NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation - Caracas

It's best to swatch foundation shades directly onto your jawline and check them in natural light. Allow it to set for a few minutes to see how it truly blends with your skin tone. You may need to try a few variants to find your perfect match.

While it offers a natural radiant finish, its long-wearing properties can work for oily skin. We recommend using an oil-controlling primer underneath and lightly setting with a translucent powder in oilier areas to help manage shine and extend wear.

The NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation provides buildable coverage, meaning you can apply it for a medium coverage look or layer it to achieve a fuller coverage, depending on your preference.

For a seamless and natural finish, apply with a damp beauty sponge for lighter coverage, or a dense foundation brush for more precise application and higher coverage. Using your fingertips can also work for a very natural, skin-like finish.

To maximize wear time, start with a good primer, apply foundation in thin layers, and consider lightly setting your makeup with a setting powder, especially in areas prone to shine. Finishing with a setting spray can also help lock your look in place.

Despite its long-wearing formula, the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is designed to feel lightweight and comfortable on the skin, contributing to its 'natural radiant' claim. When applied in thin layers, it avoids a heavy or cakey sensation.

Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and exfoliated before application. Apply foundation in thin layers and blend thoroughly using a damp sponge or a dense brush with tapping motions.

Start with a compatible primer. After application, lightly set your T-zone with a translucent powder. Avoid touching your face excessively throughout the day.

Use less product. Start with a small amount and build coverage only where needed. Apply with a damp sponge for a more sheer, natural finish. Ensure your skincare products have fully absorbed before applying foundation.

Shade matching can be tricky. Try swatching the foundation on your jawline in natural light to see how it blends with your neck. Consider mixing with a lighter or darker foundation if you're between shades. NARS offers various shades; exploring other variants might provide a better match.

Oxidation can sometimes occur due to skin oils. Ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed and moisturized. Using a primer can create a barrier. If the issue persists, you might need to try a slightly lighter shade to account for potential darkening.
