- OIL-ABSORBING MICROSPHERES: Mineral microspheres absorb surface oil to provide a skin-like, natural matte look all day long.
- PORE-REFINING TRIO: Minimizes the appearance of pores over time through a triple-action, pore-refining approach. Niacinamide is known to help improve the appearance of skin texture, Peptides help balance sebum and micro greens help improve skin elasticity to make pores less visible over time.
- INSTANT FILTER POWDER: Specialized powder utilizes its unique shape, size, and density to adhere closely to skin to create a seamless, buildable, and optically blurring veil for an instantly poreless and perfected look that won’t appear heavy or masking.

So good!
One of my favorite foundations, hands-down. This was also gifted by Nars, which I have been using for many years now. This formula gives the most natural, skin-like finish I've ever seen. It feels incredibly lightweight to the point where you forget you're even wearing foundation. It sets down into...

Matte not heavy
I've been using the Natural Matte Longwear Pore Blurring Coverage Foundation gifted by NARS, and overall I really like it. It's matte but still super lightweight, and it doesn't feel heavy or cakey on my skin. When I first apply it, it doesn't dry out my combination-dry skin and it gives a really sm...

Dry and flat
It seems i am in the minority here but i lowkey hate this foundation lol. I have combo skin with some redness and discoloration. This foundation is medium coverage, when i tried to build it up to full coverage it got cakey. It did feel light on the skin but also it didn't because it felt so drying that i wanted to scratch it off. The first time i wore this with only a moisturizer and that wasn't nearly enough hydration. Day 2 i wore it with my most hydrating primer and it felt less dry but it didn't look less dry. The finish for me was a very flat matte which i personally don't like. So yeah to sum it up its, drying, medium coverage, cakey, and has a flat finish. I was so bummed because everyone seems to love this product
It beats the soft matte version
I was so very upset when I found out they were going to be retiring the soft matte version and replacing it with this and I wasn't planning on picking it up but ulta had a sale and I decided to try it and I love it. It almost as matte as the soft matte version but its much lighter in texture. I love that you cant feel this on your face. I will say if you have the shade Alexandria in the light reflecting foundation that shade is a half a shade darker in this foundation but it still works for me.
Misleading Shade - Fiji 5
The Fiji 5 isn't the same shade as it was with the Soft Matte Complete Foundation. There's a harsh yellow tint with this product versus the discontinued matte. Complete waste of money.
Compared to Soft Matte Foundation
Reviewed at
I wanted to like this product as a replacement to the Soft Matte Foundation and tested two days. The new Natural Matte Longwear Foundation does not provide the same coverage. Appears to be thinner and not a full coverage foundation. The new foundation may work for someone looker for lighter coverage.

Way too drying, hard to blend in, does not smooth texture and harder to color match.
