NARS

Light Reflecting 原生光亮肌粉底液

Received this newly launched foundation from @cosme a couple days ago. I was kind of excited of this launch since it claims to be a natural finish foundation and it is powered by advanced skincare ingredients that help defend against environmental aggressors and blue light. Also, it is infused with a photochromic Technology, a “photo-friendly” powder that adjusts complexion tone in response to the intensity of light—skin never appears washed out.

For me, what I like in a foundation: natural looking (not too dewy since I don’t like to see my face all glow up, when you don’t know it’s just oil glow or “dewy glow), and not too cakey. Personally I like my foundation is more like natural, clean but also conceal all the imperfections. I have a quite serious dark circles and a bit of eye bags. So I don’t ask for a foundation that can conceal my dark circles when I would put concealer anyway.

The shade I received is Fiji, and it suited my skin tone perfectly! It is the same shade that I always use!
I was surprised by the consistency of the foundation! It is light weight, very light. I used my Real Techniques sponge for blending. I took a pic after one layer and as you can see, it’s not a high coverage foundation but still it balanced my skin colour, it looked natural and there was the natural glow. And after first layer, your skin wasn’t sticky which was a major surprise for me!

And after, I put one more layer of it and finish my makeup. I put on my NARS creamy concealer, shading, blush, and set it with my Laura Mercier setting powder and Benefit setting spray. And I’m very shook about the final look since after two layers of foundation, it doesn’t look cakey, it still looked like “my skin but better”. I wore for the whole night, and I can say, it didn’t look oily and it did not oxidised. I love the finishing of it and it didn’t transfer to the mask so it really stay on! If you are looking for a natural looking foundation, please get this! You will be surprised.

What’s good is that, you know some foundation can clog pores and you could have those little bumps, but the next day my skin still look the same! So I’m very excited to see if this foundation can really enhance luminosity while improving the look of skin’s clarity over 6 weeks. I will definitely recommend this product and I will keep using it!
