Prepare your skin for smooth makeup application with Light Reflecting Primer.
Warm up foundation in the hands and apply with the finger to create a natural-looking finish. Start in the centre of the face (where we typically need more coverage) and work out toward the edge of the face. Sheer Glow Foundation is also a great clean-up tool: use it with a concealer brush under the eyes and around the lips to make sure lines are crisp.
Set with Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder for a photo-ready finish.

Nice finish, good colour range
I have combo/normal skin and I have used this foundation for most of my skin journey i.e. when I had a very oily forehead, dry cheeks, dry patches, balanced skin etc. and I can say it definitely weathered through all those issues with the right application. For oily areas, just use a good amount of powder and less powder for dry areas. I love the glowy finish of this foundation so I barely powder, but I use a primer and setting spray. Note: doesn’t work well with Benefit Porefessional primer. The colour range is AMAZING! I have light skin tone with yellow undertones (MAC NC15-20) and Fiji is the perfect match. I was so happy to see a brand that finally understands UNDERTONES and understands that not all light skins have pink undertones! This foundation is definitely build able to full coverage, people who say it is not are probably wearing HUDA Beauty Faux Filter Foundation on a daily... This foundation doesn’t feel heavy because it is so creamy but definitely has pigment. I don’t have anything bad to say about this foundation. If you like glowy finishes, buildable foundation, good pigment, good quality then try this!

I love it
I love this foundation it complements my skin beautifully. The texture is so creamy and just glides on the skin. It applies gorgeously with both a beauty sponge and a foundation brush. Its the only foundation I wear and it is buildable so its more full coverage and never leaves my skin dry or looking cakey. I love it Nars is my favourite brand I use it every day.

New goto
I've been using Bare minerals Complexion Rescue for years but thought it poor value for money...so having been sent some Nars samples I decided to try this. Absolute love it. Lovely natural finish which is build-able. Will definitely buy again.

Just the best
I am a makeup and skincare addict so I try a lot, but I'll always come back to this foundation. It lasts well enough (I wouldn't consider it long-wear or anything like that but it wears nicely). When you apply, it just glides over the skin and pores and looks just like skin but better. Plus, Mont Blanc is the perfect shade for my pale skin!

The best!
I was on a hunt for a good foundation for my dehydrated skin for a looong time now. I have large pores and textured skin. I wanted something natural-looking, a bit glowy, but not exaggerating my texture or pores. And this is IT! It goes really smooth, it’s buildable and looks like second skin and doesn’t smear off. Totally recommend!

Excellent, buildable coverage...
One of my favorite foundations right about now. I can opt for light or medium coverage from this - depending upon how I apply it. For a light coverage, usually when at home and not needing as much on, I dot a small amount of Sheer Glow around my face & neck, and use a slightly damp beauty blender to blend in. This gives a slightly dewy finish too. When I need more coverage and a more matte finish I apply with fingertips only. In either case this does slightly oxidize within the first hour or so, so if it doesn't look spot-on at first, give it a bit of time before reaching any conclusions. For me the colour match is fantastic, it looks like I'm not wearing anything, very natural and a nice luminous look, or a 'sheer glow' if you like! Longevity is also great - I can get almost a full day out of this without it turning patchy or creasing. The only downside is there's no pump on the bottle - which for something at this price range I would have expected it to have as a given, and also no SPF in here so I have to apply an SPF separately, before my primer and this. On the upside though the absence of SPF means my face is much more flash-photography friendly, something I rarely achieve with any of the SPF foundations I have. ~ My Cult Beauty Top 5 must-have list ~ (thought it might be useful to share my top 5 must-have products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Cult Beauty) 1.

Natural glow
Yes for a natural glow, build-able too. Great for dry skin or normal skin but may need more setting powder to hold oils at bay. Love this as a body carrier for other foundations that may be matte.

Holy Grail Foundation ! perfect for dry skin
This has been my Holy Grail Foundation for the last 3/4 years. I have found my perfect shades FIJI and Punjab. My Skin stays hydrated and this foundation gives me a PERFECT Dewy Look. I have dry skin and my dry patches are on my cheeks, near my lips and on my forehead. When I wear this foundation the Dry patches do not show!
