Nars Summer 2010 Collection
Nars Summer 2010 Francois Nars created the Summer 2010 collection as an homage to Catherine Deneuve's character, Severine, in Belle de Jour. "Severine's look was not complicated-this wasn't a woman who wanted to do her makeup all day- but that doesn't mean she wasn't polished," said Nars. "Effortless looking makeup can often be the most elegant, allowing a woman's natural beauty (and personality) to shine through- especially during the summertime."

Here is Nars' friend and muse Amber Valleta in the Summer 2010 colors. We love how fresh the turquoise is on her eyes:
