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.

Web Exclusive: Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Young Hellboy
From a make-up perspective, the first major character to appear in Hellboy 2 is a younger version of the hero, seen in a 1955 prologue with Professor Broom (John Hurt). The Young Hellboy character was created by the Barcelona-based company DDT Efectos Especiales and played in a gender-bending twist by the company’s Montse Ribé.
