![]() ![]() In fact, it is ridiculous how incredibly pigmented the formula is! I have never used any foundation that only requires just half a pump to cover my entire face. I will agree with NARS that it offers a high-coverage finish. The formula feels slightly liquidy, though not as liquidy as the MAC Face & Body foundation, and is free of scent and SPF (no flashback in flash photography). For now I am loving the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder the best (US$37 | Sephora). So the first lesson learned is to use a proper setting powder, preferably one that doesn't add any more yellow tones to the finish. ![]() If I use anything of high pigmentation such as the Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Loose Finishing Powder ( see review), my face will look too yellow and unnatural. However, I have to be mindful of what setting powder I use on top. The difference is less obvious once the foundation is applied on the skin. When compared to the the same shade in the Sheer Glow formula, it is obvious that the new foundation runs a little more yellow, as seen in the photo below: NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation (L) and Sheer Glow Foundation (R) in Punjab It is the closest match to my current skin (MAC NC30 with yellow undertones). The color that I picked up is Punjab - a “ medium shade with golden, peachy undertones”. NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation Color The product comes in a hefty, square frosted glass bottle with a pump dispenser ( yes, a pump, thank you NARS!) and a matte black, tight bottle cap. The All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation was formulated to give you a full-coverage but lightweight finish that lasts up to 16 hours of wear.

Hopefully my review today will give you some ideas on what you can do to get beautiful results on your skin, too. It took me some trial and error before I was able to get it to work right on my skin. I know exactly why some love it and others don't. If you normally wear Sheer glow then you will find the same shade will work in All day luminous too.By now you've probably already read plenty of contrasting reviews of the new NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. There is one extra colour in this range though which is a very deep shade called Benares. There are 20 shades in this range and thankfully the colours are exactly the same as the colours for NARS Sheer glow.

Less is more when it comes to skin texture. To avoid this either use a good primer or avoid applying it too heavy in these areas. I have a few frown lines and found it settled slightly into these. It gave my skin a soft silk sheen which looked natural. It's true that it feels weightless, it doesn't feel restrictive and absorbsed really quickly. I normally go for a sheer to medium cover foundation but found when applied sparingly I could create more of a medium cover that wasn't too heavy for me. I tested this (Stacey) and I have an oily T-zone with normal cheeks. It was almost like her natural dryness absorbed any luminosity like a black hole absorbs light! She didn't feel that it was moisturising enough for her and didn't feel that the finish was very luminous.

We recommend to apply small amounts and lightly build it up ensuring you blend well in between layers. You literally need the tiniest amount of this foundation to give a good cover.
