NARS, like Tom Ford, is getting steep in Hollywood.
He currently has Oscar-winner, Tilda Swinton as the marble-sque face for his new foundation and nude-based but contoured Spring 2015 Collection.
All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation
The Spring 2015 Color Collection features Tilda Swinton in the second of four
‘Portraits by The Artist’, a seasonal series of acts created by NARS Founder and
Creative Director François Nars. Act 2, is a nude scene– daring, baring, anything but neutral.

Disrobed tones in spectral effects expose a new natural state. The look begins with a provocative pink shimmer on cheeks. The barely-there effect extends to eyes, where a bold beige base sets the stage for burnished neutrals with lucid depth. Lips are undone in tan pigments topped with a whisper of opalescent gloss.
While NARS is known for daring color, this collection shows a different side of the brand’s ethos. As François explains, “I
think a woman can look very beautiful not wearing any color at all but
just neutral shades of beiges, browns, and ivories. You can really
sculpt the face in a very beautiful way without always having to use
bold shades. That’s what this collection is all about.
I thought it was very fresh and surprising, which is what I always love
to do: surprise people.”

If wet/dry eyeshadows are the hottest thing on the shelves, NARS' Dual-Intensity Blush is the next step up.
Instead of two different powdered blushes where one compact is light and the other compact is the deeper shade, in one NARS Dual-Intensity Blush, you can wet one blush for a deeper, more opaque shade and texture while keeping the same shade of blush dry for the a lighter color impact and airier texture.
While you watched Lady Gaga belting out "Sounds of Music" showtunes...and owning them, she was wearing NARS for an elegant, ladylike look that the Oscars demand.

SHOW: Naeem Khan AW ‘15
LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer for NARS Cosmetics
LOOK: “Naeem is celebrating his 10th
anniversary this season. He wanted the makeup to be dark, sensual and
incredibly glamorous. I thought about the artwork of Tamara de Lempicka.
The women depicted in her paintings still seem so modern, and I
borrowed colors from her signature palette. The eye is architectural yet
soft- a smoky eye without any hard edges or strong definition- and
without mascara or brows. The lip is a deep matte chocolate red that is
classic Naeem. Skin is glossed and shiny on the cheekbones to add
dimension without color or depth."
