Harper’s Bazaar: What are your earliest memories of beauty and how did it shape NARS?
François Nars: “My mother and my grandmothers introduced me to the world of beauty. When I was six or seven, I began to notice that I was surrounded by really gorgeous women in my family. My grandmother was very artistic and inspiring. She did her make-up beautifully—it was fascinating to watch her apply eyeliner and paint her lips with vibrant red lipstick.” “However, my love for natural-looking make-up comes from
my mother. Even though she never wore a lot of make-up, she always looked so elegant and striking. She was very fond of blush—never left the house without it.”
HB: Beauty is controlled by trends that change in the blink of an eye. How do you manage to keep NARS so fresh throughout it all?
FN: “I don’t follow trends. I don’t think about what would be trendy in the next one or two years. I aim to create products that will have a longer life span than that.”
HB: We are so thrilled NARS is coming to India, can you tell us why did you make this decision now and who will your target audience be here?
