Allegedly, it emphasizes the dry areas and doesn’t look good but it can also completely break down and look super patchy if your skin is oily. From what I could gather, it looks like for some reason this formula doesn’t work well for dry, flakey skin or for very oily skin. I’ve seen some polarizing reviews: some people love this foundation and others absolutely hate it.

That’s the thing with NARS, their foundation shades look perfectly skin-like and that’s why so many people swear by this brand. I look at those shades and think to myself “there’s no way they created some of these based on real people with real skin”. Did you notice how sometimes brands with a very extensive range of foundation shades seemingly only have those just for appearances’ sake? Like someone randomly poked around at the color wheel to pick a few colors here and there to create an illusion of inclusivity. I actually want to share one of my pet peeves, and I would love to hear if you ever felt the same way. There may be some gaps, but I thought the current colors all look convincingly skin-like and will fit a very wide range of complexions and undertones. NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundationcurrently comes in 34 shades. To get a true medium you’d have to use very little product, and it would be like using a pigmented eyeshadow to get a sheer finish – it takes more effort than it’s worth to make the end result look good. The coverage is described as medium to full, but I feel like it leans more full. Maybe that’s just my weird bone structure, but I thought it was worth mentioning. However, I needed to do one minor touch up every 5-6 hours of wear – for some reason, it gathered in my nasolabial folds, while the rest of the face still looked fresh and flawless. As an added bonus, the oil-free, and fragrance-free formula is infused with Apple, Watermelon, and Raspberry extracts to provide subtle skin benefits over time.įrom my experience, NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is indeed long-lasting, and it looked really nice on my skin AM to PM. I guess, now is as good a time as any!Īccording to NARS, this long-lasting, medium to full coverage foundation offers 16 hours of comfortable wear time and feels lightweight on the skin. I am gearing up for another yearly makeup purge, and while going through my foundation drawer I realized that even though I featured NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation ($49) on my insta-stories pretty often, I never gave it a proper review on the blog.
