What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise how it blends seamlessly and looks like skin rather than makeup, with several noting it holds up well through the day and requires only a small amount of product. However, the feedback splits: those with congestion-prone or sensitive skin report it can trap moisture and worsen breakouts, while those without that concern find the finish beautiful and worth the price. One expert flagged a limited shade range and oxidation issues on their skin tone, so patch-testing first matters, especially for anyone prone to congestion or uncertain about match.

"I loved the finish. I thought it was beautiful. It's like a satin matte full coverage. Gorgeous. But it makes me break out, man. Not like horribly, not like with rashes or anything like that, but it just suffocates my skin and any tiny little breakout I might have is going to be 10 times as big when I wash this off at the end of the day. And if I didn't have anything there, I'm going to have something there. So I just avoid the heavier coverage foundations. I really did think it was beautiful, but personally because of that experience and I've heard from some of you that you also had that experience, I would skip it. But if you don't have sensitive skin or you're not like congestion prone, it's gorgeous and you should absolutely pick it up."

"It doesn't look matte, doesn't look dry and cakey. I need it to look like skin, and when I look at this, this looks like skin. It does seem to hold up better throughout the day. It doesn't last 16 hours like they say, but it lasts longer than anything else I've tried. While they do say it's full coverage, it doesn't feel like that. I can make this lightweight and it just blends beautifully. It covers up the redness, I can still see my age spots, so I'm not going overboard. It just never looks heavy or cakey. Even at full price, which I think is around 50 or 55, it is worth every freaking penny."

"A little bit of my NARS foundation. Now, it's going to be subtle, but I promise it does make a difference."

"You don't have to use that much of this. It's blended across my whole face very quickly and with good coverage, with a small amount of product. This is definitely not the kind of foundation you're going to want to squeeze all over your face. That was full coverage quite quickly."

"Nars is a big disappointment for me. It has a very limited shade range. Personally, I'd need something in between Zambia and Namibia. Also, instead of smoothing the skin, sits on top, oxidizes and makes the complexion look tired and older."

"This is the Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. This Foundation is fabulous. It's a perfect match for me. I love really hydrating products underneath. I can always mattify with powders in places, but for me I actually think that this makes my makeup last a lot longer."

"I got one recently that I'm still trying but I really like it. My go-to brand for complexion products at the moment is Nars. I just like their things just work for me."
