Nars x Charlotte Gainsbourg Brush Set

Nars x Charlotte Gainsbourg brush set

Confession time: like most people, I’ve had the same make-up brush set for way too long. Worse still, my attitude towards washing my brushes is, at best, cavalier. Needless to say, until recently, I could not photograph my make-up brushes. They weren’t nearly pretty enough. In fact, they were so not pretty that I couldn’t leave them out when friends came over. All this to say, when I discovered the Nars x Charlotte Gainsbourg brush set, with its mixture of marble and wooden brushes, I knew it was time to replace my old ones.

To be fair, I’m not an expert when it comes to make-up brushes. The Nars x Charlotte Gainsbourg brush set is effectively the second I’ve ever owned. This means I don’t really know if the brushes in this set work better than others on the market at a similar price point. But I do know they’re beautiful. The best part of having a new home the prospect of decorating it. And no detail is too small, in my mind. I want everything to fit my aesthetic perfectly, right down to my cosmetic collection. These brushes, with their marble and wood handles, fit right into the mid-century modern vibe I’ve envisioned.

I love all things Parisian and Paris-inspired, so any Charlotte Gainsbourg collection had an obvious appeal for me. And I’ve been a fan of Nars since my early twenties. A lot of my everyday make-up products – Laguna bronzer, Orgasm blush and Monoi Body Glow II – still come from their permanent collection. I can’t live without their Audacious mascara. So I never doubted that I would love the Nars x Charlotte Gainsbourg brush set. But if I’m honest, even if you’re not as Nars- and Paris-obsessed as I am, I think you will, too.
