The New York-born makeup artist brand "NARS" has collaborated with NYLON JAPAN to produce a beauty shoot featuring the popular girl group HANA. The cover and cover story, to be released in the May issue of NYLON JAPAN on Friday, March 27, 2026, feature the group wearing the "Light Reflecting Collection"—the high-performance base makeup that achieves transparency through light reflection—as well as the long-awaited spring debut of the "Light Reflecting Luminizing Stick" and "Light Reflecting Luminizing Blush," color makeup items that add vibrant color and delicate radiance to the skin.
In the May issue of NYLON JAPAN, in addition to the cover proudly adorned by HANA, we present a beauty story inspired by "Thumbelina," a tale that excited everyone in their childhood. The 26-page cover story captures the exclusive visuals of HANA—from "buds" hidden deep in the forest with a raw impulse to "want to sing," to transforming the "thorns" of friction and conflict with the world into noble armor, and finally reigning as "stars" that emit their own light while wearing NARS makeup—accompanied by a long interview. The issue also includes a luxurious set of double-sided mini photo cards that are collector's items.
Furthermore, a special page for NARS and HANA is scheduled to be published on the NYLON JAPAN website, "nylon.jp," starting Wednesday, April 1. We plan to introduce more detailed information on the items used and how-to guides.
Witness the overwhelming presence of HANA, amplified by NARS makeup, and the moment of their awakening into legend in the May issue of NYLON JAPAN.
