My first Nars
I'm in love. This is my first Nars foundation purchase and it's gorgeous on my skin. I did a shade match and it was spot on. Flawless and lightweight. Wore it for 11 hours and it didn't move and was not oily. I'm in the shade Deep 5 Zambie. It definitely makes your skin glow in a healthy way.

Great coverage
I had the opportunity to ty the NARS light reflecting foundation. The color didn't match me the way other foundation do, but it did provide great coverage without more than a dime-quarter size amount. The foundation didn't cake at all and didn't run after a spin work out. Overall, I think it's a gre...

Favorite foundation but cap came off and spilled everywhere
I've been buying this for years, I guess I got a defective cap. We were traveling and got to our destination and it came open and leaked inside my makeup bag. I had to go to a department store and replace it while we were traveling. I'm going to be returning this bottle to the store today. Hopefully this is just one case of this happening.
My Fave
I don't love the price, but I do love how it looks on my textured skin. It's also the closest match I have ever had. It appears skin like, is smoothing, and mixes well with all of my skin care. I wear the shade Lagos, and I can only find it at Ulta, I hope they don't get rid of it!!!
I wanted to love this so much...
I wanted so much to love this foundation and make it work, but it just didn't for me which is sad because it did help my skin. It oxidized on me, settled into every line, wrinkle, and pore, and looked like a shiny mask. The amount of money I've spent on this foundation and trying various things to make it work is obnoxious so I have to replace it.
Moisturizing and not drying
Switched to NARS after using Estee and I love how dewy (but not too dewy) and natural this looks on my skin. Feels natural without feeling heavy.
Looks amazing but can't get past the smell
This foundation is absolutely gorgeous. It goes on beautifully and stays throughout the day. It is definitely a dewy finish it that is what you are looking for. Unfortunately i could not get past the smell. I am not super sensitive when it comes to smells, but this straight up smells like im putting bug spray or something on my face. Its not just a light smell either its very strong and pungent.
