From their sleek packaging, to their beautiful shade range and formulas, NARS is a brand that should definitely be on your radar!
NARS was created by makeup artist François Nars in 1994. It began as a line of 12 lipstick shades, and has since grown into one of the most coveted makeup brands out there. You’ve probably heard of them from their award-winning ‘Orgasm’ blush, but there are so many other NARS makeup products that are worth checking out.
What are the best NARS makeup products? With the large range of makeup and skincare products that NARS now offers, it can be hard to navigate around the noise to the products that are actually worth a place in your makeup bag.
Tried and tested, below are the best NARS products that are worth the money!
