FAQs

What is the best way to apply this foundation?

For a natural radiant finish, apply with a damp beauty sponge or clean fingertips, blending from the center of the face outwards. For fuller coverage, a dense foundation brush can be used.

Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?

While it offers a radiant finish, its longwear properties can work for oily skin. We recommend using a mattifying primer underneath and setting with a translucent powder in oil-prone areas to control shine.

Does this foundation oxidize?

The NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is formulated to be fade-resistant. While slight oxidation can occur with any foundation due to skin chemistry, it is generally minimal with this product. Always test a small area on your skin before full application.

How do I choose the correct shade online?

NARS offers a wide range of shades. Refer to online shade matching tools, consult product reviews with swatch photos, or compare it to foundations you already know work for your skin tone and undertone. Shade M2.5 Sahel is described as medium with warm undertones.

Can I build up the coverage?

Yes, this foundation is buildable. Start with a thin layer for light-to-medium coverage and add more product in areas where extra coverage is desired, blending each layer well.

Does it improve skin texture over time?

Yes, the formula is designed with ingredients that contribute to improving skin texture with continued use, in addition to providing immediate cosmetic benefits.

Is this product fragrance-free?

Info needed: [Check product packaging or official NARS website for fragrance information.]

Is it non-comedogenic?

Troubleshooting

Foundation looks patchy or uneven.

Ensure skin is well-hydrated and primed before application. Use a damp sponge or brush and blend thoroughly in small sections.

Foundation feels heavy or looks 'cakey'.

Use less product initially; a little goes a long way. Apply in thin layers and build coverage as needed. Ensure your application tool is slightly damp for a sheerer application.

Foundation fades or breaks down quickly.

Ensure you're using a compatible primer. Set your foundation with a light layer of setting powder, especially in oil-prone areas, and consider a setting spray for extra longevity.

The shade doesn't look quite right on my skin.

Always test shades in natural light on your jawline before purchasing. If a shade is slightly off, you can try mixing it with a lighter or darker foundation you own, or adjust with bronzer/contour and highlight.

Foundation settles into fine lines or wrinkles.

Hydrate skin thoroughly. Apply foundation sparingly in areas prone to creasing. Lightly set with a translucent powder using a fluffy brush to avoid over-applying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Prepare Skin: Begin with a clean, moisturized face. A primer can be used to extend wear or address specific concerns like pores or oil control.
Dispense: Pump a small amount (1-2 pumps) onto the back of your hand.
Apply: Using a foundation brush, damp beauty sponge, or clean fingertips, dot the product onto areas needing coverage (forehead, nose, cheeks, chin).
Blend: Blend outwards evenly for a seamless finish. Build coverage in thin layers where needed.
Set: For extended wear or oil control, lightly dust with a translucent setting powder, focusing on the T-zone.

Compatibility

Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types, particularly normal to dry and combination skin, due to its radiant finish and hydrating properties. Oily skin types may benefit from additional mattifying primers and setting powders.
Other Products: Compatible with most liquid, cream, and powder face products.

Care

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain product integrity.
Hygiene: Always apply with clean hands or sanitized tools to prevent bacterial contamination.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically 12-24 months. Discard if texture, color, or smell changes.
