Just a quick update, I am going to be changing my blogging page soon to wordpress. Haven't decided when, but I will keep you all posted on Twitter very soon.
If you do manage to get this foundation in store, find out what undertone you are and reference it from the foundation you currently use. On the Nars website there is a mini description of the undertone you're looking for. I bought mine from Selfridges and was matched to Syracuse and the makeup artist also swatched Moorea, but I felt the colours looked off (Moorea almost grey looking) and ended up exchanging to the shade Tahoe. So please do your research. I mention this in the video.

I have a little information about the Nars Natural Radiant Longwear foundation that I did not mention in the video. Firstly, the Nars foundation has range of 33 shades ranging from light, to medium, to tan and to deeper skintones. Everyone is likely to find a shade that fits to their undertone.
Secondly, what this foundation is supposed to do is last up to 16 hours. It claims to have a lightweight and radiant finish but high coverage with a natural finish. It is a medium to full coverage foundation.
The foundation is infused with Raspberry, Apple and Watermelon extracts to help smooth and make the skin look instantly radiant. It has a specialised skin-matching technology so it stays true to colour on ypur skin. Ideal for normal, to combination, and oily skin types. Proven to be sweat resistant, transfer proof, non drying and fade resistant.
Thoughts:
My overall thoughts on the foundation I think its a great foundation, however I wish they could have a few more golden/yellow shades that match my complexion a little better. I love the idea of having 33 shades just I have to mix another foundation and put a little more effort into my makeup to fit my needs. I do have to use a hydrating primer around my nose area so that the foundation does not cling onto any of my dry patches around my nose.
It is a little overpriced for my very first Nars foundation, however it made my face look flawless which is why I really enjoyed this foundation so much. I definitely recommend this if you have dry combination skin type and also oily combination too. I would suggest trying out the Nars primer with it, a lot of beauty influencers have tried it that way and have had great results. Or a hydrating primer on areas you feel are mostly dry. Using up to 3/4 pumps is fine as it does not pump out too much product.
Rating 4/5
So has anyone picked up any new foundations lately? I really want to review the Maybelline Superstay foundation since I picked one up the other day. Let me know if you would like a first impressions on that guys.
Xoxo
