NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation - L4 - Deauville

The NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation is designed to provide up to 24 hours of shine control, maintaining a matte finish throughout the day.

No, the formula is designed to resist creasing and does not settle into wrinkles, even during long-term wear.

While designed for a matte finish, it is formulated not to dry out the skin. However, thorough moisturizing and primer application are recommended for dry skin types to ensure optimal results.

Refer to the NARS shade finder tool online or consult with a beauty advisor. Consider your undertones (cool, neutral, warm) and depth of skin tone for the best match.

The foundation is resistant to water and perspiration, meaning it holds up well against sweat and light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof.

The foundation is formulated with Pore-Refining Trio technology that visibly improves pore appearance over time and has a breathable consistency. However, consistent cleansing is always recommended.

Yes, the coverage is buildable. You can apply additional layers to achieve medium to full coverage where needed without the product feeling heavy.

Ensure skin is well-exfoliated and moisturized before application. Use a damp blending sponge for a smoother finish. Avoid applying too much product at once.

Start with a smaller amount and build coverage gradually. Ensure you are using the recommended application technique (e.g., blending with a sponge for a lighter feel).

Apply a hydrating primer before foundation and ensure skin is well-moisturized. Consider applying a hydrating setting spray after application. A touch of liquid highlighter on the high points of the face can add dimension.

Consult NARS shade guides or test shades in-store if possible. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by mixing shades or using a compatible bronzer/contour.
