NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation | Review

Today I’m going to be reviewing the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless in Siberia.

This product was purchased by myself from the Selfridges website.

Colour Range

The colour range for this foundation is incredible. I kind of expect that from a high end foundation however. I was impressed with the range within the range, if you know what I’m getting at! There’s not just two light, two medium and two darker – there’s actually 20 shades! From ‘Siberia’ (a neutral balance of white and yellow undertones) to ‘Khartoum’ (a dark with espresso undertones.) Although, I found it hard to get hold of my colour online!

Packaging

I really love the packaging of this foundation. It’s so classy! The matte black square lid, the frosted glass. The glass really does pull that element of luxury to the product rather than plastic. The logo really does pull it all together. It comes in a lovely black box, similar to MAC’s products but I hardly ever keep them, there’s just not the room in my storage system. The leaflet inside has all the information you need, ingredients, how to apply, coverage information, which is helpful.

Coverage and Application

 The leaflet states that the coverage is a full, natural looking one whilst still remaining weightless – I agree completely. I love a full coverage foundation as I have un-even skin tone. The consistency is thinner than my Rimmel foundations. The more you shake the bottle, the thicker it seems to become. It blends really well though. I’ve tried a variety of different tools to apply it, to find the best way. So far it’s a mixture of my fingers and my beauty blender, soaked in warmer water. I find the warmth helps this foundations blend into my skin better. Colder tools such as the beauty blender in colder water and the brushes I usually use seems to smear the foundation and not let it sink in properly. I first tried it on the back of my hand where I have quite prominent blue veins and the difference it made was remarkable. But all without making my skin look cakey and covered in makeup.

 Promises

However, the promised 16 hour coverage doesn’t last. Don’t get me wrong, it has got a brilliant coverage time, it’s more like 8 hours. This may be down to the fact that I have oil-combination skin so I find it hard to keep any make up on longer than this.

Overall, I do like this foundation. It’s full coverage, perfect colour match. I’m happy to pay the £32 for this product as I believe it is worth the money. Unlike the MAC Studio Fix Plus.

What’s your thoughts on the NARS ADIW Foundation?
