When lightly applied over cushion foundation, it doesn't transfer to masks and maintains a subtle glow. It's not suffocating on the skin, and even when it fades, it does so beautifully. I love it so much that when anyone asks for a powder recommendation, this is my absolute top choice, no questions asked! It's pricey, but truly worth every penny.
ConsThe built-in puff is far too thin to be usable. Unless Nars decides to revamp just the puff, you're better off using a brush to apply the powder.
TipWhen used with a dewy cushion foundation, it does tone down the glow a bit. In this case, I found that lightly tapping a bit of cushion foundation over the powder helps bring back some of that glow while still keeping oil at bay. It's a great balance!

It doesn't absorb oil to the point of drying out your skin or causing your makeup to crack. Instead, it controls just the right amount of oil, leaving your skin feeling soft and matte. I've gone through two containers - it lasts a long time and comes in a truly beast-sized quantity!
ConsAfter the product was reformulated, it now includes a puff that looks like a scrap of paper. I absolutely don't use it - it's really not meant to be used. Instead, I just sweep the product on with the other side of the puff after finishing my makeup. When I'm going out, I sometimes touch up using the Blotterazzi from BeautyBlender.

I always press this on after using cushion foundation. It enhances longevity and prevents hair from sticking to my face. As someone whose nose tends to get oily over time, I often pat it on my nose bridge with my fingers, even without blotting paper. Being pressed powder, it's surprisingly generous in quantity and sturdy - I've dropped it over ten times, and it's still intact! Its slim design makes it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.
ConsWhile it's less drying compared to other powders I've tried, it can still feel dry if you haven't properly exfoliated or moisturized. There's no visible shimmer... If you're expecting a glow, look elsewhere. The matte case always looks dirty. I tossed the included puff after using it twice. Now I just use a brush to lightly apply it where needed. Being a pressed powder, oil can sometimes build up on the surface.
TipWhen the product hardens due to oil buildup and won't come off, press scotch tape firmly onto the surface and peel it off two or three times. This will make it like new again. As my skin is dry except for the T-zone, I use a brush to lightly touch and pat only where needed.

I also love NARS' signature edgy case design.
ConsThe included puff... did they include it for us to use or to throw away? You might find it doesn't pick up product well even with other regular brushes. That's because oils left on the brush can coat the surface of the product.
TipIf it's not picking up well, crumple a paper towel loosely and gently rub the surface in circles a couple of times. This slightly 'shaves' the surface and helps it pick up better. However, it might hurt your heart to shave away such an expensive product.

I loved that it didn't make my makeup look cakey, and the fine particles meant that even if I applied too much, it didn't clump together.
ConsThe built-in puff was separate, which made it a bit inconvenient to carry around.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with dry skin, slight fine lines, and a bit of pigmentation like sun spots, I prefer a clean skin finish over heavy coverage makeup. By adjusting my skincare routine seasonally and using a makeup base, a touch of foundation, and NARS powder, my makeup stays put unless I'm sweating profusely. Though cushion compacts are trendy for touch-ups, I tried them briefly but ultimately came back to this trusty powder compact... It's just that good!
ConsThe included puff is absolutely useless. Can't use it at all. If your skincare is too heavy, the makeup might pill, but if it's too light, your skin could get dry. Those used to cushion compacts might find it hard to adapt at first.
TipI recommend using a brush instead of a puff to avoid over-application and dryness. If brush cleaning is a hassle, try buying flat mini brushes from drugstores. Use one every two weeks and toss it - it's a great hack! They usually cost around $2-$4, similar to air puffs. Their small size makes them perfect for carrying in the powder compact itself.

The subtle shimmer definitely adds a lively glow to your face!
ConsThe built-in puff is useless. It's much better to use a brush - it brings out the shimmer effect and works so much better.

I use it as a finishing touch over BB cream, and it improves the longevity of my makeup. Overall, it's quite good.
ConsThe included puff is rather flimsy, so you'll need to buy a new one separately.

Even though I have combination skin, when I pat it in, it feels powdery soft like dry skin. It also makes my face look radiant. When I touch up my makeup, it doesn't clump even after patting. I've purchased more than 3 already! It looks like a highlighter, but it's definitely not! It's more of a brightening moisturizer that evens skin tone, similar to a finishing powder. It also smooths over pores nicely!
ConsI was skeptical about the built-in puff at first, but it works so well together that I want to buy several more. It gets dirty quickly and needs to be replaced, but they don't sell it separately... That's the only downside! There's absolutely no issue with the skin becoming dry or anything like that!!!
TipUsing a fluffy puff to press it in gives a powdery finish (like the fluffy puff that comes with Anna Sui loose powder!)

It doesn't darken significantly over time, and it adheres to the skin beautifully. The compact is slim, fitting perfectly into your makeup pouch. I'll definitely be repurchasing this.
ConsIt might be too drying for those with dry skin. The included puff is extremely thin and not very impressive - it looks more like a travel-size applicator.
