I love strong looks, so to me, no makeup is strong. As long as it makes a statement, that's what I like. The girls look very real, and I'm probably the only makeup artist who will say that I love a woman without makeup.

From Francois Nars

I remember this time I worked with Linda Evangelista on a shoot for Richard Avedon. I just put grease on her face, and it was beautiful.

From Francois Nars

I think Edie Sedgwick comes back, too. Every five or six years, there is always something about Edie, because she was so modern and stylish and elegant and hippie-ish, all at the same time. So I think that people will always love her.

From Francois Nars

Makeup is very important for a show. It's really an accessory on the runway. You have to be sure that it fits the clothes.

From Francois Nars

I've seen makeup destroy people and make them look bad if it's badly done.

From Francois Nars

In a lot of cases, makeup is a fantastic help, and that's why women love makeup in general. It's a fantastic way to help somebody look great. It's not the only way, of course, but it's a major accessory, along with hair, clothes, lighting, all those things.

From Francois Nars

I thought make-up was a very sensual thing.

From Francois Nars

Being a studio make-up artist and working on magazines was the only thing I wanted to do.

From Francois Nars

There is a tendency to feature more actresses on covers, but I'm a big model lover. I grew up watching these models, and they gave me the wish, the need, to work in the fashion industry. I loved watching them - their beauty, the way they worked in front of the camera and that power of transformation, especially in the Seventies.

From Francois Nars

Sometimes I'm attracted to more odd girls with stronger faces and features or a softer beauty with a lot of character.
