NARS Blusher

NARS Cosmetics is a prestigious beauty brand renowned for its high-pigment products and provocative naming conventions, particularly its iconic line of blushers. The brand was established in 1994 by French makeup artist and photographer François Nars. It launched with a collection of twelve lipsticks at Barneys New York and quickly expanded into a full range of color cosmetics focused on self-expression and individual beauty.

In 2000, NARS was acquired by the Japanese multinational Shiseido Group. Under Shiseido's ownership, the brand has grown into a global powerhouse while maintaining its fashion-forward edge. Most NARS products, including their blushers, are manufactured in the United States, though the brand utilizes Shiseido's extensive global facility network in Italy and Canada for specific formulations. The brand's headquarters remains in New York City, functioning as a subsidiary of its Japanese parent company.
