For best results, apply to clean, moisturized skin without primer. Dispense one pump or a pearl-size amount of Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation and warm with fingertips. Always warm liquid foundation in the hand and apply with fingertips, as this creates the most natural-looking finish. Focus on one area at a time and blend well. Start where more coverage is needed (typically in the center of the face) and work out toward the edge of the face. Too much formula accentuates lines and imperfections. Avoid excess application around eyes or contours of the face.

- Q
Would this foundation pair well with a two faced concealer?
- Asked by Foundation
- Official Answer By NARS - BEYes, NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation can pair well with Too Faced concealers, especially if you are using one with a similar finish like Born This Way for a natural, radiant look. Just make sure both formulas agree with your skin type and that shades blend seamlessly. For the best match and performance, try pairing it with NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer—they are designed to work together for a smooth, longwearing finish. --Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
How do I know my skin's undertone or shade? Also, I recently bought the estee Lauder double wear foundation, but found that it goes on rather cakey, and it texturizes on my face. Should I use a blender sponge or a brush? I'm not new to makeup in general, but there are so many different brands and ways to put it on now it's just a bit overwhelming.
- Asked by Kels
- Official Answer By NARS - BEThank you for sharing your experience—it can definitely feel overwhelming with so many options. To find your skin's undertone: – Cool undertones lean pink, red, or blue – Warm undertones lean yellow, peachy, or golden – Neutral undertones are a balance of both Check your veins (blue = cool, green = warm) or how you look in silver vs gold jewelry (silver flatters cool, gold flatters warm). As for application: if your foundation looks cakey or emphasizes texture, try a damp sponge lor a more seamless, skin-like finish. The Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation has a more breathable, radiant formula than some matte options—perfect if you found other foundations too heavy. --Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

I use Urban Decay 40 or 50NN Nutrual undertones. What is the best match with NARS.

- Q
What is the difference between the light reflecting foundation and the natural radiant foundation?
- Asked by Elsa
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Natural Radiant Longwear and Light Reflecting Foundation formulas.

The Natural Radiant Longwear formula also provides 16-hour wear. While the Light Reflecting formula is also long-wearing, it has not been tested for a specific wear time. Both are gorgeous formulas! - Samantha, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Love this
Ive been using this foundation for the past four years. Ive tried all the new trends - ilia, kylie cosmetics, saie, too faced, clinique, MAC, YSL, haus labs, and Chanel. No matter what i alway find myself going back to this foundation. The day this is discontinued will be the day i give up makeup. Couldnt imagine a full glan eithout this!
the colors not on the bottle
weird. the color is not on the product. only on the box (which nobody saves). otherwise it would be 4 stars but since such a pain to reorder I'm downgrading. I need the color to reorder online. so stupid.
Orange Skin
The formula for this foundation just isn't good. When you first buy it, it seems like a perfect match for your skin and then it oxidizes really quickly. The pigmentation is completely off with this one. I used to swear by and live by Nars.
I would buy this once and not refill
It is supposed to be long wear and it did last but it started to separate after about 30 minutes, and yes I shook the bottle. I also have very red checks naturally and I thought it would be more full coverage but it really didn't cover them, but this might just be me.
GORGEOUS foundation
I have purchased Dior, Lancome, Estee Lauder, etc etc etc and all of them fell short of what I was looking for. The beauty specialist helped me select this Nars foundation and it is PERFECTION. I am thrilled.
