What you need to know about professional cosmetics NARS

IN RUBRIC "HOW TO COLLECT THE COSMETIC"We talk about interesting cosmetics - cheap, expensive, rare, beloved by makeup artists and bloggers, suitable for simple and complex makeup - and accessories for it.

NARS, more than some brands of professional cosmetics, focuses on the figure of its founder. Makeup artist Francois Nars not only gave the brand his name, but was and remains its creative director (in other words, he is one of those who decide what kind of cosmetics to produce) and a photographer of advertising campaigns. Before the first NARS products - 12 lipsticks - appeared in 1994, Nars managed to get an education at the Carita makeup school and work for more than ten years alongside people like Richard Avedon, Stephen Meisel, Mark Jacobs and Madonna. The reason why the make-up artist was puzzled by the release of his own cosmetics is easy to guess: like many colleagues, he was not satisfied with the quality and variety of tools of that time and decided to take matters into his own hands.

In 2000, the brand was bought by Shideido, and in 2002, the NARSskin line appeared. So NARS has a minimum care kit: moisturizing creams and gels, cleansers, serums and a mask. The brand also has brushes of both familiar forms and unusual ones (the line of dense Kabuki stands out in particular). With decorative cosmetics, everything is in order: there is everything for those who love both minimalistic makeup and solid.

NARS, among other things, is known for loving provocative names (in this they resemble Urban Decay). Peach, with a large number of Orgasm blush blush since 1999, have remained the brand's bestseller and have launched a similar line of similarly colored products: lip gloss, varnish, Multiple Multi Stick (think about the Multiple Orgasm yourself). These pigmented sticks, by the way, are also one of the brand’s pride items; more or less complete idea of their capabilities can be obtained from this tutorial. NARS is also an outlet for fair-skinned ones: the brand has enough tonal means with different effects, and the lightest shades are really light. You can also turn to it for bold blush and shadows: in addition to a number of basic shades, NARS has electrically bright colors that are usually not so easy to find.
