A limited-edition holiday gift set will be released on November 22nd. Items include "Fling" (6,720 yen), which contains 2 lipsticks and 2 lip pencils in a red lip-shaped case, and "Voyer" (5,460 yen), which contains 5 mini-sized eyeliners in a red and black heart-designed pouch.

Bourdin was one of the most representative fashion photographers of the 20th century, active in French Vogue and other publications since the mid-1950s. His talent blossomed further in the 1970s, establishing himself as an image maker evoking death and sensuality. Even after his death in 1991, many of his collections, including "Exhibit A" (2001) and "In Between" (2010), have been revived.

NARS founder François Nars decided to become a makeup artist after encountering Bourdin's work in French Vogue and Harper's Bazaar as a child.
