I didn’t need any concealer under the eyes or around the nose to reduce redness because the foundation covered it all. I think the photos below show how well the foundation covers without looking too thick or cakey. I have a lot of freckles which most people don’t realize until they see me without any makeup on.

I’ve also shown my bare skin below (eeps!). Finish is naturally radiant and glowy.īelow I have Vanuatu applied. It photographs well and goes on smoothly as long as you apply with light layers. Right now on me it lasts all day but it’s not transfer-proof if you touch your face (ie fingers or to sunglasses). The humidity levels in Tampa are low right now so I can’t report how it holds up in humid climates. Lasting power is pretty good even in Florida heat. There’s no escaping it here and even with sunscreen, hats and trying to stay in the shade I still tan easily.

Living in Florida I’ve found my coloring changes on a weekly basis depending on how much sun I’ve been exposed to. With the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation my matches are Stromboli, Vanuatu or Barcelona. I’ve darkened quite a few shades and have since found the best matches to be Stromboli or Barcelona. Long time readers may remember I used to use the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation in Punjab (formula is thinner than the new one). NARS completely has you covered and shades like Punjab, Stromboli are very olive. If you’re like me you probably find there aren’t enough yellow or olive based foundations on the market. I also love that these come with a pump.Ĭolor range is pretty impressive with different undertones. These come in a clear bottle which is always great so you can see exactly how much you have left. Setting is also essential even if it’s just a lightweight powder. I also recommend applying with a damp beautyblender or fingers to blend. I’ve tried around five different bases with this formula and find that the NARS primers work best with this one. If you’re skin isn’t flawless or completely smooth using a primer is essential. Since it’s so opaque I’d recommend using only a little bit at a time. It’s probably the thickest formula of all the NARS foundations I’ve tried and takes a bit of experimentation to get a smooth application.

The NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is a full coverage opaque liquid foundation. Shown above Punjab, Vanuatu and Barcelona I wish they would sell the minis because it would be so much easier for us to find out perfect match! Unfortunately at this time samples aren’t for sale but I hope these swatches help you with your foundation matching if you’re buying or guessing online. An artist from the NARS team matched/guessed three shades they thought would be my closest match and the team sent miniature samples of the entire collection for review. I’m thrilled to have been able to swatch all 33 shades of the foundation. I’ve been putting a few new foundation formulas to the test! The newest one is the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation ($49 for 1 fl oz/30 ml).
