It's alright

If you have dry skin that gets flaky easily, do not buy this, go for the sheer glow. Even skin that is the slightest bit flaky. I find that it goes patchy and really makes your face look like a desert. It does have good buildable coverage though over blemish/acne and the foundation does have powder in it already so it doesn't go shiny, some reviews may say otherwise but I find that it works best when my skin is oilier.

Better for dry skin, lightweight, buildable coverage

This product works on a variety of skin types but not as well on oily skin. Dry skinned ladies (and gents!) rejoice, this is not a drying formula. However, it will cling to dry skin that hasn't been properly exfoliated and can get patchy when used with certain powders. The formula works well when applied with foundation or kabuki brushes (for medium coverage) as well as fingers (medium-full coverage), and can be applied sheerly with a damp beauty blender. The shade range is good but some colors skew a bit yellow, however it's perfect for me. I use it in the shade Siberia and I have very fair, neutral-leaning-yellow undertones with surface redness.

Love it

I am truly in love this is such a weightless foundation the coverage is right I would say its a medium coverage but you can build it up to full coverage without it looking cakey it was 96 degrees were I live and my moms foundation was melting off and when she looked at me she said " what foundation you wearing you looking flawless trough this heat"

Great for redness

This is my first NARS foundation and the coverage was awesome for my redness and cystic acne/breakouts.

I was very excited to use with my Real Techniques foundation brush but sadly it didn't buff/blend well and my beauty blender didn't help either. I realised that using my fingers were the best and it really set quite fast so its advisable to work on an area one at a time.

flawless, beautiful finish, LOVE.

seriously.. this foundation is SO amazing. I love the natural finish of it, how it just makes my skin look so radiant and healthy. the shade matches me perfectly which most foundations don't. I'm actually super impressed with this foundation and I'm glad I joined the bandwagon. Plus it has a pump! i only need two pumps for my face whole face. which for my MAC foundations I needed about 5 or 7 lol.

I haven't been excited for liquid foundation in a long time. This formula is made with green notes, so it works well for anyone with redness. On an everyday basis, just apply this all over and you can instantly see the redness erased. On days when I want a more glamorous, I use a little more and the coverage is fantastic. The coverage can go from medium to full coverage and best of all it feels so lightweight. Another awesome thing about this foundation, is that it is actually luminous without settling or highlighting in any unsightly textured areas. This is definitely one of the few things I've picked up that I actually adore. than any other product

Ok

I liked this foundation, but I'm in a stage where I like natural looking foundation and I don't like matte, people say that this has a glow to it, but it does not, I've read on reviews that it looks totally natural, but it does not, you can totally tell that you have foundation on its a pretty full coverage, it's not completely matte, I'd say demi matte, so if you looking for a matte full coverage foundation, you might like it, for my oily skin girls I got oily after about 4 hours so you'll need to touch up.

I have used many different foundations, but this is my ultimate fav! I am quickly approaching 50, but still maintain on oily complexion. I prefer a "light" natural feeling foundation, but with enough to provide coverage for a somewhat uneven complexion. This is the holy grail. It is perfect for summer life in the South. Even during the hot days, active work schedule with physical exertion and "hot flashes" this foundation stays in place and continues to look fantastic. There is nothing else out there like this. Love, love, love it. Thank you NARS! (For natural look, apply with fingers and sheer it out, gorgeous)

not bad.

I had high hopes for the foundation but it's just... Okay.

First off I had difficulty finding my right shade, even though I ended up with Punjab, it's still too golden for my skintone, but the medium shade is down-pat. I'm not impressed with the shade selection.

As far as application goes, DO NOT USE A BEAUTYBLENDER. It doesn't work well with a beautyblender, unless you use the BB dry. I use a kabuki brush or stippling brush and it works much better.

I find this foundation a bit problematic. I have combination skin with no dry patches and minimal oily areas, but this doesn't create an overall flawless base for me. I don't find myself happy with the foundation and it isn't a "one-drop wonder" for me. It does feel lightweight on the skin, I'll give it that much, but I prefer the CoverFX Custom Cover Drops, especially given the money you spend on this foundation.

Promising but not perfect

I absolutely love the idea of this foundation. That being said, I've had issues with application. Mind you, I am no makeup novice. I even went to a NARS counter and had a salesperson show me how they apply it. I've since mastered that (smaller amounts of products and a small brush instead of large foundation brush) but I still find that this can start to get patchy by the end of the day. And don't even think about touching your face! You'll end up with a fingerprint!
