NARS 2012 Spring Collection

NARS 2012 Spring Collection. The Nars Spring collection officially hits stores today, and features an array of new products that are bright , playful and perfectly on trend for the 2012 SS season. Items featured in the collection include a new eyeshadow trio, a new blush hue, and of course new lipstick shades. Look below to see what's in the collection.



The Spring 2012 Collection, created by Founder and Creative Director François Nars, stars a mix of bright and playful colors balanced with rich, saturated hues. Nars chose to photograph model Ginta Lapina for the spring campaign, explaining, “Her delicate features and classic beauty made her an ideal fit for a collection that’s at once fresh and fierce.”

To achieve the makeup look in the campaign image, Ginta’s skin was made radiant with Santa Fe Sheer Glow Foundation and set with Eden Loose Powder to create an Immaculate Complexion. Next, Zen Blush was applied to the hollow of the cheek and blended toward the temple for contour; Gaiety Blush was brushed onto the apple of the cheeks for a pop of color.

After prepping with Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base, Lhasa Single Eyeshadow was blended onto Ginta’s lids, extending the color to the upper inner corner of the eye. Her brow bone was highlighted with Albatross Highlighting Blush before Dark Rite Soft Touch Shadow Pencil was swiped across the upper lash line. It was further defined with Rue Saint-Honoré Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner; a winged effect was created in the outer corner. The lower lash was lined with the same pencil and gently smudged. Brows were defined with Blondie Single Eyeshadow; lashes were curled, then brushed with two coats of Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara. Lips were lined and filled in with Amazon Lipliner Pencil, then topped with Valparaíso Pure Matte Lipstick and Misbehave Lip Gloss for shine. The look was completed with Écume Nail Polish on the nails.





Eyeshadow Trio ($45.00)



Douce France Shimmery icy pink, shimmery rose-petal pink, matte deep rose

Lip Colors Complimenting Brown Eyes

Lip Colors Complimenting Brown Eyes. If you have brown eyes, chances are that selecting a lip color that compliments your eyes would be quite an ordeal. The trick is to stay away from those frosty pinks and stick to shades that compliment your eye color, like deep red, cinnamon shade, terracotta, burnt coffee et al. Get into your favorite beauty products store and spend some time in trying the shades on. Since yours in a difficult shade to choose, you need to make sure that you try a shade enough number of times before actually buying it.



The following tips will help you select the best shades –

• Brown eyes need bright and happy colors and light up the entire face when paired with one. So, try cinnamon, coral or a lighter shade of geranium to get a different look.
• Bronze has been a lifesaver for people with brown eyes and if used with a green undertone, it can do wonders to your face.
• Muddy colors like Ochre and yellow with green hues are an outrageous faux pas for people with brown eyes. They make your face look pale and pasty, so stay away from those.
• Red is class and has been a must-have-in-your-makeup box color but if you have brown eyes, you need to be a little careful before going for it. Combine it with undertones of orange for an elegant look.
• Deep purple with a creamy texture or matte finish will look chic for the brown-eyed beauties.
• Golden reds and corals are good for golden brown eyes. Add some gold undertone and you have a winner look.

Finishing is almost as important as the color because it can make or break the entire look. Matte, Stain or Gloss finish can change the shade drastically but not every finish goes with every outfit. You can decide about the finish by looking at the accessories you are planning to wear with the outfit. Simply changing your favorite shade’s finish can give you an entirely new look and make people yearning to know your secret. However, keep it simple to keep it stylish and remember the golden rules of fashion to get the ultimate haute look.
