Guy Bourdin was a French fashion photographer and artist, best known for many of his provocative fashion photos for many of the top designers of the second half of the 20th century. He worked mainly with Vogue and was a contemporary of Helmut Newton. Many of his best known photos were for shoe designer Charles Jourdan, a designer very well known for his highly sexualized ad campaigns. Francois Nars found work done by Bourdin when he was looking through French Vogue as a child and stated that his career was inspired by works of Bourdin's . I cannot wait to start checking this collection out!
I pulled some of the product descriptions from Nordstrom and some from the NARS website. I am only seeing some of the collection on the Nordstrom website and a few pieces are missing from the NARS website too.

I am so excited for these new shades and I am even more excited to see that NARS has brought out two limited edition products with this collection! I am going to start with the two new products as I always love to try new items from my favorite brand. The Cinematic Lipstick promises to be a favorite product of mine, I already love nearly every lipstick that I have ever used from this company and I am excited to try a formula with a glossy finish. The combination of a glossy finish and high impact might be harder to pull off than I am used to but I can't wait to make a statement in these new hues. I will be picking up Future Red, Last Tango, Goodbye Emmanuelle, and Full Frontal. This might be my new favorite product of the whole holiday season.
I am also excited to see the new eye shadow formula, I have a bunch of the other formulas from NARS and I want to try even more from them. Cambodia and Mississppi Mermaid are the only two shades that I would like from these new shades, I am not sure that I would be able to pull off the bright hues from this new formula and I would like to start with the neutrals. I want to play with the neutrals and pair them with the bright lip hues from this collection. I can easily skip over the blush shades but I would like to pick up all of the nail polish shades.
There is a good chance that this will be my favorite of the holiday collections and I cannot wait to start shopping these products. I also want to do some more research into the works of Guy Bourdin and his photographs for Charles Jourdan.
