Holy Grail

This is the best Foundation ever! It truly matches my skin tone. I have combo skin and it stays looking great for the day.Build it up for more coverage. Nars is my new go to brand for a women of color.

"Makeup with Benefits" ;-)

I remember NARS Sheer Matte Foundation being the first liquid foundation I ever wore after coming from the Bare Minerals era in my teens. When I was match at a local Sephora, It seemed that Trinidad was lighter than Tortuga for me. I am always in the sun, so it matched pretty well, but to balance it on my neutral skin-tone (or more carmel than warm or dark), I wore a lighter power on top to set it.I noticed without the powder, the foundation is transparent & gets on everything,even earrings:-/

I find that the finish is very nice, I am oil all over, so I need/like a foundation with a matte finish and medium-full coverage. Using a dome or stippling brush works best for me. I love how the more you wear this, the better the skin tone, texture, and look is, due to the skincare benefits within the product. Overall, I love this as my summer /fall liquid foundation!

Wowzaaaaaaa

I have a love/hate relationship with liquid foundation. I always feel like they're too much for my skin however I decided to purchase this and I am so pleased with it! I had the sales associate at Sephora match me and it was the perfect shade for me and I'm happy that it's noncomedogenic. I don't use it everyday but when I do, it gives my skin a nice even coverage. The coverage is buildable, you can apply it with your fingers or a brush. It's my holy grail foundation! :)

I can see how a lot of people would love this foundation, given that it it's nice and light. However, for somebody who has exceptionally oily skin like me, it isn't as great. I've used it for months, through both summer and winter, and no matter the season, my shiny skin always breaks through. I will say that it blends nicely and comes in nice colours, and it has a nice, lightweight feel.

HG Foundation!

I absolutely love this foundation during the warmer months. I'm not entirely oily anymore so I love pairing this with the Sheer Glow foundie to give me that extra hydration. Together, they leave a beautiful satin dewey matte finish! It's amazing!

This is best recommended for those who have oily skin types. It's lightweight, very much buildable, and it's definitely matte! This finish can get a little cakey if you apply too much of it, especially around fine lined areas. So do be careful or have a light hand when applying in those areas. I'm simply amazed how this product completely covers my acne scars on my face! Nonetheless, this is an amazing foundation!

great for oily skin

great foundation i use on myself and apply on everyone of my personal clients.
great coverage, beautiful finish, as light or as heavy as you want it.
great for your skin, long wearing, doesnt oxidize, doesnt smell.
i love to mix my NARS brightening serum into it as well.
I have used NARS oil free, balancing, sheer glow, sheer matte and firming

A MISS!

I was recommended this foundation from a girl in Sephora and she applied it and I really liked it. I wanted something that would give my face a matte look and that was really sheer. When I got home it was a different story. I hate the consistency of the product! It is so thick and hard to come out of the bottle that even starting the application was too hard. It needs to come with a pump considering it is $45 CAD. I felt like there was too much yellow in the product after awhile as well and made my face looks slightly ashy. I'm not a really oily girl but i noticed that I MORE oily with this matte product. Maybe I should have tried Nars Sheer glow instead. I returned this item!

Perfect for oily skin

I decided to pick this product up at Sephora because I heard really great reviews about it being good for oily skin. I love this foundation! I have tried a lot of foundations, low end and high end but this color and finish is perfect for me. I have combination to oily skin and this really makes my face look matte. I have bad skin complete with acne, acne scars and blemishes but this product makes my skin look healthy and fresh. Whenever I wear it, people at work always compliment me on how good my skin looks. I also love the range of shades because I have a lot of yellow in my skin and a lot of colors geared towards tan skin makes me look like a tomato. If you have oily skin or just want a nice matte finish, give this product a chance!

Tem boa cobertura e deixa a pele com acabamento semi-opaco, só acho péssimo venderem o pump separado, é horrível tirar essa base do vidrinho ela é uma pouco mais grossinha, mas espalha super bem.
