It’s the element of surprise that still drives the beauty brand today. BAZAAR learns from Mr. François Nars how Man Ray’s dualistic, dreamlike portraits come into play in the Man Ray x Nars collaboration.
Which products in this Man Ray for Nars collaboration are your favourites?
I love them all, so it is hard to pick favourites. If I had to choose, the Glass Tears Eyeshadow Palette featuring Man Ray’s iconic photograph is definitely one. The image alone is so beautiful—it is perfection. And, of course, the colours of the palette are great. They can either be worn alone or in combinations.
I love lips, so I would also choose the Les Amoureux Audacious Lipstick Coffret. It houses four neutral shades in a keepsake shaped like a photographer’s loupes [a small magnification device]. There’s another classic Man Ray image, L’Heure de l’Observatoire: Les Amoureux, layered between the glass and the four lipsticks. It is amazing.
Lastly, I love the gold highlighter. It is a fantastic new formula that gives the skin the appearance of a natural glow. And the shade is so universal, it looks great on everyone!
