FAQs

What skin type is the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation best suited for?

This foundation is versatile and generally suitable for most skin types, including normal, combination, and dry. Its non-drying formula and Skin Optimizing Complex help maintain skin comfort. Those with very oily skin may benefit from using an oil-controlling primer and setting powder.

How do I choose the correct shade from the 33 available options?

It is highly recommended to test shades on your jawline, blending downwards towards your neck. Allow the foundation to dry fully, as the color can oxidize slightly. Observe the shade in natural light to ensure the best match for your skin tone and undertone.

Can I build up the coverage for a fuller look?

Yes, the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is designed with buildable coverage. You can start with a thin layer for medium coverage and then add a second, thin layer in areas where you desire more coverage, gently patting it into the skin.

Does this foundation transfer onto clothing or masks?

The formula is designed to be transfer-resistant. However, any foundation can transfer to some degree, especially without setting. For maximum resistance, apply a thin layer, allow it to set, and consider using a setting spray.

How should I apply this foundation for the best results?

You can apply it using your fingertips, a foundation brush, or a damp beauty sponge. For a natural finish, start with a small amount and blend from the center of your face outwards. Using a damp sponge can often provide a smoother, more skin-like application.

What does the 'Skin Optimizing Complex' do?

The Skin Optimizing Complex is a blend of raspberry, apple, and watermelon extracts. It is included to help support the skin's elastic fibers, aiming to smooth and improve the skin's overall appearance over time for optimal radiance.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears patchy or settles into fine lines.

Ensure skin is well-hydrated and properly prepped with moisturizer and/or primer. Use less product and blend thoroughly, particularly in areas prone to lines. Try applying with a damp sponge for a smoother finish.

Foundation does not last the full 16 hours or transfers easily.

Apply a primer before foundation. Set the foundation with a light dusting of translucent powder, especially in the T-zone. Finish with a setting spray. Avoid touching your face excessively throughout the day.

The shade looks different in natural light compared to indoors.

Always test foundation shades on your jawline and allow it to dry down completely. Check the color in various lighting conditions, especially natural daylight, before purchasing to ensure an accurate match.

Foundation feels heavy or looks cakey.

You might be using too much product. Start with a very small amount and build coverage in thin layers. Apply with a damp sponge or a less dense brush to sheer out the application. Avoid excessive powdering.

The radiant finish is too subtle or too strong.

For more radiance, ensure skin is well-hydrated and consider a luminous primer. For a more toned-down radiance, lightly set with a matte powder only in areas where you want to reduce shine, while leaving other areas radiant.

Wide Shade Selection: High likelihood of finding an accurate color match for diverse complexions.
Comfortable Wear: Feels lightweight and breathable, without caking or drying.
Skin-Benefiting Ingredients: Contains a complex that supports skin health and radiance over time.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

First Use: Ensure the pump is securely attached. Shake the bottle well to activate the formula. Dispense a small amount to prime the pump if needed.

Compatibility

Skin Types: The non-drying formula and Skin Optimizing Complex make it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including normal, combination, and drier skin. Those with oily skin may benefit from pairing it with an oil-controlling primer and setting powder.
Other Products: Compatible with most primers, concealers, powders, and setting sprays. For best results, use products that complement a radiant finish if you wish to maintain the foundation's intended glow.

Care

Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain formula integrity.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the pump directly with your fingers unless necessary. Clean applicator tools (brushes, sponges) regularly to ensure smooth application and prevent product breakdown from oils and bacteria.
Expiration: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically indicated by a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 12M for 12 months), to know its recommended shelf life after opening.
