NARS Fall 2009 Collection reflects a sort of ying and yang approach to beauty; a makeup collection that reflects both the fragility and strength of the modern woman, according to François
Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics.
The edgy and alluring Fall '09 look begins with the ultimate bedroom eyes. A harmony of champagne and charcoal eyeshadow hues built to a sultry finish. A soft, sheer complexion paired with a sculpted, flushed cheek. The primary focal points: bold deep-plum-tinted lips and tips.
The NARS Fall 2009 Collection includes:
NARS
Fast Ride Lipstick - 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. I will definitely be getting this lipstick. Love it! $24
NARS
Silk Road Duo Eyeshadow - This new shade mirrors the hues from traditional damask
fabrics. Classic meets edgy in this new duo — an icy pink is paired with
a warm rose gold with golden flecks. $32
NARS
Brumes Duo Eyeshadow - These new hues perfectly capture the moody shades of a cool
twilight sky. Brumes pairs a velvety matte charcoal with a sparkling, blue
state for a smoky eye that is both confident and serene. These shades are my favorite of the Collection. $32
NARS
Indian Summer Duo Eyeshadow - A typical Indian summer comes as a surprise, balmy sunshine
meets brisk fall. Swipe the summery, frosted champagne shimmer up to the brow,
and line the upper lid with the autumnal deep, matte mustard for a striking
look, appropriate for every season. $32
NARS
Mekong Single Eyeshadow - This is the perfect addition to the NARS woman's adventurous
palette. The intense, blackened espresso hue scattered with rose gold is a
study in contrasts. Applied liberty across the lid it exudes a sexy attitude,
or applied lightly, a simple, fashion-forward sophistication. $22
NARS
Tokaido Express - 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. This shade of nail polish is gorgeous...definitely want this! $16
The standouts for me in this collection are the Fast Lane Lipstick, the Brumes eyeshadow duo and the Tokaido Express nail polish.
