NEW DELHI, Oct. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NARS Cosmetics, the global makeup brand founded by makeup artist and photographer François Nars, announced its launching in India this October. With a legacy of innovation, creativity and a commitment to artistry, NARS is well positioned to captivate the hearts of Indian beauty enthusiasts. This strategic move reflects NARS Cosmetic's dedication to expanding its horizons and embracing the thriving beauty landscape of India.
India, with its rich tapestry of cultures and ever-evolving beauty scene, was a natural choice for NARS Cosmetics to establish its presence.

We have bold ambitions for NARS Cosmetics in India and are confident that we will bring more excitement and empowerment through beauty to the Indian beauty market, starting from this festive season."
In November, the brand will open the doors to its first boutique in India at Select CityWalk, New Delhi. The boutique will feature a three-sided storefront with larger-than-life visuals photographed by François Nars, modern amenities, large format media for stylized images and campaign films and a sleek design conceived by Founder and Creative Director François Nars and Fabien Baron, of New York design firm Baron & Baron.
