Photography aficionados and make-up lovers are in for a treat this Christmas, as NARS’ gifting collection has been inspired by modernist visual artist Man Ray.

A significant contributor to the surrealist movement – along with Breton, Dalí, Ernst and Magritte – Ray was also a renowned fashion photographer.

To celebrate Ray, NARS features several of his most notable works including Larmes (aka Glass Tears), The Veil and Observatory Time: The Lovers.
