If you need me…I’ll be on the mothership, also known as the new NARS 2050 Fillmore boutique in San Francisco
New favorite plaaaace!

Poor El Hub. now when we check out San Francisco together, he’ll have to find something to do while I play with makeup at the new NARS 2050 Fillmore Boutique.

My first observation: there are no man couches in the store. nowhere to park El Hub while I peruse, so I guess I’ll just have to dispatch him down the street to get hold of a snack at one of the bustling shops or cafes in the neighborhood (it’s in the Fillmore). “Um, babe. Why don’t you go get a cupcake? Mmm… You like cupcakes. Ei kiirettä. I’ll text you in an hour.”

The new store is the third for NARS in the US. They also have stores in new York and Los Angeles.

Welcome, welcome, one and all! The store is very welcoming by design — not intimidating in any way — which I like. According to Fillmore boutique manager Alexia Ogle, “Like François Nars always says, ‘Don’t be so serious. It’s only makeup.’”

That’s the kind of environment the company wanted to create. “We want clients to come in and have fun,” Alexia says, “and that’s why we’re here.”

The 700-square-foot store carries everything in the NARS line (including those hard-to-find pumps for NARS foundations, woo hoo!) and supplies touch-ups and makeup application, complimentary of charge. If you’re interested in trying a product first before buying, they also offer samples.

The NARS 2050 Fillmore boutique is open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. sunnuntaisin. If you’d like to get your makeup done by one of the friendly NARS artists, just walk in, or you can also book an appointment ahead of time by calling (415) 757-2485.

Master classes with NARS artists are on the horizon, as are small, intimate seminars for NARS fans who want to learn a lot more about the products and seasonal trends.

Hei! I think I just found a new home away from home.
