Hey lovelies, I'm here to show you the amazingness of Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. It's a high-end, lightweight foundation with up to 16 hours(!) of fade-resistant wear.
But the most important part of this product is that it's so great for covering spots of hyperpigmentation, especially when it comes to all of my black and brown folk!
As a black woman, I've definitely struggled with finding a foundation that one: matched with my skintone, and two: covered up marks of hyperpigmentation and acne scars that have accumulated over the years.
This full-coverage foundation is formulated with all-natural fruit extracts and spreads smoothly over your lovely face for hours and hours to come.
It literally spreads like butter and made my face look smooth as a fucking statue. What's acne? I don't know her!
All you have to do to apply it is to use a trusted Beautyblender, makeup sponge, or foundation brush and blend, blend, blend until you and the product are one, never to part until a makeup wipe tries to tear you apart!
Check out these wonderful reviews (it has over 800 five-star ones!) if you don't believe that NARS Luminous Foundation is dope AF:
"I'm Persian, so it's really hard to find my perfect match since I have both yellow and pink undertones. And foundation tends to oxidize on my oily skin! I wear this with a primer, but even without the primer, it does stay! I've tried other high-end even more expensive foundations, but this so far has the best color match. That's what I love about Nars foundations; their colors are beautiful!" —sunnysidemuah
"Amazing! A great everyday makeup, makes my skin look airbrushed, and covers my hyper-pigmentation easily! I always get compliments every time I wear it!" —Tiana42
"I have combo skin (an oily t-zone and normal everywhere else) and this foundation still worked for me. This foundation is bombbbbb. It looks like skin but still provides full coverage. And it gives me a nice healthy glow without looking dewy. Worth every penny." —gpatrick
"This foundation is amazing! I have dry skin and this has been the only foundation that doesn’t settle into my smile lines, despite the different primers I’ve used! It’s my go to holy grail for sure!" —laurenicole91
Even when I'm sweaty, the foundation doesn't run or melt on my face, which is always a high mark in my book. It does kind of transfer if you don't put on setting powder or spray afterward, but then again I tend to touch my face often, so product would obviously get on my hands.
And if you still aren't convinced sis, here are some more beauty addicts who give Nars their seal of approval:
"I love this foundation. I have gotten so many compliments on how smooth my skin looks as well. There are also so many shades to choose from. It’s full coverage but feels light on the skin." —erikapaige
"Definitely my favorite foundation I have purchased in a while. This product provides a radiant and glowy finish, but never breaks up on my face. I have combo skin so I just set it with a translucent powder to ensure it stays on all day. While I love using both a brush and sponge, I prefer to go in with the brush first and then follow up with the sponge." —alyssab6
"This foundation is truly stunning. I have two shades of this foundation and I love it. It’s pretty full coverage with a natural finish. It’s almost matte, and looks stunning on the skin." —alaska5000
So all in all if you're ready to have some dope-ass full coverage foundation that'll look amazing on all skin tones and types, give Nars All Day Luminous Foundation a try! Get it from Sephora for $49 (available in 20 shades!!!!)
Go get you some foundation, boo!
