Nars partnered with the fashion house Erdem to release 'Strange Flowers' -- a collaborative makeup line that sits on the intersection of cosmetics and fashion.
The 13-piece collection is comprised of lip and eye shadow palettes, six lipstick hues, a multi-use highlighting pencil, blotting papers and two blushes. The product line made its debut during Erdem's Fall/Winter 2018 show at London Fashion Week, where the Nars-made cosmetics were worn by the models. Featuring the same color palette as the clothing line, the cosmetics boast hues that range from deep purple to bright reds.
To top it all off, this line arrives in lush floral packaging that was created by the designer and elicits a sense of glamour and elegance.
