What you see in the bottle is what you get, so make sure you choose the correct shade. I find that this foundation does not oxidise on my skin throughout the day. A primer helps with the pores but i find within minutes it looks dry and almost crusty around my mouth. The only flaw i have with it is that it comes away around the nose and gets into creases and pores. I feel this foundation is more of a Demi Matte/satin finish that adds a subtle glow, but i wouldn't say it is a a dewy finish.It generally just looks photoshopped on the skin. It does remove the natural dimension of the face so you will need to contour slightly and add some colour to your cheeks to bring that dimension back. The foundation has even tone technology which helps to cover up redness and imperfections. I only have to touch up with powder once throughout the day about 8/9 hours after it was first applied. I have to set the foundation with a powder in my t-zone as that is where i am oily, however i leave the rest of the face. The NARS All Day Luminous Weightless foundation can also enhance my large pores slightly so i highly recommend using a pore minimising primer on problem areas like large pores and uneven skin texture. ![]() Luckily my beauty blender and mac fix+ came to the rescue. I wore the foundation once after i had a reaction to a face mask which dried out my skin, it made me look awful i almost cried. This is a bit of a high maintenance foundation, so you really have to prep your face beforehand, meaning exfoliated and well hydrated skin. I have a love & hate relationship with this foundation, i love the finish but i hate how it doesn't work well with my combination skin. I didn't find it made me more oily either but it does accentuate my dry areas around my nose, mouth and center of the forehead. ![]() I find the foundation is way longer lasting than my sheer glow and several of my other foundations in my collection, and unlike the SG it doesn't wear away in my oily areas. So i find using all methods works well for me, my fingers to apply over the face, my real techniques buffing brush to buff into the skin and my damp beauty blender to soften and give a more natural and flawless airbrushed look. Sometimes doing this without realising it i am overloading my face, then once i add powder on top I'm heading into 'cake face' territory. The only problem with using the beauty blender is that it absorbs too much of the product and i find myself using more product. It also applies beautifully with a brush, but my favourite method of application is with a beauty blender. ![]() I find applying with fingers works well and encourages the foundation to really merge with the skin. I like that it is fragrance-free.You’ll find that this formula easily covers redness, discolorations and evens out your skin tone with minimal product use. Narsissist claims that you only need 1 pump for your whole face, I like a light coverage and i use use 1-2 pumps. A little really does go a long way with this foundation. It is a thin almost runny consistency, which makes it super easy to blend out and feels super light on the face. The All day Luminous foundation is medium to full coverage and buildable without it looking too cakey.
