Ulta Beauty Big Haul: NARS

Let’s take a close look to these NARS foundations.

The Natural Radiant feels soft and matte on skin, I feel like it’s gonna be perfect for oily skin, even for dry and combination skin as well!

The Light Reflecting feels more hydrating and definitely works for dry skin.

But don’t forget that the right skin prep will lead you to a flawless look even if you’re using matte foundation!

... Read moreSince I'm always on the hunt for the perfect base, my recent Ulta haul really got me excited about diving deeper into NARS foundations. I've heard so much about their quality, and I was eager to put both the Natural Radiant Longwear and Light Reflecting formulas to the test on my own skin. It's not just about what's in the bottle; it's about how it performs throughout the day, how it feels, and if it truly caters to different skin needs. Let's talk about the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation first. In my experience, this foundation truly delivers on its 'longwear' promise. I found that it stayed put for hours, even through a busy day, which is fantastic for those 'event-proof' makeup moments. The finish is a beautiful, natural matte – not flat or dull, but a soft radiance that looks incredibly healthy. For coverage, it's definitely on the fuller side, effortlessly evening out my skin tone and camouflaging imperfections without feeling heavy. I was impressed by its comfort; despite the high coverage, it didn't feel like a mask. I think this one shines for anyone with combination to oily skin who wants a lasting, polished look, but even my drier patches felt comfortable with the right skin prep. The packaging, with its sleek glass bottle and convenient pump, also feels really luxurious and practical for daily use. Now, onto the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation. This one was a game-changer for my skin on days I craved something more hydrating and luminous. It feels incredibly lightweight, almost like a second skin, which contributes immensely to its comfort. The coverage is a buildable medium, perfect for achieving that 'my skin but better' look, letting my natural complexion shine through while still perfecting it. What truly stands out is its hydrating quality; it blurs imperfections and smooths the skin, giving it a healthy glow without looking greasy. For those with dry or even sensitive skin, this foundation is a fantastic option. I personally found it didn't irritate my skin at all, and it kept my complexion feeling supple throughout the day. It also held up remarkably well, maintaining its luminous finish without fading or creasing. The bottle design, while similar to the Natural Radiant, has its own elegant feel, making it a lovely addition to any vanity. One aspect where NARS truly excels is its inclusive beauty range and shade diversity. Both foundations offer an impressive array of shades, making it easier to find that perfect match. When I was looking for '2 different shades for 2 different clients' (or just for myself with seasonal changes!), I appreciated the range. My tip for finding your ideal shade is to always swatch a few options on your jawline in natural daylight. Don't be afraid to ask for samples or use online shade finders as a starting point. Ultimately, choosing between these two NARS foundations comes down to your personal skin type and desired finish. If you're after full coverage, a natural matte look, and exceptional wear, the Natural Radiant is your go-to. But if you prefer a lighter, more hydrating feel with a luminous finish and buildable coverage, the Light Reflecting will be your new best friend. Remember, experimenting with both, perhaps even trying different 'swatches' in store, is the best way to discover which NARS complexion fundamental will elevate your makeup routine.
