Should I use a primer with this foundation?
While not strictly required, using a primer can help create an even canvas, extend wear time, and further enhance the luminous finish depending on your skin type and desired effect.
Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or uneven.
Ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed and moisturized before application. Use a primer to create a smooth canvas. Blend thoroughly using a damp sponge or a soft brush, working in small sections.
Foundation doesn't last all day.
Pair the foundation with a compatible face primer. After application, lightly dust with a setting powder, especially in your T-zone. A setting spray can also help extend wear time.
Shade looks too warm or too cool on my skin.
The Barcelona shade has warm, peach undertones. If it's not a perfect match, consider trying a different NARS Sheer Glow shade, or consult a makeup artist for a precise color match. Sometimes mixing a small amount of a slightly cooler or warmer foundation can help.
Skin still looks dull or lacks radiance after application.
Ensure your skin is well-hydrated underneath. For extra glow, mix a drop of liquid highlighter into the foundation before applying, or apply highlighter to high points of your face after foundation.
Foundation emphasizes dry patches.
Exfoliate your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells. Ensure your moisturizer is deeply hydrating. Apply foundation by patting it on gently rather than rubbing, which can disturb dry areas.
