How to get a rosy summer glow with NARS
Step 1: Base
When you’re out and about living your best life this summer, the last thing you want to be worrying about is your makeup! Create a long-lasting and radiant complexion starting with the NARS Radiance Primer SPF35. The lightweight and oil-free formula creates a lit-from within glow and helps to extend the longevity of your makeup, both smoothing out imperfections and skin tone. The SPF enriched formula is ideal for the summer months, protecting you from harmful UV rays from your first layer.
Perfect your base further with the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. The lightweight foundation contains micronised pigments that mimic the skin’s natural tone and offers sweat and transfer resistant coverage for up to 16 hours. Blended with a skin loving complex, the liquid makeup will leave you with that smooth, luminous finish.
Step 2: Bronze
No summer look is truly complete without a touch of Bronzer to create a natural sun-kissed glow. Sweep the bronzer over your face from the temple, across the cheek and along the jawline with light pressure, blending into the neck to create an authentic looking tanned appearance.
Step 3: Blush
Essential for a healthy rosy blush, the new NARS Uninhibited Blush Duo features two of the brands bestselling shades; Deep Throat and Tempted. Enriched with micronized powder pigments, the two powders leave a soft-focus finish in your desired shade when applied to the apples of the cheeks.

Step 4: Eyes
Let go of your inhibitions and release your inner makeup artist with the NARS Uninhibited Eyeshadow Palette. Filled with nine rich and warm shades in matte, metallic and shimmering finishes, the palette contains every shade desired to create unique eye looks for both the day and night. Finish off your eyeshadow look with the NARS Climax Mascara. The ribbed bristles load up with whipped, blackened pigments for hardcore lift and a softcore feel, all with a featherweight touch.

Step 5: Lips
Complete your summer look with a divine shine finish using the NARS Afterglow Lip Shine. Available in three shades ranging from peachy to powerful, each product covers your lips with colour and a mirror-like shine. Enriched with Raspberry Seed Oil and Pomegranate Extract, the Lip Shines hydrate and protect your pout as well as leaving them looking fuller. Apply the liquid formula starting at the centre of the lips and smoothing out to the edges, following the contours of your mouth.
