My love for NARS started with the packaging. I love the sleek, matte caps & compacts - I'll gladly forgive the unavoidable fingerprints on the cap. But when diving further into the brand I've discovered that I love a lot of their formulas. I had never tried one of their foundations though, so I was destined to give this one a go at one point. The formula is one of those liquid serum kind of formulas that have been such a hype the past few years, but minus all the bad traits. I tried the famed Giorgio Armani Maestro foundation that falls into that same category and tried very hard to love it, but for some reason it never did well on my skin. Same goes for the L'Oréal drugstore option. Read all about those experiences here.
The All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation feels much creamier than most of the other liquid foundations, which sounds a little weird - I know. It's insanely pigmented and glides on my skin super easily when applied with a swiping motion - for this I love using my Missha Oval Foundation Brush the most. It does cling a little to the driest parts of my skin, so I make sure I use a good base on those areas. On my nostrils and between my eyebrows (where I have some dry patches) I use Lancôme's Nutrix Rich Cream, while all over I have been loving Galenic's Ophycée Instant Unifying Corrector. Those two make for the perfect base! Sensitive skin types will be happy to hear that this foundation does not contain any fragrance, while oily skin types will undoubtedly be excited about the oil-free formula.

I love using the Missha oval foundation brush the most for this foundation. And nope, this picture isn't staged at all.. |

And can we talk about how good this shade match is? The sales assistant at Liberty's was amazing. He spotted straight away that I was wearing a foundation with a little too much pink to it and matched me in one go to Mont Blanc. Even though this one is described as a foundation with a pink base I find that it still holds quite a bit of yellow. I easily wear this foundation throughout the whole day: I typically apply my foundation around 8AM and take it off around 8PM. That's an impressive wear!
To sum things up? I'd definitely recommend this foundation for anyone with combination or oily skin who is looking for medium to high coverage that still looks quite natural. Pay attention to using the right base and you'll fall in love!
