NARS' limited-edition Holiday 2018 range approaches holiday cosmetics in an unconventional way, as the collection celebrates the anti-establishment movement of the 70s. This influence can be seen on the makeup products and their packaging, which includes studded details that reference the way punk accessories, jackets and shoes are commonly adorned.
While the Riot Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Set comes in a makeup bag that's decorated with safety pin motifs, the Scandal Eyeshadow Palette shares bold cool-toned shades with names like 'Break It Up,' 'Stage Dive' and 'Moshpit.'
To help beauty lovers count down the days until Christmas in style, NARS also included the Uncensored Advent Calendar in its Holiday 2018 collection, which includes a selection of 24 products like lip pencils, blush, concealers and brushes.
