I’m dreaming of shoes… and the new NARS Pierre Hardy Rotonde blush ($41)
I am a shoe girl…but of course you already knew this.
រឿងរ៉ាវនៃជីវិតរបស់ខ្ញុំ…
Whenever a new shoe-related appeal collaboration comes along, I’m always eager to try it on for size (haha!), even when the link between said footwear and whatever new perfume (Jimmy Choo) or palette (Seychelles for Smashbox) we’re talking about seems about as random as, I dunno, Ryan Gosling releasing his own line of Mrs. Grossman’s stickers, or Beyoncé launching a limited edition Mrs. Carter Dyson vacuum (as a side, I would absolutely want both of those things if they were real).

Generally, whenever makeup and shoes are involved, you can count me in, which is why I’m deeply fascinated with the new Pierre Hardy for NARS collection that strutted its stuff online today at narscosmetics.com with six nail polish duos and two powder blushes.
I didn’t know much about Pierre Hardy before this launch. I’d thought, “Is that Ed Hardy’s cousin?” (Kidding) but then I looked him up…
A French shoe designer originally trained in fine arts and dance, Hardy’s fashion occupation took off in 1988 when he created his first shoe collection for Christian Dior. His heels and high tops often incorporate geometric elements, which I like. His aesthetic seems very chic to me, and yet it doesn’t seem to take itself too seriously.

Thematically, NARS borrows heavily from Pierre Hardy’s summer 2013 collection here, with a mix of orange, nude, blue, purple and gray, which weave their way into the polishes, while a pattern lifted from a bold cuff repeats itself within the two pans of over-sized blush.

Last weekend I strapped on some leopard heels and took the blushes out for a walk.
At $41 each (for a 0.45-ounce pan), the two Pierre Hardy blushes are a lot more expensive than normal for a NARS blush pan ($29), but they’re also considerably larger (0.45 ounces versus 0.16).
NARS Rotonde blush ($41)
The orange shade, Rotonde, an electric tiger lily with a golden shimmer, wears an overspray, which when brushed away reveals a warm, pigmented terracotta orange.
One swirl of my blush brush in the pan of soft powder (that feels like expensive suede) delivers a bright cheek look that I can’t wait to see on warm, tanned skin, with a golden coral lip.

NARS kids Don’t Cry blush ($41)
I also like — no, LOVE! — the reddish pink shade, kids Don’t Cry, and not just because it’s the name of one of my favorite songs from The Cure.
A bright ruby red grapefruit pink with the same golden shimmer overspray that graces Rotonde, and like Rotonde, the blush is fine like powdered sugar. I barely have to use any in any way for really bold cheeks.
Not streaky at all, it’s also a cinch to blend. For my darker-skinned gal pals, I can’t recommend it enough.
