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...

Great foundation for 40+ skin. Last all day!
My go-to for my dry skin
I've tried MAC, Estee, Urban Decay and Lancome, but this NARS foundation is my go-to. It's lightweight, buildable, blurs flaws, illuminates skin, ah-mazing formula! Tip: exfoliate, moisturize and prime before use for best results. ;-)
Love this make up!
This product gives me beautiful velvety, bright skin. They have so many colors and finishes.
Didn't work for me
Pro: It's the best shade match I've found in years. Con: It highlighted every dry patch on my face. Other foundations blended into these areas much better. This foundation practically pointed a red, blinking light at the dry spots.
Found my new go-to foundation
Super impressed with this foundation. I've used Estee Lauder's Double Wear in Shell for a while and it's nice, but it would feel heavy on my face and sometimes come off even after setting it. I decided to splurge on this after hearing so many good things and what an absolute game changer. Virtually perfect color match (I wear the shade Oslo), breathable, builds up well depending on how much coverage you want, and it stays in place great. I've only been wearing it and the concealer for about a week now, yet I've already gotten tons of compliments on my makeup. It's expensive but absolutely worth the price point.
