GET THE LOOK
Heather Marks in the NARS Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil film
Ever since the Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencils landed on our desk, we couldn’t get enough of the silky matte finish and moisturizing Vitamin E of jumbo-crayon-like scribblers. Available in six shades, our favourite is “Happy Days,” vibrant pink coral with a hint of gold shimmer that is on-trend for spring.
To add to the excitement of the launch of the new product, Nars commissioned noted fashion filmmaker Ruth Hogben, who had previously worked with Alexander McQueen, Céline, Givenchy and Gareth Pugh, to direct Canadian stunner Heather Marks in the 60 second spot.
With Marks’ natural beauty and sex appeal oozing through our computers, we wanted to get the same look ourselves, created for the film by makeup artist Diane Kendal.

-Apply Pro-Prime Pore Refining Primer with fingertips to visible pores, fine lines, and around the edge of lips.
