Updated: December 2002 MAKEUP YOUR MIND "François Nars showcases his photography and makeup in this fall's Makeup Your Mind." —Talk, full page "Informer" feature "It's amazing what a little color can do. Makeup artist François Nars shares the application how-tos he uses to create a spectrum of looks. 'When I was growing up in southwestern France, I spent hours staring at before-and-after photographs in my mother's magazines. I taught myself by trying to understand how the makeup artist created each look. That is why I chose before-and-afters as the teaching tool in my book, Makeup Your Mind, excerpted here. If you study these shots, you'll see clearly how the makeup I applied and to make duplication even easier, you can use the NARS products named or similar colors that you already have. It's like a makeup cookbook—full of recipes that will give you tons of ideas. Like a cook, you can use them as is or adapt them to suit yourself.' [text by François Nars]" —InStyle, 6 page excerpt "In his new book, 'Makeup Your Mind,' the famed makeup artist instructs cosmetics neophytes in creating his trademark striking but natural looks, which he has applied to famous faces like Madonna's and Michelle Pfeiffer's, as well as the mugs of his model friends who posed for the book." —The New York Post "François Nars offers a modern and refreshing spin on the dated instruction makeup workbook." —Vogue "If you want to see what top models look like with naked faces (yes, they're still beautiful), flip through the new book Makeup Your Mind...
