I’ve been using another well-known brand liquid foundation for a few years and decided to have a change. I’ve never used Nars foundation before and got a sample of the All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. I loved my sample and have decided to splash out for the full-sized product! It’s the most I’ve spent on foundation but this one’s a keeper.
I have combination skin, fair to medium skin tone (depending on the seasons) and am using the ‘Fiji’ colour. I’ve found it quite easy to apply, I currently use a soft round foundation brush (the Mecca Cosmetica Double-Ended Perfecting Brush is awesome). The thing I like about this foundation is that it is what it says, it feels weightless (I prefer a more natural look than a heavy or ‘caked on’ makeup look), it does last all day which for a face toucher like me is amazing. :) I often get quite oily around my T-zone even with foundation on, and I’ve found that I haven’t been as shiny halfway through the day with this one.
I use a bronzer to contour very lightly over it and then some highlighting blush to enhance that luminous look. I’m yet to find a good setting powder which I think would actually make the foundation stay on even longer.
Overall, very happy with my new venture into a new brand of foundation, I think I’ll have to save up to try other products from the Nars range now!
This is one of my favourite foundations - the colour match is really good for olive skintones (this brand in general), and great for oily skin. It does separate after a while so give it a good shake just in case.
Tips: It's very pigmented - you won't need much and it's best to work it into your skin.
