Launching August 16th (Friday), NARS' 2013 Autumn Color Collection features a lineup of items that create a modern look with matte textures and ethereal colors. For example, the new shade "2081 (KAMCHATKA)" of "Single Eyeshadow" is a navy smoke color inspired by the volcanic region of Russia known as the "land of fire and ice." When applied to the eyelids, it creates a subtly smoky gaze. For smoky eyes, we want to pair them with a bold lip color. "2477 (MYSTERIOUS RED)" from "Velvet Matte Lip Pencil" is the brand's top recommended limited edition shade. This crimson red, embodying mystery, elegance, and glamour, can be worn alone or layered with lip gloss for a glossy finish, proving more versatile than it appears. All are limited editions (while supplies last), so act fast!
