So I was "meh" about this foundation for awhile bc I didn't follow the brands instructions. I was putting dots of it on my face and blending with a sponge or brush and it looked okay but the real...

I wouldn't say this is the worst foundation I have ever used, but it is certainly something I would not repurchase. The biggest problem with this product is that it nearly impossible to blend. The...

Looks just awful on. It highlighted any lines and made my pores look HUGE. I just could not get it to blend in and I used it with a primer. Looked very aging on me.

Here to retract my earlier opinion on this foundation as being utterly useless. It works like CT Hollywood filter mixed with other foundations BUT it’s definitely drier. I’ve to prep and prime...

I bought this after reading good reviews. I have dry skin, some fine lines. This product sits on top of my skin and actually separates. I tried without primer, same results. I bought NARS primer,...

I got this at the same time as Sheer Glow and I prefer Sheer Glow but this is pretty good. It’s a medium coverage. I love the pump. I love that NARS has a reliable shade that works for me in...

This foundation gives a really good, matte coverage. I like how there is no orange tone to it, like MAC sometimes can have. It lasts a VERY long time. The packaging is ok, it does tend to get...

I had just about given up on foundation. All of the sudden most foundations just didn’t look good, settled in lines and pores and aged me tremendously. At 52 I have pretty good skin a few fine...

I love how light this feels while still providing a lot of coverage. Deauville is always a great match for me but this formula is the best I’ve tried of all of the Nars formulas. It’s not too dry...

I picked this up in the shade Gobi, which is a better match on my NC15 skin than sheer glow in the same shade (sheer glow was way too light and made me look ghostly). In comparison to Sheer Glow,...

Overhyped and underwhelming. My face hates this, unfortunately. It goes on greasy, it's not buildable, and it ends up looking makeup-ey. It gives coverage on areas where I dont need it, and little...
