Hey Everyone!
NARS has always been one of my favourite brands and when they landed in Singapore, I was just too excited. For the NARS Spring 2013 collection, you’ll be able to look forward to fresh, fierce, strong and sexy colors. Focused on the 90’s era, the collection boasts lots of fun colors like pink, rose, fuchsia, earthy copper and even parakeet green. Here’s the low-down on this season’s collection available at NARS at Tangs Beauty Hall.
The face behind the collection is Stella Tennant who is known for her bold style and beauty. There’s a lot of power with a play up of the spirit of the 1990s and even though the look composes of very strong colors, Francois NARS was able to play it down on the cheeks and with stained lips. Francois NARS personal favourites are the Dressed to Kill lipstick (my favourite too), Bouthan and Mad Mad World eyeshadow combos.
Let’s take a closer look at the collection:
Bouthan is named after the South Asian country wedged between China and India and features a soft pink paired with a bright pink shade that has gold shimmer. It is a beautiful soft color and I love all NARS eyeshadows, they are amazing. Another eyeshadow duo is the Mad Mad World featuring a parakeet green paired with a cyan blue – the perfect peacock combo right? Corcovado is a soft touch shadow pencil in the color of 24 karat gold. It is best for creating color intensity under an eyeshadow, or as a liner to accent.
Seduction is a sexy and strong blush that is great more pigmented on darker skin or even with a light hand, great for fair skin tones as well. It’s more of a dark raspberry and has great color payoff. My ULTIMATE favourite of the lot has to be the Dressed to Kill lipstick. I’ve been wearing it for a while now – actually make that everyday – and I love the “it feels like I’m wearing nothing” on my lips feeling and it is the perfect shade of color of me as it is able to define and brighten my complexion. Dressed to Kill is a fuchsia rose lipstick with gold shimmer and it is absolutely amazing. Persia is a single eyeshadow and is a matte, paprika coloured eyeshadow while Cythere is a velvet gloss lip pencil inspired by the Greek Aegean Island.
The last is the Disco Inferno nail polish which is also a beautiful mix of blue and green shimmer. It’s incandescent and changes color as you move your hand. It’s so pretty and has a silver to it as well! I tried it on at the preview and was blown away.
Overall the NARS Spring 2013 collection is really something to look forward to so hop to the counter and check it out. The colors are amazingly pigmented and I am so in love with the Dressed to Kill lipstick!
