(Just so you know, NARS reformulated their foundations fairly recently - about 6 months ago - and this new Sheer Matte is WAY better than the old one.) I LOVE this foundation! I have tried...

I love this foundation! I have extremely oily skin and I'm pale, so it's usually hard to find good foundations. Or even foundations, for that matter. I have it in Siberia, and it's honestly...

I didn't like this foundation. It gave nice coverage, but it looked extremely cakey and was hard to blend. It looked really nice when the SA put it on me and she said it looked completely...

I went into Sephora looking for a shade match. I was so frustrated that I didn't care how much the foundation cost, if they could find me a match, I'd buy it. The SA directed me to NARS Sheer Matte...

Even though it's called 'sheer matte' the coverage is VERY easy to build. Yet at the same time, it gives no plastic mask effect like EL DoubleWear did for me. It doesn't feel like you've painted...
