François Nars, the founder and creative director of NARS Cosmetics, celebrates the company’s 15th anniversary with a very exclusive new release: 15x15, a book of 15 celebrity portraits, will be released in mid-November and available for just 30 days at www.15x15project.com.
Nars made up and photographed his subjects, among them Marc Jacobs, Isabella Rossellini, Amber Valletta, Naomi Campbell and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Each shot was inspired by an iconic image or person, plus a classic NARS product. (To see the concept in action, look for Jacobs in NARS’ bright-red Dovima nail polish, which references the ‘60s supermodel for which the product was named.)
Proceeds from the book, published by Chandelier Creative, benefit a charity of each celebrity’s choosing. Just 1,500 copies of the $80 book were produced and each are hand-numbered, Nars told Women’s Wear Daily. Any copies that don’t sell on www.15x15project.com become available through www.narscosmetics.com.
Along with the book, Nars told the magazine he planned to celebrate the cosmetic company’s anniversary with a party at Barney’s Dec. 10, another new make-up book in the works and a new store opening in New York City in 2010.

gender-bending twist by the company’s Montse Ribé. |

Iranian Make-up Innovator Dies at 65 - Wednesday 14 May, 2008 |
| Iranian
movie make-up artist Farhang Moayyeri died May 10 in Tehran of cardiac arrest.
He was 65 and had already fought a long battle with lung cancer, the Iran State
News Agency reported.
Moayyeri
created several make-up designs and prosthetics for Iranian theater, television
and film. He is best known for creating make-up for the films of Bahram Beizai,
Mas'ud Kimiai and other well-known Iranian directors.
According
to the ISNA, Moayyeri was born in 1943 and began his career acting on The
Brick and the Mirror (1965), then tried directing before entering the make-up
industry in 1978. He created the make-up for Bashou, the Little Stranger (1986), Maybe Some Other Time (1988), Killing Mad Dogs (2001) and
other films.
Mohsen
Maleki, head of the Iranian Association of Make-Up Designers, expressed sorrow
over Moayyeri’s death and described him as the father of modern Iranian make-up
design. Moayyeri was honored by the association in 2006 for his efforts to train
new generations of artists in Iran's film industry.
