A sophisticated, neutral color palette by NARS is designed to complement the rich colors and bold textures of fall 2008 fashion.

With the runway looks for fall 2008 showing off vibrant colors and intense textures, now is the perfect time for going with a makeup look that accessorizes fashion. NARS cosmetics has released an understated collection for fall 2008 that is wearable by virutally every skin tone, and works for both the office and a night out on the town.

NARS Eyeshadow Duos For Fall 2008

NARS has released two new eyeshadow duos for fall 2008: Cordura and Isolde. Cordura takes the bronzes and the shimmers of summer and translates into the popular golds and bronze-browns that we saw on the runway for fall 2008. The two coller-toned shades are soft and sultry and full of shimmer. The high shimmer content means they should be used sparingly for daytime and are not ideal for more mature eyelids, except as an accent.

Isolde is a duo for those who want to add warmth to their color palette with a gingery gold and a beautiful, shimmery copper. Copper is a must-have color for anyone who wants their green eyes to "pop" this fall, and NARS has produced one of the most wearable shades on the market.

Again, one needs to be careful to not overdo the use of shimmer in a daily look or if the eye area has fine lines and creases. However, this duo will not only be a hit for this fall, it will prove popular well into the holiday season, too.

NARS Lipsticks and Lipgloss For Fall 2008

In addition to one of the top five lipsticks for fall 2008, NARS has released two lipsticks and one lipgloss with the fall collection.

Senorita, a light , cool-toned, shimmering rose-pink lipstick, fits well with the trend of pairing glamourous eyes with a pale, natural lip. It's sheer in texture, meaning that it won't look thick or heavy when applied. The light shimmer to the color will reflect light and is wonderful for aging lips. Additionally, NARS formulates all of its sheer lipsticks with a nourishing dose of Vitamin E, which is a continual lip hydrator.

Beautiful Liar, the second shade released for the fall 2008 collection is a warmer-toned sheer lipstick with a hint of a coral copper color. Again, as it is sheer, it provides just a wash of color without weighing down the lips. This shade is designed to effortlessly blend with the Isolde Eyeshadow Duo.

Top either lipstick off with the new NARS Lipgloss, Female Trouble. The addition of lipgloss takes a day look into night with little effort. This muted lilac pink is ideal for those with cooler toned to their skin, or over the top of a warmer color for those who carry more warm tones.

Summary of the NARS Fall 2008 Makeup Collection

NARS has released a collection of makeup that is simple, festive and easily worn by women of any skill level, and almost any skin tone. The high shimmer in the collection makes it less than ideal for more mature skin types, as the shimmering properties will only enhance fine lines and wrinkles. However, adding a few touches of shimmer for accents would update a classic look with some key pieces of the makeup trends for fall.

Complementing the eyes and lips is the new Dolce Vita blush and Rebel Yell nail polish. Retailing between $24 and $36 at the company website, Sephora stores, and other fine department stores, NARS is an affordable cosmetic option for fall 2008.
