It’s been a
while since I have really found a foundation that I have really liked. Nars All
Day Luminous Weightless Foundation (and BREATHE!) is a keeper. I have been
testing it out over the past month and can finally say YES, PEOPLE! THIS IS THE
ONE! (well for me, at least).
The
coverage is medium to full. One pump is enough for the entire face and will
give a medium finish, but also buildable for a fuller coverage. It dries to a demi-matte finish and the texture of
the formula once applied to the skin is smooth and weightless. It evens out
skins tone and pigmentation, while STILL looking like skin.
Nars claims
that this foundation has a 16 hour wear time – err no, let’s address. I would
say it has an 8 hour wear time, definitely not 16 hours. Although, eight
hours is still good for me and believe me, that’s a long time with my oily,
acne prone skin *sigh*.
This
foundation wears beautifully throughout the day. It doesn’t oxidize and leaves
a lovely radiant ‘glow’ to the face and not the other type of glow where I look like
a deep fat fryer by the end of the working day.
It would
work really well for oily/combo skin type, however if you have dry skin, it may
not work quite as well.
The colour
range is fabulous, with around 40 shades. What Nars does really well is that
they cater to individuals with yellow/olive undertones. I was colour matched to
Vallauris and no exaggeration it matches me perfectly. I think even if it was
an average foundation, I would probably still love it due to the colour match being
so spot on –THE STRUGGLE IS TOO REAL!
Overall, I
highly recommend this foundation. I am really fussy with foundations – due to
the fear of looking cakey. The shades
range is very good, looks like skin, long wear time, wears away beautifully and
does not oxidize. However, it maybe best suited to those with an oily skin type,
rather than dry skin type.
The cost of
this foundation is £32.00 and well worth every penny!
Have you
tried this foundation? What do you think?
