In 1994, french born Francois Nars created the brand NARS after becoming frustrated in his profession as a makeup artist with the lack of product available. Nars released twelve lipstick shades, a far cry from the over forty that are available today. Francois Nars built up a celebrity following before launching NARS by working with Vogue and Elle. NARS are featured on the catwalks of one such celebrity who follows and has supported nars since the beginning, Marc Jacobs. NARS is now owned by Shiseido, however Francois Nars still has input into the company by acting as creative director and the photographer for the advertisement campaigns. By taking a step back this has allowed Francois Nars to move to a beautiful island in the French Polynesia where his love of photography takes up most of his time. Francois Nars has since made four books based on his photography and love of makeup.
