NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation - L3 Gobi

This foundation offers buildable coverage, meaning you can apply it sheerly for a natural look or layer it for medium to full coverage, allowing you to customize your desired finish.

L3 Gobi, like the entire Natural Radiant Longwear line, works well for normal, combination, and dry skin types. For oily skin, it's recommended to use an oil-controlling primer and setting powder to ensure optimal wear.

L3 Gobi is specifically for light skin with warm, golden undertones. To confirm your match, swatch a small amount on your jawline and let it dry down completely in natural light. Your ideal shade should disappear into your skin.

For a radiant, skin-like finish, apply the foundation with your fingertips or a damp beauty sponge, gently pressing and bouncing the product onto your skin. A light hand helps maintain the natural luminosity.

While the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is formulated for longevity, lightly setting it with a translucent powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness (like the T-zone), can help extend wear and minimize transfer, particularly for combination to oily skin types.

Yes, you can mix a drop of liquid highlighter for enhanced luminosity, or a hydrating primer for a sheerer, more dewy finish. Experiment with small amounts to achieve your desired effect.

Ensure your skin is thoroughly moisturized and exfoliated before applying. Apply foundation in thin layers, building up coverage gradually. Use a damp beauty sponge for seamless blending.

Use a compatible primer before application, especially one formulated for longevity. Lightly set the foundation with a translucent setting powder, particularly in areas prone to oiliness or movement. Avoid touching your face frequently throughout the day.

L3 Gobi is designed for light skin with warm/golden undertones. If it appears off, double-check your undertone in natural light. Consider blending with a slightly different shade if you're between tones, or adjusting with a color-correcting primer.
