Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation Review

Hi dolls, so I would feel slightly selfish if I didn't share with you the foundation I've been in love with recently. Nars All Day Luminous Weightless is the name it goes by however I'm sure you have heard about this foundation by now as it seems to be on everyone's lips. I really wanted to share my honest opinion with you and having worn for around 5 days I can tell you exactly what I think!

So Nars released this foundation only a couple of months ago and I've been dying to get my hands on it however it's been sold out in every department store I visited. Nars claim that this product is full coverage, offers 16 hours of wear and is weightless on the skin. It also comes in a wide range of shades. 

I have to admit this isn't the most full coverage of foundations I've tried. Double Wear and MAC's Studio Sculp offer a higher coverage but this is genuinely not far off! The difference with this foundation compared to the aforementioned is that this feels like you are literally wearing nothing! It doesn't feel thick or cakey and looks super natural and breathable. I can touch my face without feeling like it's rubbing off which also isn't the case with other foundations. Nars claim you need only 1 drop but I do use 2 to give me the coverage I require which is really just my preference. For a little less coverage 1 drop suffices. 

So does it really last 16 hours?... I apply this foundation first thing in the morning and it still looks just as good in the evening when I return from work. I think I start looking slightly oily around my chin after about 6 hours so I do take a pressed powder out with me. I will admit though that it seems a shame to powder this foundation because I absolutely love the finish! It's perfect for glowy summer skin but not as glowy as it's sister foundation 'Sheet Glow' which is a disaster for my oily skin. It has a satin, luminous finish so isn't great if you prefer a super matte finish however nothing a little powder won't sort out.

When it comes to the shades I was matched up to Punjab and Stromboli (for when I'm more tanned). I went for Stomboli as I am going away next week and knew I'd need something for when my skins been in the sun. It matches my skin better than any other foundation I've tried!

The packaging is one thing that lets this product down. It comes in a glass jar which is awful when travelling as it's so heavy and you only need to drop this on a hard floor and it will shatter. The lid has a velvetty finish so gets dirty very easy but one great thing about this is that it comes with a pump which is really handy as other foundations require you to buy this as an optional extra. 

At £32 this is up there with the more expensive foundations I've tried but knowing that a little goes a long way justifies the price!

Let me know if you've have tried this and what you think or if you have any recommendations for other foundations you think I need to try!
