Not many cosmetics boast an origin story like a Marvel superhero - but NARS The Multiple has one, and here's how it goes:
The year was '96, the town was Manhattan, the setting, a Harper's Bazaar photoshoot. Our protagonist, makeup artist François Nars, is pitted against five contemporaries to create the spring look in three hours. Nars rebelled, took one burnt orange lipstick to supermodel Carolyn Murphy's face, and was done in 10 minutes flat. Kapow! An era-defining look was created, and one creamy makeup stick to rule them all, conceptualised.
