Last week I went to an exclusive evening in Selfridges London for NARS cosmetics. I went along to test new cosmetics and learn the art of applying make up by leading make up artist David Scheffen (right hand man to NARS founder Francois).
David has worked with Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson and lots of other celebrities. He suggested a step by step skin care system and introduced all the new fall colours. He was fabulous to watch and very personable. He made time to meet every one and give his expert advice.
We were taken to a private room at Selfridges and given our own colour palettes, brushes and skin care products to test and discuss. On the product front, I really liked the brushes. I purchased the Yachiyo blusher brush from the Kabuki Artisan Brush collection. The blusher brush is so soft and contoured perfectly for cheekbones and blending. The brush is made from goat hair (which explains the softness)! It is priced at £37.50 but I use it every day (she tells herself).
I also purchased lipstick in Schiap (£17.50) and the multiple bronzer/highlighter in Lamu (£29). The highlighter is amazing and gives just enough sparkle to sweep on top of cheekbones.
I treated my sister too and she chose the bronzer in warm golden and the volumising mascarra.
I was really impressed with the levels of pigment in the eye shadows and I am sure I will return to shop at NARS.
Here are some candids of me at the event.
