NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation in ‘Mont Blanc’
I ordered this foundation a few days ago to try alongside use of my Chanel Perfection Lumiere in shade '22 Beige Rose’, as i’ve not tried many other foundations.
This foundation claims to give a natural, but full coverage that lasts for 16 hours. It also claims to even skin tone and neutralise redness and dullness in the skin. Also claims to be weightless and feels breathable on the skin.
Going from Chanel Perfection Lumiere, a foundation which I have been used to since it was first released, I found the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation, of a very watery consistency. It is a very light formula, however, gives fantastic full coverage and is surprisingly opaque and matte on the skin but luminous at the same time. It is highly pigmented and was surprisingly smooth. I really like this foundation as it is natural looking and that the range of colours (20 shades) is fantastic. I have a light skin tone with combination skin and I find that the foundation used in combination with a primer is great for my skin type as it doesn’t smudge after a few hours on oily parts of my face.
The foundation however, I find is slightly messy to use and although it comes with a pump, it needs to be used with a
Beauty Blender or a foundation brush (I use a Sigma Flat Top Kabuki Buffer Brush F80) otherwise it is messy to use on the skin and won’t apply as smoothly.
Overall I really like this foundation however, it’s watery consistency in the bottle when first out the pump is messy. Otherwise I can’t fault the formula and leaves a perfect matte but luminous finish on the skin.
