NARS Satin Lipstick - Honolulu Honey (Beige) 0.12oz (3.4g)

Product Information

NARS: They’re from that little camera I used to use—tiny tapes, like cassettes . . . What were they called? V8? No, that’s a drink. [ both laugh] Hi8? In any case, I’ve kept them buried in a box in a dry place. I know Steven is also dying to see them again.

NARS: And that’s how I believe we became better and better—me for makeup; you in front of the camera. The more you work and the more you start being molded by the photographer- and by the hair, by the makeup, and discovering new angles, new makeup, and all that—that’s how you built up into being who you are today. But that, to me, is completely gone. I mean, which girl today do you see growing and transforming herself into an icon? There are not many. NARS: Yes. She’s brand-new to me, so I can’t say. She’s got a look, yeah, but having a look is not enough. To me, that’s not necessarily a model. Before you, there were people like Veruschka. Those were models who will stay forever. I feel today, no matter what, you don’t really see girls that you feel have the potential to stay and become really iconic. I’m sorry, but that’s how I feel. SHEA) BUTTER · ISOPROPYL TITANIUM TRIISOSTEARATE · PROPYLENE CARBONATE · SIMETHICONE · BHT · PHENOXYETHANOL · FRAGRANCE (PARFUM) · LINALOOL · EVANGELISTA: I just have so many great—and very blurry—memories of those days when we started working together. EVANGELISTA: When was the first time that you ever played with makeup? Did you get into mother’s makeup?

Nars events

EVANGELISTA: There’s always so much hype when you launch a new collection. The blogs go crazy. Does that freak you out? EVANGELISTA: Why did you move to New York in the beginning? Did they not need makeup artists in the South of France? EVANGELISTA: Yes, built in. It’s unbelievable. But there are so many things where I’m like, “No, I don’t remember that”—and they’re, like, big things . . . Actually, I remember the awful things about those early show days because I felt so out of place there. EVANGELISTA: I thought you were critiquing. I thought I was gonna be thrown out for the knees and the gums.

answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but EVANGELISTA: I apologize because I didn’t know that you could do powder without looking. [ both laugh] But I do remember walking into Steven’s studio for that first shooting with Polly Mellen and you and Oribe.

EVANGELISTA: You know, I recently tried to buy my son a pink polo shirt, and he was like, “That’s a girl color.” But I kept telling him pink looks good on everybody. You’re the one who taught me that. EVANGELISTA: I know. Finding a name is easy. But matching it with a color . . . The colors are the names that you give them. EVANGELISTA: I think I might know someone who can do it. Speaking of video cameras, do you remember the video camera we bought together on the street? NARS: Well, now it’s getting quite big. We create a lot of products. After almost 20 years, you also have to be sure that you don’t recreate something that you’ve done already. NARS: That’s the good part: we don’t know what color it is exactly. That’s why it’s so good. It’s not pink. It’s not peach. It’s not apricot.

I didn't notice any scent or taste, though there is "fragrance (parfum)" listed in the ingredients--it smelled neutral, not waxy but I just didn't get any scent. EVANGELISTA: You know, I would never do that for anyone else. You know what a prude I am. I mean, I had to hold my hands over my boobs when you did my makeup. [ both laugh] EVANGELISTA: But there were so many girls booked on that shooting, and we were just sitting and waiting. Then I got my turn, and I got so insecure because you were all talking about my gums and my knees. I thought, “Oh, they don’t like me. There’s something wrong with my gums. They’re saying, ‘When she smiles, we can see her gums.’” And I’m like, I’m gonna get thrown out of here because of my knees. EVANGELISTA: Did you love working with him during the era when you worked with him, or did you wish you could’ve worked with him in another time?NARS: I love the architecture magazines and all of the French magazines for decoration or whatever. I end up enjoying them more sometimes than the fashion magazines.

NARS: Yeah, but I’d done a couple shootings there for American Vogue, and the editor on them was Polly. I went crazy for Polly. I love Polly. She was so fabulous and such a character. She made me laugh and was also so incredibly talented. And she came from an era that was fascinating to me because she worked with Avedon in the ’60s and all that. So it was a dream. When she said, “You have to come to New York because I want you to work for the magazine there,” I said, “You don’t have to tell me twice—I’ll go and live in New York in a second.” So that’s the reason why I moved. I really wanted to work with those people, those legends. NARS: Other people have tried very hard, but I think I’ve still got the best names. There’s nothing you can do, so you have to take it as flattery.NARS: As soon as you tell people, “Oh, I loved this time . . .” they start saying, “You cannot be nostalgic.” Well, you know what? I’m very nostalgic—and I don’t care. [ laughs] As much as there are good things today, talking about models now . . . You feel that they are really out there. But are they really enjoying being models? It’s very hard to say. I mean, I could always tell that you loved being a model. You loved being photographed. NARS: Yeah, I think probably on myself—I mean, like any queen, you know what I mean? [ both laugh] Which queen didn’t play with makeup? EVANGELISTA: Because initially, the rest of the girls were all “show” girls and I wasn’t. I didn’t have a place yet. I wasn’t a “print” girl or a “show” girl. I felt like I was the new one.
