  Pros

  It applies smoothly over sunscreen without causing any breakouts! When applied directly after skincare without sunscreen, it also provides good coverage.

  Cons

  When applied over sunscreen, the makeup seems to break down faster as time goes by. However, if I apply it without any base, I keep getting deep blemishes.

  Pros

  It applies smoothly and offers decent coverage. I really appreciate the generous amount you get. After application, it sets to a matte finish, making it perfect for summer use.

  Cons

  If you have dry skin or blemishes, it tends to accentuate those problem areas. Also, for those with oily skin, it may break down in a less-than-flattering way, so you'll need to touch up regularly throughout the day.

  Pros

  Right after application, it beautifully enhances the skin... perhaps thanks to the skincare base. The variety of shades is also noteworthy.

  Cons

  As someone with dry skin, I find it sits on top of my skin rather than absorbing. It settles into expression lines around the nose and under-eye area, causing creasing and flaking. The worst part is how it breaks down - it's really unflattering. It seems to separate and crack, and touch-ups only make it worse, leaving me at a loss. It's a thick, heavy foundation that American beauty YouTubers might prefer, but it doesn't suit my preference for a more natural, translucent skin-like finish. Unfortunately, it just didn't work with my makeup style!

  Pros

  I really liked how it applied with a moisturizing yet matte finish.

  Cons

  While I appreciated the matte effect, it seemed to break down faster compared to other NARS products in terms of longevity.

  Pros

  Great for skin appearance, lightweight, and moisturizing. It eventually becomes semi-matte, giving me the exact finish I wanted.

  Cons

  It has absolutely no coverage. It starts breaking down from the nose area. You'll just end up with a bright bare face look.

  Tip

  Try mixing it with other products for better results.

  Pros

  True to its name, it has a nice matte finish and is great for applying lightly and thinly. While it doesn't have zero coverage, it's not highly covering, so it might be best to use with a concealer.

  Cons

  For my combination dehydrated skin, the nose area breaks down by afternoon while the rest stays put, so I use it with a finishing powder. Although there are various shades, they all lean yellow overall, so even with shade 23, I can't find a match. Might as well try shade 1 Greenland at this point...

  Tip

  Since it's weak at covering pores, those with large pores might want to use a pore primer first. If you have a solid skincare routine, you shouldn't experience any deep dryness. Also, if you dislike pink-based foundations, you might enjoy using this for its yellow-based, natural tone.

  Pros

  Great value for money with a generous amount of product. The application feels nice (just the feeling though). It didn't get oily during summer use. You can apply it in thin layers.

  Cons

  This is the worst foundation I've ever used. It's too yellow and doesn't provide good coverage. It's just a lot of product with poor quality. Even the Yves Saint Laurent Encre de Peau foundation, known for being drying, worked much better for me. This one is extremely drying. I'm almost finished with it, but my skin is reaching its limit. It doesn't adhere well, comes off easily, and breaks down quickly.

  Tip

  I'm at a loss. I've tried everything, including using a damp beauty sponge, but nothing works. I'm just going to throw it away. If I had to give a tip, it would be to apply an extremely hydrating skincare base, spritz with face mist, let it absorb, then apply a thin layer of foundation, mist again, apply another thin layer, and set with mist or a fixing spray. You really need to apply it in very thin layers.

  Pros

  One of the best things about this product is that you can easily apply it with your fingers without any hassle. The adherence is not bad either, and it finishes with a slightly powdery feel, but it's not too matte, so there's no flaking or emphasis on dead skin cells. The coverage is medium. I tested it at the department store before buying, and they recommended applying thin layers multiple times, so I usually apply two thin layers. While I don't typically use high-coverage products, this one provides decent medium coverage.

  Cons

  The longevity and transfer are quite disappointing. I bought this product after hearing good things about NARS foundations, but contrary to its name 'Skin Tint', its staying power is terrible. When first applied, it looks bright, powdery, and dewy, which is nice, but that state doesn't last long at all. By the time I get to work, it already feels like some of it has disappeared. That's probably why they recommended a concealer during the testing session, and my friend who bought it with me also finds this aspect most disappointing. While it's lightweight and offers some coverage, the poor longevity and significant fingerprints left behind are the biggest drawbacks.

  Tip

  I've recently started using a MAC fixer along with it, which seems to somewhat improve its longevity.

  Pros

  As someone with oily skin, I'm not a fan of sticky foundations, but I loved how this one has a fresh, powdery finish! True to its name, it applies thinly, which is great.

  Cons

  It doesn't break down prettily. When it does break down, it tends to settle into the creases around the nose. The sales associate said it was an all-in-one product, so I wouldn't need a separate compact or powder. However, given my skin type, I feel the need to set the foundation with a compact. Due to its powdery nature, if your skincare isn't applied smoothly or depending on your skin condition, it can slightly emphasize dead skin cells, especially when reapplying!

  Tip

  Don't apply it right after squeezing it out. Instead, spread it on the back of your hand first, let your body heat warm it up a bit, then apply. While using a puff is fine, I find that using a brush is more effective in preventing the emphasis of dead skin cells. In my case, I either mix it with Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk foundation or apply a very thin layer of Giorgio first, followed by a thin layer of this skin tint. The staying power is better than when using this product alone. It's a perfect combination to layer a moderately moisturizing foundation thinly, then a thin layer of this skin tint. It doesn't break down easily either. I went out drinking with this combination, and my base makeup stayed intact! I only needed to blot excess oil with a compact. If you use it well, it's a pretty good foundation.

  OK
  Pros

  Applies smoothly when using the foundation with your fingers. The texture is so nice that on skin without visible pores or bumps, it creates a beautiful dewy glow that's just perfect to look at.

  Cons

  Too many strange issues. While it doesn't cause large blemishes, it leaves behind many small, grain-like bumps. High chance of applying too thick. Hard to find a good match with other brushes or sponges. Tends to separate easily. Clumps and breaks down - it's better to use it alone (doesn't pair well with concealer).

  Tip

  Apply with your fingers and finish by gently patting with a dry sponge without any added moisture!
