I finally decided to give the Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation (my shade L4 Light Deauville) a try and I think this is my favorite foundation I have ever worn! It applies so easily and it is so smooth! In my opinion it does blend better with the beauty blender vs a brush, but both ways blended extremely well I just prefer the beauty blender. This is honestly one of the most light weight foundations I have ever worn, like seriously it didn't even feel like there was anything on my face at all! It did deliver later in the afternoon and I tried it as soon as I got it so I only had about 5 hours of wear time and I was just kind of hanging out doing some chores around the house and took the dogs out for a long walk but through sweat and everything it held up so ... MoreI finally decided to give the Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation (my shade L4 Light Deauville) a try and I think this is my favorite foundation I have ever worn!

It looks so smooth on the face, it doesn't get cakey at all, even at the end of the 5 hour period! I am interested to see how long it actually does last as it boasts a 16 hour wear, I will report back tomorrow to let you all know but I was so excited that I had to share my thoughts and opinions. Last but not least the coverage was quite lovely, I would say more of a medium coverage but definitely buildable to a full if you desire! Overall like I stated at the beginning this foundation is now one of my absolute favorites even over my Charlotte Tilbury ones, and that says a lot because I really like the beautiful skin foundation by her, but this one is number 1 in my collection now, retail is $49.00 USD but right now (today 9/10/2022) if you go to narscosmetics.com add it to your cart use the code SUMMER at checkout for 20% off to make the price $39.20 USD (Side note I am loving this lip in the attached picture also from Nars, it's the Velvet Matte lip pencil in the shade Cruella and then the Afterglow Lip Shine in the shade Broken Glass over-top, so hot! That 20% is site wide not just for the foundation wink wink😏😚) DON'T LET THE 20% OFF PASS YOU BY!! MY SHADE AGAIN IS THE - L4 LIGHT DEAUVILLE - -

Amaze!

The best foundation I have ever tried so far. My skin type is normal, but prone to breakouts and dry undereyes and eyelids. My forehead, nose, and parts of cheeks get a bit oily as the day goes on. This foundation is no exception, I love the glow I get wearing it throughout the day. It's my first try of this foundation but I love it. I will say skin prep is essential. I use specialised skincare for my acne scarring and there was an exfoliating toner I stopped using as I ran out of it. This foundation definitely emphasised a lot of texture, looked cakey, and clung to patches, some I didn't even know I had and I wasn't really happy with how it looked. Since repurchasing the toner and being able to use it again, the foundation looks a lot better on my skin and I really ... MoreThe best foundation I have ever tried so far.

It's very longlasting too and wears really nicely throughout the day, with minimal signs of wear and tear.

Brings out pores and no durability

I only bought this foundation because the Ulta employ said this would probably be a good one for me. She was able to find a good shade for me which that is the only that is good about this foundation. I don't know if its just my skin type or what has going on but it was so hard to blend out. And it never drys. After I apply it 20 mins later half of it is missing. I have tried it for a week and I would return it but lost my receipt. It brings out my pores more. And barely has coverage and if you add more product to build up coverage it looks awful. I always struggle with my make up transferring on to things but this product took it to another level. I have tried putting primer and not putting any. I have tried not touching my face. I have tried putting a little bit ... MoreI only bought this foundation because the Ulta employ said this would probably be a good one for me.

I have tried putting primer and not putting any. I have tried not touching my face. I have tried putting a little bit of product and either way this product disappears off my face or just sinks into all of my pores and makes them pop more than what they are. Honestly I'm very insecure about my acne but I would rather where no make than you keep wearing this product. It looks terrible. If you are thinking about it just don't.

Don't believe the hype!

I'm kicking myself that I didn't read more reviews on this foundation before purchasing, instead I was completely sucked into the hype. I first used this for an event that started late afternoon, when I left the house the foundation looked amazing, my skin had a lovely soft blur to it. However when I came home from the event (around 10pm) I noticed that my face looked dry and the foundation had completely separated around my mouth and cheeks. I have normal skin which can go slightly dry or oily depending on the weather. I put my first experience down to the freezing temperature and perhaps my coat was rubbing the foundation away, but I was wrong. This formula is really strange and not long lasting at all. I've used this a couple more times recently with a richer ... MoreI'm kicking myself that I didn't read more reviews on this foundation before purchasing, instead I was completely sucked into the hype.

I felt so embarrassed when I looked in the mirror at the end of the night!

Great coverage and skin-like

This Nars foundation is absolutely beautiful and applies so easily and seamlessly. My shade is Fiji and I cannot wait for it to be back in stock soon at SpaceNK so I can repurchase it. I find the foundation really flattering as it makes my skin look flawless and like my skin but better. There is no cakiness or creasing with this foundation for me, nor does it feel greasy or heavy on my skin. I would say the only minor issue I notice is it can emphasise some of my pores, but I get that with any foundation really and it’s only when I haven’t adequately prepped my skin with a proper primer first. Aside from EL Double Wear this is my fav foundation at the moment and easily one that I am happy to splurge on for the high quality and just how flawless it makes my skin ... MoreThis Nars foundation is absolutely beautiful and applies so easily and seamlessly.

The coverage is medium but easily buildable, and it’s able to cover most blemishes or pigmentation marks with ease. I also love the sleek, aesthetically pleasing bottle. Nars have really nailed this formula and I highly recommend this foundation!

Love it

This has been my favourite foundation for the last couple of year and I'm a high end foundation junky! First of all, I love how easy it is to blend it, it really blends like a dream. It's a must for me. The coverage is amazing too and a bit goes a long way. I get good medium coverage out of it as this is what I like but it would be very easy to achieve full coverage with just a bit more product. The finish makes me think of natural/soft matte/satin finish. Which is beautiful. It looks more natural/soft matte when you first apply it and then as the day goes on it looks satin, even more so when the weather is humid.I would definitely say that it's a long lasting foundation, but not quite in the same category as Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation but still long ... MoreThis has been my favourite foundation for the last couple of year and I'm a high end foundation junky!

I set it with Chanel POUDRE UNIVERSELLE LIBRE, which is another amazing product that goes very well with this foundation.

Not full coverage, not neutral toned

I absolutely love the formulation of this - it feels so light and natural on my skin and I do find it long wearing. Unfortunately, it is NOT full coverage. If you have acne or acne scarring, I would not recommend this because it will not cover it up. (And if you get the Bars concealer, it's lighter than the foundation so it will highlight your acne instead of covering it up). I would also NOT call this a true neutral undertone. It is VERY pink. Usually I am the second lightest neutral shade in a foundation but this is noticeably too pink for me. I can't pull off wearing it because it creates a stark, noticeable line between my natural skin tone and my foundation. I'm not sure if the lightest shade (which says it's a warm undertone) would be a better match.

One of the highly disappointing foundations

I never go and write review but this foundation made me do. I decided to upgrade my foundation to use after wedding at parties and etc. after alot of research and good reviews i decided to go for it ( since its an expensive brand). The online tool helped me get the exact shade (which i was very pleased with) . But then came the foundation. It cracked on my skin like it was not holding on to my skin could see it flaking ( i have one of the least complicated skins). I tried with primer, without primer, with mositurizer without mositurizer. but i did not just work. I had to wash my face after doing my half makeup ( alot of time wasted) as it made my skin look so awful. this happened at 3 different times.

I am not here writing bad review out of spite rather disappointment for product I had high expectation from. The foundation barely few pump used is sitting on my table since last december and reminds me of money wasted.I'll suggest others to please go in person to test the foundation and see if it works.

So disappointed

I really wanted to love this… and maybe I got a dud as it’s the opposite to all other reviews.It’s so light and liquid on application, which I like, blends perfectly and I got a great colour match in store. That’s where the good bit ends.On application, the foundation settles into all pores and creases. No amount of brushing, dabbing, tapping or smearing will help. Perhaps I would need to try a silicone based primer to overcome that?Anyway, it immediately highlights any dryness on my skin. If I try to add moisture, it moves the foundation and takes it off.After a couple of hours, the make up is surfaced, greasy and moves across my face. My under eye creases and pores are exaggerated by the foundation settling there. If I blot with tissue, the whole lot comes ... MoreI really wanted to love this… and maybe I got a dud as it’s the opposite to all other reviews.It’s so light and liquid on application, which I like, blends perfectly and I got a great colour match in store.

I used Laura mercies translucent powder which doesn’t help either.I have normal/combo skin with hormonal blemishes (35).I don’t experience these issues with erborian BB/CC creams, nor my faithful Estée Lauder double wear.Such a shame
