Nars Autumn/Winter & Spring Summer 2018 You Can Wear Now...

By Laura Medina


Before you jump onto Nars' current and future hot colors...this scribe wouldn't blame you...you still need a good base, foundation and concealer to dab and mask the boo-boos.

Nars may not be going around being "green" but he's the first to be fair about accommodating all sorts of complexions and shades, from the extremely pale and the deepest dark and everything and anything that falls in-between, where everybody is in.  Nars was the first to be fair, equal, all-encompassing, and square with equal quality makeup to all.

Yes, Nars is very much with the times. He was the first to use turmeric in his foundation without banging the "green" gong.  

Now with his current Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation, he includes a blend of raspberry, apple, and watermelon extracts help support skin’s elastic fibers to smooth and improve skin texture. Specialized Recognition Pigments fuse with your skin tone for your closest match yet, fighting oxidation and ensuring shade consistency throughout the wear.

Six brand new shades of NARS award-winning Radiant Creamy Concealer now have a total of 22 shades of this NARS cult classic.

The multi-action formula provides a natural, radiant finish with long-lasting results. Radiant Creamy Concealer also works as a second-skin highlighter and a natural-looking contour, enhancing from the inside out and delivering ultimate antioxidant protection to help shield skin against free radicals.

Now that you prepped and shape your canvas, you're ready to have fun with Nars Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer collections.
