I’ve recently bought a foundation from NARS, it’s the All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. This foundation is for people with oily skin as it has no oil in it. At least that’s what they tell you when you’re hoaxed into buying it.
NARS foundation can look really nice on you when you first put it on, it almost gives you that perfect skin that the celebrities have.
Leaving it on your face for more than a couple of hours, it will then go blotchy, which isn’t right if it’s supposed to be tailored to oily skin. Other people have confirmed that this exact same problem has happened to them and we’re all wondering why. The foundation can make your skin look quite greasy and dewy even if you’re not sweating. I bought some of the setting powder to get rid of this problem and it still doesn’t help.
My skin has a fair few blackheads and the occasional spot when my skin becomes oily so I thought I purchased a foundation that’s supposed to be ‘full coverage’ but it turns out even with lots of layers of this foundation, the more coverage, the more you get cake face, not a good look.
This foundation isn’t great in creating the ‘Matte’ look I prefer and so I would probably not purchase this again. I won’t link NARS down below as I feel it wasn’t worth the £35 I bought it for and I wouldn’t want anyone else to get cheated out of their money for a product that may not work on many skin types.
This product makes my face look sweaty rather than matte and with oily skin that’s a no-go. If you can recommend some foundations down below that work for you, I would be happy to purchase and review.
Remember to always read a couple of reviews before buying a product as it helps to save money that way. Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you enjoyed the review. This time I’m saying NAH to NARS.

Clinique, beyond perfecting foundation. I reviewed it here: https://criavolver.com/2016/12/28/face-files-the-staples/
I would recommend it to oily skinned humans. I have oily skin and large pores, it gives seamless skin, it’s matte and doesn’t make you want to rip your face off at the end of the day. It wears nicely with a good primer as well. My next blog post will be on all the foundations I’ve recently bought and Chanel is one of them. All I will say is BEWARE on Chanel foundation, more on why later. 🙂

This is actually my holy grail foundation! Although, I have pretty normal skin. So weird how different foundations work for different people! Great post though :). You should review the Becca Ultimate Coverage Creme Foundation xxx

I got matched for this once and walking around town with it on, I could see after a few hours it’d oxidised weirdly and looked patchy too. Even if it was a summers day then, I expect more from a high end foundation! X
