Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Inspired by the makeup brand's popular makeover books, MakeUpYourMind.com - launched May 6 - invites beauty fans to upload their looks in the hopes of winning a trip to New York fashion week and other prizes.
In order to participate, aspiring makeup artists need to connect via their Facebook accounts in order to share their interpretations of ten different Nars looks. "Follow the steps and create your own expression of the look," it says on the website, but: "No two people are alike, so let your individual beauty and creativity show."
The community can then vote on favorites, clicking a heart-shaped button, with the most popular winning a trip to New York City for fashion week for two people, including hotel, backstage access to the shows, fine dining, and a makeup consultation at the NARS flagship boutique on Bleecker Street. Submissions are open through August 31.
Nars launched its first Makeup Your Mind book in 2001, and while that one still focused on celebrities and models, the two following books showed "everyday people...made up to look extraordinary."
Beauty brands are increasingly launching interactive destinations that are detached from their original websites and online shops, with latest examples including Chanel and Dior.
