NARS

#lykoreview

I love this, but the design could be better. Don't get me wrong, I love that it's so fluid because applying it is super smooth and light, but in pump form it easily "slips" down the pump and quickly gets a bit messy, that's the only thing I'm dissatisfied with.

First and foremost: I wanted a silicone-free foundation because it suits my sensitive skin best. Nars (shade Gobi) was color-wise a perfect match. The best result is achieved when I apply it with my fingers - better coverage and a smoother (hear and gasp!) finish. One pump is enough. It never gets thick and cakey, but incredibly natural. Unlike Nars Light-reflecting foundation in the shade Fiji (which I have now as winter paleness starts to fade), the shade Gobi does not oxidize, but maintains the same shade all day. However, the coverage doesn't last all day, despite well-prepped skin and primer. But, that's probably to be expected from a non-silicone product. Therefore, it gets a 4 and not a 5 rating.
