help NARS Cosmetics FAQ

Who founded NARS Cosmetics?

NARS was founded by makeup artist François Nars in 1994. The brand launched with a small lipstick collection before expanding into complexion, blush, eye, and skincare-adjacent products.

Why is NARS Orgasm blush famous?

Orgasm is one of NARS's best-known products because of its peachy-pink color with golden shimmer. It became a signature shade for the brand and later expanded into related products like lip gloss and palettes.

Was NARS originally sold at Barneys New York?

Yes. NARS launched through Barneys New York, which fit its early fashion-editorial positioning. That helped the brand stand apart from mass-market makeup counters in the 1990s.

How does NARS differ from MAC Cosmetics?

MAC is known for a broad professional-artist range and a huge shade library. NARS leans more boutique and editorial, with products often built around François Nars's color sensibility and provocative shade names.
