Online ShoppingDepartment Store
Nars is a makeup and skincare brand founded by photographer and makeup artist Francois Nars, known for products like the Orgasm blush and a range that leans into bold color and a photo-ready finish. Shiseido acquired Nars in 2000, and the brand sells through its own site, department-store beauty counters, and retailers like Sephora and Ulta. There is no Nars-branded credit card, so shoppers should look to a department-store or general online-shopping rewards card, or a flat-rate cashback card, to earn on Nars purchases rather than expecting a beauty-specific bonus category.
