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. First impressions, as with all NARS foundations – they pay great attention to diversity and there is an impressive selection of shades for a range of undertones.
