new: NARS fall 2012 color collection.

{90s icon/model kristen mcmenamy}

"the fall 2012 color collection is at once bold and breathtaking: icy shimmer enhances modern colors to create a stunning, ethereal effect. eyes are piercing in smoky jewel tones accented with lavender and amethyst sparkle. skin glows subtly in nearly nude pink with a whisper of silver. lips are strong in striking metallics or soft in warm brandy and rose shades. grey nails lend final sophistication to a look that’s exhilarating, evocative, and, as always, strictly NARS." - NARS press release

i've had my first taste of fall -- and it is sweet.  as much as i hate to live in the future - NARS fall 2012 color collection has me planning every outfit and makeup look for when the leaves turn.  some seasonal collections seem like they could work any time of year, but the colors of this collection are decidedly fall, and also reminiscent of narnia.  i already see myself a neon jewel tone j crew cashmere sweater, offset by outlaw blush (soft rose tone with golden shimmer) and amsterdam pure matte lipstick (garnet red).

the collection is a fresh update of NARS staples - with new shades of pure matte lipstick, velvet gloss lip pencil and the multiple.    the entire collection is currently available at narscosmetics.com.
