I reckon it's all in its name - NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. I was quite skeptical about this product due to its very mixed reviews - many people have complained about how transferable the formula is. More testing needed with a NARS specific primer or powder. Furthermore, air-conditioning is not kind to most of my foundations, so this could be a contributing factor to why it separated on my skin and easily transferred.Īs an everyday foundation, worn for a short time period = 9/10Īs a longwearing foundation = 7/10. It just doesn’t last on me! Honestly though, I did expect a lot from the performance of a ‘long-wear’ foundation and would love to know how others have found it. It is hydrating and applies water-light with a beautiful finish. Overall, I loved how this foundation initially applies and feels. This product does not like to be touched up! Maybe I need to use a NARS powder? I haven’t got one of those. I’ve still got a bit of a sheen going on, so I try to pat and blend this but my coverage moves a bit. okay not so bad! Definitely better than yesterday. Lunchtime comes and I look in the mirror with bated breath. I spritzed it with setting spray and left it to dry before I applied contour, blush and highlight (no powder this time, in case it was this combo that didn’t work). My skin still feels like skin, and the formula is breathable. It didn’t grab, although I do use more this time (obvs) and my coverage is noticeably fuller. ![]() Once again, the foundation spreaded well. After waiting for the product to sink in, I then applied a mattifying primer. After yesterday’s result, I applied a light moisturiser and no serum. (Side note: I try to NEVER touch my face at work (ew, germs) so the performance of foundation shouldn’t have been compromised by this). ![]() By 6pm, it’s pretty much what you would expect – light coverage remaining, but not the best finish! Other foundations tend to cope well with this base, and my skin isn’t super oily at the moment so I would have expected this formula to last well. Disclaimer I do use very hydrating skincare to prep my skin in the morning but it’s because I feel I need it in the office when I feel like I’m slowly turning into a prune by 6pm. It was disappointing for a long-wear foundation! I had creasing under my eyes and the dryness around my nose and corners of my lips was accentuated. A gentle wipe to blend moves my coverage and you can see all of my pores underneath. Unfortunately, by about lunchtime (six hours of wear in controlled air conditioning), the foundation was sitting on top of my skin in a glossy, entirely unsexy layer. I tried this without a primer on a grey Auckland day to test the longevity. I had a small amount of creasing under my eyes initially, but I tidied it up with powder. The product blended well with my blush and contour and didn’t grab in any drier patches. I loved how easily the product spread - you only need a little to cover your whole face, and for any additional coverage, the formula was easily buildable. I added a light dusting of translucent powder to my t-zone and I’m good to go. The finish was naturally radiant as promised. The yellow instantly knocked out any faded redness from my scarring and balanced my complexion beautifully. I prefer to apply with my fingertips and press the foundation into my skin. The formula is liquid light and impressively pigmented for a light-weight foundation. It’s a perfect match, colour wise - we are off to a great start! I wear Deauville, which is a light pink with yellow undertones to balance and neutralise my skin.
