The designer brings his nostalgic romance and dreamlike narrative to beauty with the limited-edition NARS x Erdem Strange Flowers collection.

Bold yet timeless, the colour collection is a custom designed palette of demure and daring shades for eyes, lips and cheeks, with additional newness in the form of NARS’ first lip powder palette and blotting paper. The highly covetable 13-piece capsule collection is encased in sophisticated soft-touch packaging adorned with one of three original floral prints Erdem created for the collaboration.

“It was really interesting to explore my aesthetic in collaboration with NARS and see how far we could push different elements through colour and product,” says Erdem. “It was fascinating to develop new pigments and palettes as well as the cosmetics themselves.”

The new color collection includes: six new lipstick shades, featuring a creamy, smooth formula, range from bare to bold, blush with a silky-soft pearlescent finish with a velvety formula gleams in two new shades, a highlighting pencil for eyes and cheeks, providing effortless blending and on-the-go radiance, and finally two six-well palettes of highly pigmented, velvety-matte shades deliver longwearing, crease-resistant color.
