NARS Summer 2012 Collection

The Summer 2012 campaign was designed and photographed by NARS
Founder and Creative Director François Nars. Once again, the inimitable Ginta
Lapina personifies the look.
To begin, St. Moritz Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF30/PA+++ was applied
to the center of the face with the fingertips and blended outward, then set with
Eden Loose Powder to create an immaculate complexion. To lend the skin a
light bronzed look, Laguna Bronzer was dusted onto the face in the shape of a
‘3’, starting at the forehead, swept on to the cheek, and then along the jawline.
The apples of the cheeks were warmed with Liberté Blush and the face further
defined by softly dusting Taos Blush along the hairline.

A mixture of the silver and icy peach shades of Ramatuelle Trio Eyeshadow were
brushed onto the lid and blended up into the crease. The apricot shade of the
Trio was added in to the crease, with the silver shade swept along the lower lash
line. The upper and lower lids were lined with Via Veneto Larger Than Life® Long-
Wear Eyeliner. After curling the lashes with an eyelash curler, two coats of Larger
Than Life Volumizing Mascara were brushed on to the lashes.
Finally, the lips were lined and filled with Borneo Lip Liner Pencil—blending with a
finger to soften the color. Moscow Pure Matte Lipstick was applied, then topped
with Risky Business Lip Gloss for shine.

RAMATUELLE

Named for a village in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of southeastern
France, this elegant Trio Eyeshadow combines two shimmers—silver and icy
peach—with a matte apricot for a unexpected warm-cool take on a neutral
palette. Each shade is universally flattering alone or layered upon one another
for a unique, refined look.

MARIE-GALANTE & CALABRIA

MARIE-GALANTE
Named for the Caribbean island in the Guadeloupean archipelago, this Duo
Eyeshadow is an iridescent combination of orchid paired with regal blue and is
at once both soft and striking. Wear layered for a look that really pops.
CALABRIA
This versatile, shimmering plum Soft Touch Shadow Pencil is the ideal
complement for color on lids. Named for the region south of Naples, at the
“toe” of the Italian Peninsula—it can be worn solo, as a base for powder
shadows, or as a liner.

VENDANGES & LIBERTÉ

VENDANGES
The French word for “harvest” or “vintage” perfectly describes this sheer grape
Lipstick, as it conjures images of juicy, just-picked fruit off the vine.
LIBERTÉ
French for freedom, this versatile burnished apricot imparts a fresh, warm flush
to the skin. Dust on apples of the cheeks for a sexy, carefree glow.

BUENOS AIRES & NEVER SAY NEVER

BUENOS AIRES
This wear-with-anything nude beige pink Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil is named after
the capital of Argentina. It combines the ease of a pencil with the finish of a gloss
for a truly versatile, quintessential modern classic.
NEVER SAY NEVER
Line, fill, then top with gloss—or don’t. This lilac rose Velvet Matte Lip Pencil
delivers a look you’ll never say no to, however you choose to wear it.

MOSCOW

MOSCOW
This strawberry red Pure Matte Lipstick is as striking and sophisticated as the
Russian capital that lends its name.

TROUVILLE

TROUVILLE
The seashell pink nail hue would look right at home on the beaches of the
fishing village in the Basse-Normandie region of northwestern France, for which
it is named.
