NARS is taking Holiday 2026 to the Alps. The limited Art of Après lineup turns fresh snow, cold mountain air and flushed post-ski skin into one of the season’s most visually coherent beauty collections.
The headline pieces are two Après Ski Cheek & Eye Palettes, each containing four eyeshadows, a highlighter and a blush.
06045 Aspen Highlands pairs icy blue eye color with matte blue-pink and a cold-weather glow story. 06046 Snow Games leans moodier, combining metallic gunmetal blue with raspberry-pink blush.
The collection also introduces a limited Light Reflecting Prismatic Powder Pressed in a pale pink-and-blue marble, plus a Light Reflecting Serum Cushion Foundation Case designed to resemble a metallic puffer ski jacket. Two Line & Shine Lip Duos round out the release with a lip liner and Afterglow Lip Shine in each set.
The collection launches across Japan on October 23, 2026.
* Après Ski Cheek & Eye Palette, two versions: ¥8,800 each * Light Reflecting Prismatic Powder Pressed: ¥6,600 * Light Reflecting Serum Cushion Foundation Case: ¥2,860 * Line & Shine Lip Duo, two versions: ¥4,510 each
A U.S. launch date has not been confirmed, and the exact collection was not listed on NARS’s U.S. site when checked. Product descriptions above are translated from Japanese reporting and should remain labeled provisional until NARS publishes English-language details.
Post this now. The recognizable luxury name helps, but the real story is the concept: ski culture, fashion-coded packaging and icy color all land in the same place. Lead with the puffer compact or the two palettes, then make the Japan-first timing the reason to save and follow.
