NARS' first 16-hour foundation has a lightweight, breathable, fade-resistant formula and features medium-to-full, buildable coverage in 33 skin-matching shades to fit all skin tones and undertones. The transfer-resistant, sweat-resistant formula stays color-true all day, and continues to look fresh and vibrant, as if it was just applied. This formula features superior blendability for an imperceptible effect that looks natural, like skin. It doesn't look or feel cakey, heavy, drying, or masking. A unique combination of translucent base with micronized amino acid-coated pigments and mineral tone-balancing powders mimic skin's tone, fusing with it for the closest match. NARS' Skin Optimizing Complex; a blend of raspberry, apple, and watermelon extracts helps support skin's elastic fibers to smooth and improve skin's appearance over time for optimal radiance. Delivering lit-from-within luminosity, the NARS Cosmetics Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation offers up to 16 hours of medium-full coverage with a soft-focus finish. Boasting buildable benefits with seamless blendability, the formula instantly blurs the look of imperfections, uneven tone and texture to encourage a flawless-looking base. Micronised pigments and mineral powders provide a skin-tone-true dry down, while raspberry, apple and watermelon extracts work to hydrate and unify the complexion over time. The iconic foundation formula caters to an array of tones and undertones with its flattering shade selection, allowing you to find your perfect glow-granting match.

Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or uneven.
Ensure skin is well-moisturized and, if possible, primed before application. Apply foundation in thin layers, blending thoroughly with a damp sponge or brush from the center of the face outwards.
Foundation doesn't last as long as expected.
Prep skin with a long-wearing primer. Apply foundation to clean, oil-free skin. Consider setting areas prone to shine with a light dusting of translucent powder.
Shade M5 Valencia doesn't seem to match perfectly.
Check your shade match in natural lighting, testing on your jawline rather than your hand. If slightly off, you can try blending it further down your neck or mixing a tiny amount with a lighter or darker foundation you own.
Foundation feels too heavy or cakey.
You might be applying too much product. Start with a very small amount and build coverage gradually in thin layers. Using a damp beauty sponge can also help sheer out the application slightly.
Foundation emphasizes dry patches.
Exfoliate and moisturize your skin thoroughly before application. A hydrating primer can also create a smoother base for the foundation.

Setup & Application 1. Skin Preparation: Start with a clean, hydrated face. Apply your usual moisturizer and allow it to fully absorb. For enhanced longevity and a smoother base, consider using a compatible primer. 2. Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the foundation bottle to ensure an even mix of the formula. 3. Dispense: Pump a small amount onto the back of your hand or directly onto your chosen application tool (brush, sponge). 4. Apply: Begin applying from the center of your face and blend outwards for a natural, even finish. ### Compatibility - Primers: Works well with most water-based or silicone-based primers, depending on desired finish. - Concealers & Powders: Compatible with most cream or liquid concealers and setting powders for layering. ### Care - Storage: Store the foundation bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain formula integrity. - Cleaning: Regularly wipe the pump and neck of the bottle with a clean tissue to prevent product buildup and maintain hygiene. - Shelf Life: Refer to the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol on the packaging, usually 12-24 months, for optimal freshness.
