that’s quite healthy and radiant, with a defined eye and a grape-stained lip.”

Makeup Artist: Benjamin Puckey for NARS Cosmetics
1q1u_solange2Beauty Inspiration: “I really focused on a strong eye with punk influences for Solange’s look. The smoky eye gave an edge to the whole look, which is very much what she’s into right now – a smoky eye with lots of lash. We felt it complemented the dress so well because of the black and blue print and chose a nude lip to keep the focus on the eye.”

To create strong eyes, we used a plum pencil that is both intense but beautiful. No matter what the theme, I always want Sarah Jessica to look beautiful, so we softened the intensity of the eyes with a light mouth – Tender Night Velvet Matte Lip Pencil was the perfect, modern, approach!”
