Normally if I saw the words 'hydrating', 'radiant' and 'moisturising' on a foundation bottle, I would stay as far away from it as possible and run and hide... under the bed. But now I'm on accutane I cannot get enough of anything that gives me glowy and radiant vibes... bathe me in it. So this is the first foundation I bought when my skin started to become dry (like sandpaper).
First off, NARS never fails to impress with packaging. The glass bottle is so sleek and also has a pump (praise be!) that pumps just the right amount so I don't waste any.
This foundation can definitely get to full coverage, but with a sponge can give a nice medium coverage, which I prefer for everyday.
The consistency is pretty 'liquidy' which I don't mind and the formula is so beautiful on the skin. The foundation looks glowy and radiant without looking like I've just ran a marathon. It still looks like my skin when I'm wearing this which I also love, without looking too heavy.
This is also super long wear! I can put this on in the morning and know full well it will look exactly the same if I'm going out in the evening. This isn't transfer proof though, if I wear a scarf it does come off round my jaw line, but I don't really mind because I don't expect miracles
The only criticism I have is that NARS foundations tend to pull a little yellow on me no matter how close a match it is. I use the shade Deauville (light 4), which is a really close match, but still pulls a tad yellow, so check in the daylight before you buy!
Overall I love this foundation! As my skin is recovering from acne, I'll probably steer more towards lighter coverage foundations to show off all my hard work on accutane. But I would repurchase this and keep it for special events because it really is beautiful, long wearing and it really is a foundation I could put on and know it would look great on good and bad skin days!
