All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation - # 3 Benares/Dark by NARS for Women - 1 oz Foundation

Keblackman I have never been so impressed by a Foundation before until I started using this... it is incredible. It is the most high-tech innovative formula that I have ever come across in a foundation. I was initially drawn to it at the beginning mainly because it is Oil free, Fragrance free, Alcohol free but was blown away by everything else it actually does! I have noticed that it has a lot of mixed reviews and I am sure it is a lot to do with how it is applied to the skin. I think people could be going wrong when applying this with a brush or a sponge? I know people really dislike using their hands to apply foundations, but Nars recommend fingers and one pump of the product, which I believe is without a doubt the best way to apply this. If you watch the application of this by the actual Nars MUA on YouTube then you can see why. It is extremely high coverage and blends out effortlessly with your fingers and that's why you could get away with just the one pump of the product! Also in Desi Perkins favourite foundation review she said she actually purchased this foundation by mistake as was after the Sheer Glow but thought she would use it anyway... When she first used it she thought ‘whatever' about it. She said she went back to it and for some reason, applied it with her fingers (which she never does) and she changed her whole opinion of it and said how impressed she was and how long it lasted in a hot climate and beautiful it looked on the skin. I am incredibly oily and I just put a light dusting of powder over it to set it.... I use blotting sheets on my skin throughout the day and it does not budge at all, no separation and I can easily go from day to night without touching up. So impressed with this that I actually brought a second bottle (which I never ever do with foundations) and I got the lighter shade for winter as the Santa Fe shade was getting to be the wrong undertone for me this time of year so turned to the Fiji shade which is now perfect. I think I would be daft to turn to anything else Now I have finally found the perfect foundation for me. I highly recommend!

I am really fair skinned naturally but I use false tan if I am going out, I have found a shade for both which match really well! I also have a bit of combination skin so I've been testing a lot of different brands to find a foundation that suits me. I absolutely love this one! I like to have a full coverage which this one certainly does and you only need a small amount to cover your face! It's really blendable and evens out perfectly, it stays matte all day and doesn't become patchy like I have found with other brands. Definitely recommend :)
