The Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation by NARS is a liquid foundation with medium to high coverage for up to 16 hours of feather-light hold. The result looks wonderfully natural thanks to the light, air-permeable texture, fades and smudges not and the skin gets an unexpected luminosity. Using a unique combination of a translucent base with micronized amino acid-coated pigments and mineral color-balancing powder, the formula mimics natural skin tone for the closest approximation possible. The NARS Skin Optimizing Complex - a blend of raspberry, apple and watermelon extracts - supports the skin and improves its appearance and luminosity. With 33 different shades available, there's a shade to suit all skin tones and in-betweens. Application: Remove a pearl-sized amount of product. The foundation is highly concentrated in pigments and blends perfectly. If you apply too much foundation, the so-called skin-recognition pigments cannot unfold their effect ideally. It is advisable to exfoliate regularly to create an ideal base for the foundation. First apply the foundation with your fingers and blend in with a sponge if necessary.
