NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation - Yukon

Test shades directly on your jawline in natural light. Allow it to dry down completely to see the true color. Look for a shade that disappears into your skin, matching both your skin depth and undertone. L2.5 Yukon is for light skin with golden undertones.

For a radiant finish, a damp beauty sponge works wonderfully to press the product into the skin, providing a natural, luminous look. Alternatively, a foundation brush followed by a final pat with a damp sponge can also achieve excellent results.

Yes, this foundation is designed for buildable coverage. Apply a thin first layer and let it set slightly. Then, apply additional thin layers only where more coverage is needed, blending carefully. This prevents a heavy or cakey appearance.

While it has a radiant finish, it can work for oily skin when paired with an oil-controlling primer and by setting specific areas (like the T-zone) with a light dusting of translucent powder. You may need to blot occasionally throughout the day.

The 'longwear' formula is designed to last for up to 16 hours, resisting transfer and fading. Individual results may vary based on skin type, climate, activity level, and whether a primer and setting spray are used.

If the pump becomes clogged, gently wipe the nozzle with a clean, damp tissue or cotton swab. Avoid using sharp objects to clear the opening, as this may damage the mechanism. You can also try pumping a few times to dislodge any dried product.

Ensure your skin is properly prepped with moisturizer and primer. Apply foundation in thin layers, blending well with a damp sponge or brush. Avoid applying too much product at once.

Use a longwear-specific primer underneath. Set your foundation with a light dusting of translucent powder, especially in areas prone to movement or shine. A setting spray can also significantly extend wear time.

Ensure your skin is well-hydrated. Use less product in areas with fine lines and blend thoroughly. Lightly tap the area with a damp sponge to press product into the skin rather than letting it sit on top.

Always test foundation shades on your jawline and check in natural daylight before purchase or a full application. The L2.5 Yukon shade is for light skin with golden undertones; ensure your natural undertone matches.

Exfoliate regularly to remove dry skin. Hydrate thoroughly with a rich moisturizer and a hydrating primer before application. Apply foundation by pressing it into the skin rather than dragging.
