Wanted: NARS in Heat Wave

I had the good fortune of meeting Francois Nars over the weekend and getting to chat with Mandy Moore a bit about her makeup routine. I found out that among her favorites are Heat Wave, which, I've learned, tops most peoples lists as an alternative to red that's not quite as drastic and warmer on most complexions. Apparently even J. Crew coated their models in their September catalog with the color because it looks that good on almost everyone. It's going to my next purchase--and I'll spend that much time mustering the courage to wear it, but I just love the way it looks.
