    This is a great oil-free, non-comedogenic foundation that dries to a matte finish. You do need to work fast when applying it as it does dry rather quickly but it gives a great finish to the skin!...

    The coverage is what I was looking for. It is somewhat like diorskin nude foundation but NARS is matte. Sheer matte stays an average 4 to 5 hours on me without leaving me oily but the only downside...

    The coverage was exactly what I was looking for in the summer, but this breaks me out in tiny bumps all over my forehead. I keep shelving it and thinking something else is causing the bumps, but...

    I actually really like this product besides the fact that it lacks a pump. It has good oil control, it is matte and it is very buildable. I don't even have to apply concealer prior to application....

    It's a good foundation, if you take the time to blend it. When I first bought it I loved it but as I've been using it, I notice it is difficult to blend. It's gorgeous once it's blended nicely,...
