Your Favorite British Designer Is Now Doing Makeup

by Emily Kirkpatrick

If you're a cool, young indie designer these days, London seems like the place to be Leading that fashionable pack of innovators is Christopher Kane, whose collections have consistently set trends throughout the industry. Now the designer is bringing his magic touch to a new beauty collaboration: Christopher Kane for Nars!

Nars and Kane announced back in September that they would be joining forces on a forthcoming collection, and makeup enthusiasts have been anxiously awaiting more news ever since. Though it was used on the models for Kane's Spring 2015 collection, this is the first time we're seeing any of the actual products from the makeup range.

This collaboration naturally evolved out of Kane and the makeup brand's six-season spanning relationship, working together on all of the unique, avant-garde beauty looks for his collections. The first fall offering will center around three color schemes — bold neon, classic neutral and futuristic iridescence — and feature ten products. This is Nars' first collaboration to feature a full color collection for eyes, lips, and cheeks, and will even include an all new blush and illuminating multiple in a shimmering violet straight from the runway.

London Fashion Week has quickly set itself apart from the pack with a roster of designers who are pushing the boundaries of fashion, showcasing the edgiest, most forward-thinking creations of the lot, and that reputation is largely due to Kane and his designs that are perpetually at fashion's forefront. It's safe to assume his Nars collection will be just as innovative and exciting.

The full collection comes in Christopher Kane's signature spectrum of hues, including hot pinks, neon oranges, and bold fuschia — aka, not for the girl looking for an understated look. These pieces will hit Nars stores and website on April 15, so if you want to get your hands on some of these beauties you better start lining up now.
