In the NARS Andy Warhol Holiday Collection 2012 there are three parts: the Color Collection, the Silver Factory and the Pop Collection. In this post I will be showing you the Silver Factory Collection.
EVERYBODY IS A SUPERSTAR. AT LEAST FOR 15 MINUTES.
In a new makeup gifting collection for department and specialty stores, NARS
captures the spirit of Warhol’s Silver Factory. The edgy energy of the Screen
Tests, the intense color of the silkscreens, and the cool of Warhol’s superstars –
underground icons and downtown divas who amazed audiences just by being
themselves. For Andy the factory characters were like a full spectrum palette –
personality as color.
EYESHADOW PALETTES $55
Palettes feature variations on Andy Warhol’s painting, Self Portrait, 1967.
Chrome logo on compact and Andy Warhol quotes on mirrors.
SELF PORTRAIT 1 (black, bright periwinkle blue, and vibrant green)
SELF PORTRAIT 2 (black, white, and silver)
SELF PORTRAIT 3 (dark brown with shimmer overspray, rose pink, and heather blue)
Available exclusively at Department and Specialty stores, NARS Flagship
Boutiques, and on November 1st at narscosmetic.com.
SILVER FACTORY GIFT SET $200
Andy listed his occupation as ‘Factory Owner.’ He called his silver-foiled studio
‘The Factory’ because for him art was work, and it took a team to make it. His
‘superstars’ surrounded him there, but he said he was hanging around them.

SILVER FACTORY MULTIPLE (aluminum)
SHADOWS TRIO EYESHADOW (aluminum, bright deep purple, and matte black)

EDIE GIFT SET $75
Edie Sedgwick was the sixties It Girl, with the biggest eyes, the shortest skirt and
longest legs. For Edie life was a non-stop performance. Edie and Andy were silver
haired lookalikes. Andy said “she had more problems than anybody I ever met,”
but she was his muse and if Andy were a girl he would have been Edie.

FILM STAR PURE MATTE LIPSTICK (60s nude pink)

BEAUTIFUL DARLING GIFT SET $49
Candy was the ultimate blonde bombshell. She was Andy’s greatest actress, even
though she was a man. She said “You must always be yourself no matter what the
price. It is the highest form of morality.” She thought beauty was a duty and worked
harder at it than anyone.

was shy of strangers but he liked being famous. He said it gave him an aura.

BACK ROOM (black)
SOUP CAN (perfect red)
