- Amber Valletta
I'm a huge fan of NARS. I'll definitely go given its in the vicinity of my office. Don't miss it!
“Some of my fondest memories on set are with François. We shared so
many outrageous moments, induced by long hours of shooting Paris
couture into the wee hours of the morning. From food fights to pillow
fights, François' laughing presence is always there.”
-Shalom Harlow
Some of the portraits.
Isabella Rossellini in Junya Watanabe wearing NARS Misfit Duo
Eyeshadow. Her portrait references her most recent project, Green
Porno, a series of short films written, directed and featuring
Isabella, which examines the sex life of bugs.
Jennifer Jason Leigh’s portrait is inspired by the NARS Black Moon
Eyeliner Pencil and Old Hollywood. Jennifer is an actress known for her
roles in films such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Last Exit to
Brooklyn, Single White Female, and Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle.
She wears a dinner jacket and shirt by Maison Martin Margiela and hat
by Rod Keenan for a look that is right out of old Hollywood. “Jennifer
and I both love this look. It comes from a time when people really
dressed up every time they left the house—so tailored, but here it’s
still very feminine,” says François.
Amber appears as Catherine Deneuve wearing Belle de Jour Lipstick.

For comparable coverage, RMK's really good, best for what I'd tried. It's sheer but got really really good coverage to hide big pores or scars.
If you don't need full coverage, Laura Mercier's good. Very sheer, lovely texture, but provide slightly better coverage than the very popular Armani.

u're right, the orgasm is just irreplacable! i should use their shadows more often!

i used to be a big NARS fans, unfortunately all the cases for eye-shadow and blush i bought a few years back are starting to 'melt'!! it's kinda horrible.... i hoep the dry weather in BJ can help reverse it....
the only product i still constantly use are the orgasm blush and the hydrating gel!

my cases also melt but not for my MOH. i believe it's really the way you keep it. the only complain my MOH's that all the cases look the same so very difficult to get the right one when you're rushing to go to work!
i also use orgasm, the powder blush or the multiple, on a daily basis. n so far i can't find anythg better than its eye shadow.
