NARS Summer 2011 Collection

  NARS has released last month its Summer 2011 collection,  created by Founder & Creative Director François Nars, boasts bright colors reminiscent of the tropics. Neon orange gives an unexpected pop of color along with bright white, coral and cantaloupe.

 Franois once again turned to model Iris Strubegger for the campaign. Her intensely bronzed skin was the perfect accessory to complement the bright shades within the collection.

 All good summer makeup collections should include at least one super-juicy lippie and one vivid shadow, and the latest from NARS doesn't disappoint: Their coral lip gloss called Wonder is so ripe it's bursting, and the Cap Ferrat eyeshadow is a hyper-saturated, surf-inspired trio. But there's more—the fuchsia Pure Matte Lip Pencil, pinky-plum Highlighting Blush, and shimmering green Soft Touch Shadow Pencil also bring the heat, and if you're not ready to ride the wave of high-wattage hues, NARS has you covered with two neutral eyeshadow duos and a perfect-pink Velvet Matte Lip Pencil that's certain to be a go-anywhere favorite.
