The Best NARS Foundation?

Natural Radiant Longwear

VS

Light Reflecting

NARS has been a big part of my make up bag for years.

 

It started with the classic Orgasm Blush.

 

“Then I found their foundations and never looked back”

 

But with a few different foundations that all have rave reviews..

 

 

Which NARS foundation which one do you go for?

NARS Light Reflecting Foundation

A Makeup-Skincare Formula!

This is the first hybrid foundation I have tried.

 

Filled with advanced skincare ingredients that help defend against environmental aggressors.

Meaning it instantly blurs imperfections.

 

As well as improving skin’s clarity after six weeks of daily use.

 

Let’s see what it looks like…

It’s Definitely Light Reflecting

Wearing shade Valencia, it’s the perfect tone of tanned but not orange.

 

You can tell this foundation has skincare properties in too as it has a lovely dewy finish.

 

It’s the PERFECT consistency.

 

“It covers…

 

But it doesn’t feel cakey.”

 

How does the Natural Radiant Foundation compare?

NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation

16 Hour Wear!

 

This one is a medium-full coverage.

 

And offers 16 hours of wear.

 

Whilst still giving a flawless base.

 

Let’s see what it looks like…

 

Not As Bright As Light Reflecting

The Radiant Longwear has a nice finish.

 

It’s still bright and dewy.

 

And yes a thicker coverage.

 

But not as bright as the light reflecting.
