Nars makeup is considered a "prestige brand" and I'll tell you why they can command the status and prices they do; 

• extraordinary color palette

• exceptional quality

• innovative marketing

• master professional makeup artist as founder of the company

Nars cosmetics is not simply a short term "hot beauty product".  It has staying power as a favored product line beyond trend, because it has delivered fabulous results in the most scrutinizing beauty circles.

Here is a top ten Nars "Picks" List based on the opinions of top beauty industry professionals and popularity.

#1  NARS The Multiple :  In a time where matte neutral faces are taking a back seat to sun kissed radiant beauty, there is nothing more versatile than these fabulous sticks of color.  They can be worn on eyes, lips, cheeks...you name it, and the colors are simply gorgeous.  Although difficult to pick a favorite color, these are two of a lineup of eleven fantastic colors; "Copacabana" and "Antibes" .

   #2  NARS Powder Blush: A light sweep delivers a lot of rich, sheer intense pigment.  The colors are beautiful in shades beyond anything most of us could have imagined.  "Orgasm" is probably 'the' most popular shade (shown left) and its not because of the name.  This color delivers a peach/pink with gold that brings incredibly natural color to a complexion.

#3   NARS Eye Shadow- Singles and Duos:  

Single Shades: Rich in pigmented color, sheer in texture, this extensive range of beautiful and versatile shades makes this line probably one of the most 'wearable' eye shadow lines.  From the lightest shades like "Edie" , to medium shades like "Ashes to Ashes", all the way to the darkest shades like "Thunderball".  Nars cosmetics, has shades so perfectly fine tuned, that almost every one has realistic regular wear potential.  

Eye Shadow Duos:  There is something very beautiful and unexpected about Nars cosmetics eye shadow color duos.   Here is an example:
1. For the look of elegant simplicity, "All About Eve" is a makeup drawer staple.

#4  NARS Makeup Brush Smudge:  Noting perfect eye shadows naturally leads to noting perfect tools for application....  This brush is the perfect tool for blending darker shadows along lash lines and softening harsh pencil lines for that ever hot, smoky eyed look.

#5  NARS Concealer: A highly practical concealer infused with vitamin E is brilliant in concept, function and another perfect tool. 

The texture is a light, creamy consistency, and serves not only to conceal circles and blemishes, but can also act as a primer for eye makeup.  According to Francois Nars,  if you use this concealer all over the eyelid, "set with a generous amount of loose powder as a shadow base.  Even under hot studio lights, in 20 years he's never had a crease."  You don't have to be very old to begin noticing how makeup can settle in creases, and not only age you, but diminish the enhancing function of the eye makeup.

#6  NARS Lipsticks:  Lipstick is the founding product line of Nars cosmetics.  Their shades are rich in color and selected to be the perfect  shade; "Much time and effort has been spent to obtain the perfect shades of color so that the customer doesn't have to.  A woman will not find many different shades of reds or browns in the NARS line; instead she will only find the quintessential red or the perfect brown."

They are also loaded with anti oxidants for long wearing fresh color.  At present, my personal preference are sheer vitamin E loaded formulations in shades like this one shown 'Tobago; a sheer warm taupe/grape with soft shimmer".

#7  NARS Lip Liner, Hush: This lip liner has great qualities and is of great quality like all Nars cosmetics.  Beyond the obvious benefits of defining and enhancing the shape of your lips, this formulation is creamy and long wearing.  This shade "Hush" is an excellent shade to have as a staple because it is very neutral and compliments most lipstick shades.

#8  NARS Lip Gloss: Again Nars cosmetics present a multitude of gorgeous shades where each one seems to be 'the' perfect shade for their color group.  This lip gloss is very shiny, semi-sheer, not sticky and can be worn overtop lipstick or on its own for a more natural look.  These two colors are my favorites;

#9  NARS Artist Palette Compact:  You can't go wrong with this. I love this innovative idea by Nars cosmetics.  Gorgeous palette colors plus the convenience of a completely color coordinated selection of makeup.  This selection includes eye shadow, blush, lipstick and lip gloss.

#10  NARS Mascara, Black Orchid:  Attributes that include rich black lacquered pigment, unique wand design for lengthening individual lashes, and special formulation that can be worn by sensitive eyes, makes this mascara great.  There is even a waterproof formulation.
