About the Brand

François Nars launched his eponymous brand in 1994 with a mere 12 lipsticks, quickly establishing a reputation for high-pigment formulas and famously provocative product names. Now owned by the Japanese cosmetics giant Shiseido, the label has grown into a global prestige beauty staple, favoured by both professional make-up artists and everyday consumers looking for reliable, high-performance colour cosmetics and skincare.

The core range covers everything from their award-winning Radiant Creamy Concealer and iconic Orgasm blush to a vast array of foundations and lip products. Prices sit firmly in the premium bracket, but the payoff and longevity of the products generally justify the investment. Shoppers can buy directly through the UK website, which frequently runs site-wide promotions and limited-edition gift sets.

Beyond the standard catalogue, we always point out the distinct avenues for savings and professional perks. Make-up artists can apply for the NARS Pro Program to secure up to 40% off products, while students and NHS staff can verify their status via UNiDAYS or Blue Light Card for a 15% discount. The direct-to-consumer site also provides free delivery on orders over £25 and a straightforward 30-day returns window if a shade doesn’t quite work out.

We find that pairing these built-in perks with the voucher codes listed below is the most effective way to stock up on your beauty essentials without paying full price.

Shopping Guide

When is the best time to buy NARS make-up? While the brand runs promotions for roughly two-thirds of the year, we find the deepest cuts usually appear during their “Last Chance” events. This is when they clear out discontinued shades and limited-edition gift sets at up to 30% off the RRP. We always recommend checking this section before buying full-priced staples, as you can often find identical formulas in slightly older packaging for a fraction of the cost.

Is the NARS Pro Program worth applying for? If you work in the beauty industry, absolutely. The NARS Pro Program offers up to 40% off products, which vastly outperforms the standard 15% student or NHS discounts. You will need to provide proof of your professional status—like a freelance portfolio or employment letter—during the application process. Once approved, we believe the savings on high-end foundations and palettes easily justify the minor administrative hassle.

How do I combine offers for maximum savings? NARS generally restricts stacking multiple promo codes at checkout, so you have to be strategic. If you are a student or NHS worker, use your verified 15% code on full-priced items rather than things already in the sale. Alternatively, wait for a free gift with purchase promotion and apply your newsletter sign-up code to hit the £45 minimum spend, effectively getting a free deluxe sample alongside your discount.
