NARS: Maybe . . . I mean, the good part about X-Ray was the fact that it mixed together so many different people. So many people have asked me, “Why don’t you do a second X-Ray?” So now I’m supposed to do a second one, which I’m going to start in May. All of the people I could not get the first time—I’m gonna photograph them now. NARS: And that’s how I believe we became better and better—me for makeup; you in front of the camera. The more you work and the more you start being molded by the photographer- and by the hair, by the makeup, and discovering new angles, new makeup, and all that—that’s how you built up into being who you are today. But that, to me, is completely gone. I mean, which girl today do you see growing and transforming herself into an icon? There are not many. EVANGELISTA: When you work with a retoucher, do you talk to them and tell them what you want? Or do you sit there and guide them, direct them? EVANGELISTA: Why did you move to New York in the beginning? Did they not need makeup artists in the South of France?

EVANGELISTA: But you know he gave away prints to so many people. NARS: Well, unfortunately never to me. answered already.

That’s why it’s so good. It’s not pink. It’s not peach. It’s not apricot.EVANGELISTA: There’s always so much hype when you launch a new collection. The blogs go crazy. Does that freak you out?

EVANGELISTA: Because initially, the rest of the girls were all “show” girls and I wasn’t. I didn’t have a place yet. I wasn’t a “print” girl or a “show” girl. I felt like I was the new one. NARS: Well, now it’s getting quite big. We create a lot of products. After almost 20 years, you also have to be sure that you don’t recreate something that you’ve done already.EVANGELISTA: I think I might know someone who can do it. Speaking of video cameras, do you remember the video camera we bought together on the street? EVANGELISTA: You know, I would never do that for anyone else. You know what a prude I am. I mean, I had to hold my hands over my boobs when you did my makeup. [ both laugh] NARS: I love the architecture magazines and all of the French magazines for decoration or whatever. I end up enjoying them more sometimes than the fashion magazines. NARS: It’s a good one. But I designed this color like I would have designed any other color. I swear I never thought this was a special color.
