NARS Cosmetics

Created by French makeup artist François Nars, the brand may sit under Japanese beauty powerhouse Shiseido today - but NARS itself is not a Japanese brand; it was born from Parisian artistry and New York attitude. Alongside its trailblazing colour line, NARS now brings its effortless aesthetic to skincare too, with NARSskin delivering velvety, hydrating formulas like the Luminous Moisture Cream for soothing, glow‑reviving results. And with celebrity admirers known to favour Radiant Creamy Concealer, plus red‑carpet makeup artists stocking NARS foundations, powders and signature shades in their kits, it’s easy to see why both seasoned NARSissists and newcomers fall quickly under the brand’s spell.
