The Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow Campaign Stars Model Daria Strokous

If the eyes are the soul to the windows, then eye makeup could easily be considered decorative curtains; the Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow ad campaign showcases a range of dramatic options that many women will fall in love with. Darkly alluring, the image focuses on a smokey eye fit for a femme fatale. By doing so, it really brings to light the intensity of this collection.

Starring a topless Daria Strokous, the Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow ad campaign has a glamorous rocker feel about it. Yet the latest innovation is less about persona and more about technology. Founder François Nars says, "I wanted to try something different in the eye-shadow category and pushed our chemists to create a new formulation that would be first-to-market and have the flexibly of being used wet or dry."
