Listen, when it comes to affordable beauty launches, there’s nothing quite like a new range of Nars cosmetics – not least one with a strong, glamorous theme.
Paying loving, almost wistful, homage to skiing, the slopes and the art of après-ski, the latest Nars holiday collection is brimming with frosted finishes, subtly sparkling formulas, and rich pink blushes. If anything can chase away the impending winter blues, this is surely it.
Arctic Lip Sheen
Nars
Do not fear; the Arctic Lip Sheen is not a blue lipstick. In fact, it’ll be a different lip shade on everyone. How? It adapts to your skin’s natural pH to deliver a subtle blush shade shift, a shade that's totally yours. Colour aside, this product brings with it a soft sheen and comfortable texture with each swipe.
Après Ski Cheek & Eye Palette
Nars
Embrace alpine glamour with this one-does-it-all palette from Nars. With a blush, highlight and a number of eye-frosting shadows, this palette is here to help elevate your look from piste to party in just one easily stowable product. Plus, who’s to say you have to use the highlight as a highlight? Anything can be an eyeshadow if you’re ambitious enough, I say.
Light Reflecting Prismatic Powder
Nars
If you’re not interested in looking luminous and subtly sparkling this winter, look away now. This new powder shade – Eternal Snow – is a unique pastel-shaded powder, marbled throughout with champagne gold sheen, to deliver a glowy complexion.
Line & Shine Lip Duo
Nars
Lip duos are nothing new, but this Nars offering? It’s both poised and playful – and oh-so-affordable at £30 for the set. Available in your choice of three colourways, this ‘line & shine’ lip duo brings both crisp definition and a glossy sheen to your lips for a finish as polished as fresh snow.
Mini Insatiable Liquid Blush Duo
Nars
I’ll hold my hands up – I’m a sucker for a liquid blush. Offering a set of two-in-one, this mini ‘Insatiable Liquid Blush’ duo has been designed to recreate the blushed red tinge of the nose and cheeks that we get after coming inside from the cold. Plus, thanks to their uber-lightweight formula, each creamy drop of the product melts onto skin for a vibrant, dewy finish that moves with you.
