The team at Models Direct has just caught a glimpse of this stunning shot of Mariacarla Boscono for the NARS 2011 Holiday Campaign.

We all have to agree that the Italian, with her porcelain skin and ethereal bone structure, makes the perfect beauty model to highlight the luxurious cosmetics brand’s new colours.

Created by make-up artist and company founder François Nars, the new winter-chic Holiday Collection pairs shimmery, bold and rich colours. Lips offer the perfect balance of luminous and matte shades, while eyes smoulder in exquisite, mysterious black hues infused with red, purple, gunmetal pearl or shimmer.

We think Boscono’s finished look, which sees her wearing Arabian Nights Trio Eyeshadows, Joyous Red Lipstick and G-Spot The Multiple – François Nars’ original multi-purpose stick for eyes, cheeks, lips and body- is haute couture, dramatic and opulent.
