Christina Hendricks Wears New NARS Pure Matte Lipstick to “Mad Men” Season 4 Premiere

NARS Cosmetics worked with celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali to create the makeup look for “Mad Men” actress Christina Hendricks at the Season 4 Premiere last night. NARS’ NEW Pure Matte Lipstick was key in creating her look along with other products from NARS’ Fall 2010 Color Collection.

Christina’s sultry Dolce & Gabbana dress inspired a softer version of the “La Dolce Vita” makeup look. We kept it modern by using Bangkok Pure Matte Lipstick, which is a soft matte rose color for her lips,” says Vanessa Scali.

Christina Hendricks’ look was achieved using the following NARS products:

· Bangkok Pure Matte Lipstick (Available September 1; try Catfight Lipstick for a similar effect)

· Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

* Skin Smoothing Face Prep
* Sheer Glow Foundation
* Douceur Blush (NEW for Fall 2010; available on narscosmetics.com)
* Black Moon Eyeliner Pencil
* Coconut Grove Single Eyeshadow (NEW for Fall 2010; available on narscosmetics.com)
* Cayenne Cream Eyeshadow
