About Us

François Nars’ creative vision, which launched NARS Cosmetics with 12 lipsticks in 1994, inspires self expression and imaginative artistry through an unexpected, no-rules philosophy of beauty. As one of the influential image-makers in the world, François’ signature boundary-pushing approach to makeup manifests from the palette to the product name to the photograph itself—continuing to bring high-fashion, high-style, and forward thinking to beauty. With every product, endless opportunities for self expression: “Don’t hold back. Be bold. It encourages others to do the same.”
