NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation - Marquises

The NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation offers medium to full buildable coverage, meaning you can apply one layer for medium coverage or add more layers for a fuller finish.

The foundation is designed for long-lasting wear, providing up to 24 hours of shine control with a natural matte finish.

While designed for a matte finish, its breathable, serum-like consistency feels weightless. However, individuals with very dry skin should ensure thorough hydration and consider using a hydrating primer for optimal comfort and finish.

No, the formula is designed to be transfer-resistant, meaning it is less likely to transfer onto clothing.

Yes, the foundation contains Pore-Refining Trio technology that visibly improves skin texture with consistent use.

Clean your brushes regularly with a mild soap or brush cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and allow brushes to air dry completely before storing.

While not explicitly recommended, you can experiment by mixing a small amount of liquid highlighter with the foundation for a customized finish. However, this may affect its long-wear and matte properties.

Ensure skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Shake the bottle well before use. Try applying with a different tool or using less product, blending thoroughly.

Ensure adequate hydration through skincare. Apply a hydrating primer. Use a makeup setting spray with a dewy finish after application. Blend with a damp sponge.

Consult NARS shade guides or test shades in person if possible. Consider the undertones (warm, cool, neutral) when selecting a shade. Different lighting conditions can affect shade perception.

Apply a smaller amount of product. Blend thoroughly, focusing on areas prone to creasing. Consider using a pore-minimizing primer. Ensure skin is properly moisturized but not overly dewy.
