Nars Cosmetics and Barneys New York celebrated Nars’ 20th Anniversary with an exclusive exhibition and cocktail event for founder and creative director François Nars hosted by Linda Evangelista, Fabien Baron and Simon Doonan on Sept. 4. In other news, the brand recently rolled out a Dual Intensity Eyeshadow.

In makeup, multi-use products are paramount for those on the go.  Wet or dry eyeshadow is a key example of this benefit, for it can be used as a sheer wash of color during the day as a power or as a bolder, crème-based look for evening. Nars’ new Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow ($29) is small in size but big on pigment—perfect for a makeup bag!
 
Twelve ready-to-wear and rebelliously romantic shades transform your look with a riveting range from delicate peach pink to fierce black orchid. Using Nars’ specially designed wet/dry eyeshadow brush ($28), the ultra-soft and luxurious shadow glides on smoothly and easily for precise application. Pictured is Callisto, an icy pink silver great for day with a brown kohl liner and hint of mascara; or night with a jet black crème cat-eye liner and a thick coat of mascara. Pair both looks with a simple rose lipstick or sheer lipgloss and primed,  bronzed skin.
