Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals seeking a comfortable, long-lasting full-coverage foundation with a natural matte finish. The key benefit is up to 24 hours of shine control and a perfected complexion that resists creasing, transfer, water, and humidity. A potential caveat is that the matte finish might be less suitable for very dry skin types. The NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation offers a serum-like, breathable consistency that feels weightless while providing buildable, medium-to-full coverage. Advanced micro-spheres absorb excess oil, blurring imperfections and refining pores for a smooth, even, skin-like appearance.

FAQs

What skin types is this foundation best suited for?

This foundation is best suited for combination to oily skin types due to its shine-controlling properties. However, with proper skin prep, it can also be used by normal skin types.

How do I choose the right shade?

It's recommended to test shades on your jawline in natural light to find the best match. Consider your undertone (warm, cool, or neutral) when selecting a shade.

Can this foundation be worn daily?

Yes, the lightweight and breathable formula is designed for comfortable, long-lasting wear, making it suitable for daily use.

Does this foundation crease or transfer?

The formula is designed to resist creasing and transfer, offering a stable finish throughout the day.

How much coverage does it provide?

It provides medium-to-full buildable coverage. You can apply one layer for medium coverage and add more for full coverage.

What is the finish of the foundation?

The foundation provides a natural matte finish that blurs imperfections and refines pores without looking flat or overly dry.

Is this foundation suitable for sensitive skin?

While formulated to be comfortable, it's always recommended to perform a patch test if you have particularly sensitive skin, as individual reactions can vary.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears cakey or heavy

Ensure skin is well-hydrated before application. Use less product and build coverage gradually. Blend thoroughly with a damp sponge for a more sheer finish.

Foundation is not lasting the full day

Make sure to shake the bottle well before use. Apply a mattifying primer. Set with a light dusting of translucent powder, especially in the T-zone.

Foundation looks dull or ashy

This can happen if the shade is not an exact match or if the skin is overly dry. Ensure you have selected the correct shade for your undertone. Prep dry areas with a hydrating serum or primer before application.

Difficulty blending the product

Try applying with a damp beauty sponge or a stippling brush. Ensure you are working in small sections and blending immediately after application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Prep Your Skin: Ensure your skin is clean, moisturized, and ideally primed for makeup application. For optimal results, especially for dry skin, consider a hydrating primer.
  2. Shake Well: Before each use, shake the foundation bottle well to ensure the formula is properly mixed.
  3. Dispense: Pump a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or a clean palette.

Application:

  1. Apply: Using your preferred tool (foundation brush, sponge, or fingertips), apply the foundation starting from the center of your face and blend outwards.
  2. Build Coverage: Layer the product as needed to achieve your desired level of coverage, focusing on areas that require more concealing.
  3. Blend: Ensure seamless blending, especially around the hairline, jawline, and neck, to avoid harsh lines.

Compatibility:

This foundation is formulated for most skin types, particularly those prone to oiliness. It is compatible with various makeup primers and setting powders. However, individuals with very dry skin may need to adjust their skincare routine or primer choice to ensure comfortable wear.

Care:

  • Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Cleaning Tools: Regularly clean your makeup brushes and sponges with a gentle cleanser to maintain hygiene and ensure smooth application.
