NARS x Konstantin Kakanias Collection for Summer 2016

NARS Cosmetics has partnered with LA-based Greek painter  for a special limited edition makeup range! NARS’s upcoming summer collection, launching April 2016, is a 10-piece makeup range inspired by the exotic shades of summer resorts, and casual yet chic glare of the French Riviera. The contemporary Greek painter and multimedia artist of extremely unique and recognizable style, has created unique illustrations to adorn colorful cases of NARS’s summer offerings. As explained by the artist, each of the sassy French girls adorning the packaging personifies the shade inside. The range includes four Dual-Intensity eye shadows, six lip glosses, and two Dual-Intensity blushers.

NARS x Konstantin Kakanias Collection for summer 2016, will be released on April 15, 2016 at NARS Boutiques and narscosmetics.com. Later on, from May 1, the collection will hit the shelves at Sephora, Sephora.com, department, and specialty stores.

"François Nars’ love of the lens meets the glamorous glare of the French Riviera. Inspired by the sensational whirl of an editorial photo shoot, each lush vignette captures the wit and wonder of his behind-the-scenes world. Original illustrations by contemporary artist Konstantin Kakanias bring each moment to life on covetable, limited-edition packaging. A total departure in every aperture."
