NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation - M4 Barcelona

For a natural, radiant finish, we recommend applying with a damp beauty sponge or a dense foundation brush. Start with a small amount and build coverage as needed, blending outwards from the center of your face.

Yes, it is suitable for all skin types. For oily skin, we recommend pairing it with a mattifying primer in your T-zone and setting with a light powder to control shine and maximize longevity.

The radiant finish is designed to last as long as the foundation's 16-hour wear. Its formula helps maintain a healthy glow without becoming overly shiny throughout the day.

Absolutely. The formula is buildable, meaning you can apply multiple thin layers to achieve your desired level of full coverage while still maintaining a natural look.

While individual skin chemistry can vary, this foundation is formulated to be color-true. We recommend allowing it to set for a few minutes after application to see its true shade on your skin.

The best way to choose your shade is to test it directly on your jawline in natural light and let it dry down completely. M4 Barcelona is described as a medium shade with warm undertones. Consider getting a sample if possible.

The foundation's unique blend of ingredients works to improve the skin's appearance, contributing to a smoother, more even-toned look over time. While not a skincare treatment, it aims to enhance your skin's natural beauty.

Ensure your skin is properly prepped and moisturized before application. Apply foundation in thin layers and blend thoroughly using a damp beauty sponge or brush. Exfoliate regularly to prevent dry patches.

Use a long-wear primer before application and set your foundation with a light dusting of setting powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness. A setting spray can also help extend wear time.

Ensure you are testing shades in natural light. For a slightly off shade, blend down the neck well. You can also mix a small amount of a lighter or darker liquid mixer to adjust the shade, or use bronzer/contour and highlight to balance the overall look.

Less is often more with buildable foundations. Apply a smaller amount and build up coverage only where needed. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated, as dry skin can make foundation look heavier.
