A quick comparison between a few shades I use in the NARS range including the All Day Luminous Foundation in Stromboli and Barcelona and Velvet Matte Skin Tint in St.

Also I've been using the Nars ADLW continuously for several several months now and have become accustomed to its rich yellow olive tones, it's pretty much identical to and enhances my skins yellowness and depth so looks the best on me.A blend of Raspberry, Apple, and Watermelon Extracts to help support skin’s elastic fibers to smooth and improve texture over time for optimal radiance. Its been a while since I've written a foundation review, so to make up for it, I thought I would give you guys two reviews in one post. It also lives up to its weightless name, as the formula is so thin I can hardly feel it on my face, even though its obvious I'm wearing foundation due to the coverage.

Although the foundation can be built up for more coverage, this is the go-to product for a transparent, weightless foundation with sheer to medium coverage. Makeup-skincare hybrid formula instantly blurs imperfections, smooths the look of textured skin and pores, and helps conceal blemishes, dark spots, and redness. This is where I said it was linked to the finish, because whether I set it or not the foundation just doesn't look very attractive on me at all after a few hours. I was hoping this foundation would be similar to the Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Foundation ( review) but it isn't, it's not as beautiful and natural on the skin as the Power Fabric, the Power Fabric was really lightweight on the skin and had a lovely smoothing effect whilst still looking like skin. I'll be reviewing the newly released and highly anticipated Nars Foundation, the Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation (abbreviated as NRL for this review obvs).For any content that you submit, you grant Space NK a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable right and license to use, copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from and/or sell and/or distribute such content and/or incorporate such content into any form, medium or technology throughout the world without compensation to you. Nars say that the NRL is a medium to build-able full coverage foundation and I will agree, I would say from the first layer it provides a proper medium coverage, any redness is covered and my skin tone looks really even but my PIH marks are still visible, another layer or two just over those marks and they are completely concealed, I also have used this under my eyes over the top of some orange corrector and it's concealed my dark circles really well. I don't mean to say that the NRL isn't a good foundation, it definitely has its good points but it's honestly fallen a little short of my expectations and I've just not had the best or ideal experiences with it. NARS’ Skin Optimizing Complex—a blend of raspberry, apple, and watermelon extracts—helps support skin’s elastic fibers to smooth and improve skin’s appearance over time for optimal radiance.

The covergae of this foundation is fantastic, its one of the highest coverage bases I have ever owned and you can really achieve a blank canvas look with this. Sadly right now Stromboli is not on their site, but it is worth checking it out to see if yours is there. I first saw beautycrush, use this base and then Shaanxo and it didn't take me long to pick it up myself!I'm also working on the Fenty foundation which I really really like, as well as a couple of other foundations, they'll hopefully be a bit more positive than this one and it'll hopefully get me back into the swing of things as I did feel a bit all over the place with this review! A standout star of the brands coveted complexion products, this foundation grants sheer yet buildable coverage and a glowing, luminous finish. My favorite formula from NARS is still the Velvet Matte Skin Tint because I like something that feels more weightless without any dewy look. In the full spectrum of 40 versatile shades, this foundation grants a subtly luminous finish thats great for dryer skin types but also not too dewy for those with oilier complexions its the go-to product for a transparent, weightless finish with the versatility to be built up. This foundation works best when warmed up in the hand before being applied on the desired areas, it also works as a concealer.
