The NARS Fall 2011 Collection Is Calling the Cool Girls to Come Over

Sunday, June 26th, 2011 - 6:33 am - Fashion Tips

If Id moved to New York all those years ago when the idea seemed like the greatest idea in the world, the NARS Fall 2011 collection would have been like my cool city friend. She would have strut down streets late at night wearing Helmet Lang dresses, black lace tights and sky-high stilettos, guiding us to all the best underground clubs and bars (long before they were written up in the New York Times).

I think theres something very urban about this latest collection from NARS. While Summer 2011s carefree golds, greens and teals made me want to spend the day at the beach, these fall shades make me want to dress up and meet friends at a trendy restaurant downtown.

The nine piece collection for eyes, lips and nails (no blush this time) sets dark, bold hues against soft, subtle tones. Im thinking gals with skin that sings in cool-toned dove gray, silvery taupe, rich plum and true blue will really like what they see when it arrives on NARS counters July 15.

Ill post a few looks and detailed reviews soon, but for now, heres a quick look at the entire collection, along with some swatches.

Well, what do ya think? I see a few things that will probably behave a little better on gals with cooler skin tone than mine, but I see some really pretty pieces here. Im definitely drawn to the eyeshadow trio and the duos silvery taupe. And even though the blue shadow looks sheer in the swatches, its awfully easy to build with a brush.
