NARS - About the Brand

François Nars’ creative vision, which launched NARS Cosmetics with 12 iconic lipsticks in 1994, inspires self-expression and imaginative artistry through an unexpected, no-rules philosophy of beauty. As one of the most influential image-makers in the world, François signature boundary-pushing approach to makeup manifests from the palette to the product name to the campaign photograph itself – continuing to bring high-fashion, high-style and forward thinking to beauty. With every product, endless opportunities for self-expression. “Don’t hold back. Be bold. It encourages others to do the same.”


Our Bestselling Ranges

NARS

"After a successful career in makeup artistry, François Nars founded NARS in New York in 1994. Like many other cosmetics brands, NARS was created out of frustration at the lacklustre selection of cosmetics currently on sale. The first NARS range consisted of just 12 lipsticks, which sold so well that the NARS range was soon expanded to include both makeup and later, in 2002, skincare.

NARS cosmetics focus primarily on neutral shades, with an occasional splash of vibrancy thrown in. NARS cosmetics aren't afraid to be a little risqué either – one of the brand's bestselling highlighters, the Orgasm Blush, was released in 1999 and has since become a cult favourite. Today, the matte black packaging of NARS products is synonymous with the brand's simple, contemporary style.

Today, NARS cosmetics are iconic, having been worn by some of the world's most recognisable stars. LOOKFANTASTIC is an official UK stockist of NARS products, including concealers, foundations, lipsticks, and more. The goal of NARS beauty is to reveal the transformative effects that makeup can have, and today François Nars is still the creative force behind NARS, driving the brand in new directions every year."
