Pros

The coverage is excellent and it applies smoothly. It didn't accentuate dead skin cells and felt lightweight on the skin.

Cons

The longevity doesn't seem to be very long-lasting. Perhaps due to my oily skin, it breaks down quickly, making touch-ups necessary.

Pros

My skin tone is around 23.5, and the Viennese tone-up seems to be just right, about half a tone. - Personally, I don't quite have a dewy finish, but I prefer a moisturizing base. When I apply it with a moisturizing sunscreen, it feels great. - When it breaks down, it blends seamlessly with my skin's natural oils and spreads nicely. - I apply it with my hands and finish with a puff. - I didn't notice any darkening. I recommend this to those who prefer a moisturizing base.

Cons

- The longevity is a bit disappointing due to the moisturizing base, so I mix it with a concealer when applying. - It transfers onto my mask. (I don't know how a moisturizing base could not transfer at all.) - I don't really pay much attention to coverage, so I'm not sure if the coverage is extremely high or not.

Tip

Mix it with the NARS concealer and apply.

Pros

Complexity + Oily Skin + Flushing My skin is blotchy, so I like a foundation with good coverage and lasting power, as well as a matte finish. My number one department store foundation is Double Wear, but when YouTubers were raving about the new matte foundation from NARS, I couldn't resist trying it out. The formula is really dense - just one pump can cover my whole face. But it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It's thin yet provides good coverage, and has a nice, natural matte finish. I've heard it works well with the skin, but as someone with enlarged pores and a tendency to get shiny, it doesn't really work for me.

Cons

Hmm, Double Wear still feels a bit weak for me. The product quality is good, but if I have an event or something, I still tend to reach for Double Wear more.

Pros

This yellow-based foundation blends seamlessly into my skin tone, which is around shade 23. It has a smooth and creamy application, with a luminous, dewy finish that is simply exquisite. The fragrance-free formula is a pleasure to work with.

Cons

If applied too thickly, it can leave visible brush strokes that require additional blending to smooth out.

Pros

The coverage is great! Compared to the Sheer Glow Foundation, the formula is more fluid and the skin shows through more. On the other hand, the Long-Wear Foundation has a thicker consistency and provides better coverage.

Cons

Those with dry skin may find that the makeup can cling and become patchy. In the winter, it's best to mix it with a moisturizer. It tends to transfer a lot onto masks and can feel a bit heavy on the skin.

Tip

Mixing it with a moisturizer helps it adhere better to the skin!

Pros

My skin tone is around shade 22 with a slight yellow undertone. I chose the 'Vienna' color based on the store employee's recommendation, and while it's a bit on the darker side, it creates a calm and sophisticated look. The 'Salzburg' color also suited me well, but since it made my face look more yellow, I decided the slightly darker but overall more flattering Vienna color was the better choice. Before using this product, I had been using the Clio Cushion Foundation for years before switching to the NARS foundation. Just a pea-sized amount pumped out is enough to cover my entire face. It applies thinly and lightly, yet provides great coverage and lasting power. When I put it on in the morning before work, there's only a slight oiliness that comes through by the time I get home, so the product's performance is quite impressive. My skin looks smoothly luminous with a subtle glow. After switching to this foundation, I've received a lot of compliments from those around me! At first, I thought the price was high, but since I've been using the same bottle for a year and a half now, I think the cost-effectiveness is similar or even better than using multiple mid-range cushion products over the same period. I highly recommend this! :)

Cons

This product is a semi-matte formula. As someone with combination skin who prefers a completely matte foundation, this worked well for me. However, if you have oily skin, you may need to do some touch-ups throughout the day without this. Also, be sure to shake the bottle well before use.

Tip

While many people apply foundation with their fingers, I prefer to use an air puff and gently pat it on. Using an air puff gives a more matte, seamless application, and I can go 8 hours or more without needing any touch-ups! Finishing with a luminous blush or highlighter that has a nice sheen complements this foundation's subtle glow and creates an overall very sophisticated, radiant look on the face.

Pros

I mainly used shade 21 and purchased it to use as a two-tone base. The adhesion was good and the coverage was as good as the Double Wear. When I applied it all over my face, I felt the pore coverage was high. It was like a foundation that delivered on its price.

Cons

There is a sense of being applied thickly. Due to the dense formula, the pore coverage was good, but the same thickness was a bit disappointing. Even with a slight mistake in the amount applied, it finished with a feeling of having a layer on top, which was stuffy.

Tip

It was also good to apply with my hands. Since it's a foundation that I felt particularly good at covering pores, it worked better when I used a bristle brush or a pore brush. Applying it with a flat brush was also good, but the tool that could fill in densely fit better.

Pros

The coverage, adherence, and longevity were really great.

Cons

However, the formula applied a bit thickly, and the color was particularly too dark, so I'd like to try a slightly lighter shade next time.

Pros

I started using it from the summer, and my skin type is combination with a tone around #23. I bought it at the duty-free store, so it was a bit less burdensome than the original price. I applied it with a disposable puff I bought from Daiso, and I haven't tried any touch-up makeup. ♡ I want to give 5 stars for the coverage! I bought two items - the NARS foundation and NARS concealer, but the concealer was completely unnecessary! I ended up giving it to a friend as a gift. This one product alone can cover everything, all the blemishes! By the way, I don't have severe acne or facial scars... ♡ When I put on my makeup at 7 am and go to work, by the time I leave at 6 pm, the makeup is still mostly intact, except for the areas around my eyes and nose. I don't really like doing touch-ups, and other foundations or BB creams are almost completely gone after about an hour, but this has amazing staying power! ♡ It applies smoothly, without much effort I just squeeze out two drops on the left side of my face and two on the right, then gently dab it with the puff, spreading it out lightly. This covers my whole face, and I just dab a bit more around the eyes, nose, mouth, and chin. I finish by using the leftover product on the puff to cover my neck. ♡ It's moisturizing and glowy It's not overly dewy, just a nice, subtle glow. Since my skin is a bit oily, the amount of oil in this is just right. But these days, with wearing masks, it can transfer a bit when it's too moisturizing, though it doesn't get to the point of coming off.

Cons

The price is... a bit steep for casual purchases. While I don't expect a drugstore brand to be completely clean, if I had to point out a downside, it would be the potentially harmful ingredients.

Tip

Applying with a puff is more thorough than using your fingers. Be sure to shake it before use.

Pros

Around two years ago, I bought this product because I heard the packaging was pretty and it could be easily applied by hand. The Vienna shade of 23-24 is just perfect for me. Even though it's a 23 shade product, it looks more radiant on my skin, so it was difficult to find the right color match, but this one is just my skin tone. You can cover everything with just a small amount. It has good coverage.

Cons

The cakiness didn't look good on me. No matter how I applied it, it would just crumble and become cakey, so I ended up not using it after trying it for a while.😢 Maybe because I lack the skills, using tools to apply it worked better for me than using my hands.

Tip

Apply a thin layer only on the areas that need coverage
