Seeing all the holiday makeup collections before they hit stores is a perk of the job. We get giddy just thinking about what Nars will debut each holiday season. Last year, their provocative Guy Bourdin collection practically sold out in seconds. We expect no less of this year's collection.

The Nars holiday makeup collection for 2014, Laced With Edge, has us anxiously awaiting the collection's launch online October 15, and in stores November 1. It features unexpected shade selections, brand new formulas and packaging worthy of vanity display year-round.

The glossy black web design over the iconic Nars packaging comes from LA-based architect and designer Christ Kabatsi, who created the digitally rendered print to be a modern take on lace. As for the gorgeous shades, François Nars says, "The collection has this energy and mystery about it, which I love."
