Editor Review

Rated a 8

Delivers great "Is she even wearing foundation?" sheer coverage, while evening out slight discoloration. (You'll still need concealer for red spots.) Props for a happiness-inducing color selection and zero skin irritation, but dings for longevity. (By day's end, my rosacea shows through.) Nevertheless, a good performer for those with fairly even complexions. Very dry skin types or those who like a dewy finish, keep shopping (and if you hit the Lotto, snap up some La Mer The Treatment Fluid Foundation).

    Perfect Shades and Tones

    by RatnaD (5 reviews)
    I have tried numerous foundation brands and I have to say that NARS is the clear winner. I am of East Indian descent and it's difficult finding the right shade of foundation for my skin. I use Sahara and it feels like my second skin. I have very dry skin and it doesn't make me break out. What more could you ask for. Love it...! April 22, 2008, 2:51 pm

    Only foundation I've bought more than once!

    by rocket (12 reviews)
    This is the only foundation I've bought more than once. I use Mont Blanc, and the color is a near perfect match for my skin tone. It does smell a bit funky at first, sort of like vaseline, but a) that's a million times better than a fake floral perfume and b) it evaporates quickly. It sits lightly on the skin, so it neither... feels nor looks maskesque, blends like a dream, and honestly, does not look like makeup at all. I love it. It is kind of expensive, but well worth every cent. April 18, 2008, 3:58 am

    What a great foundation!

    by amyaub (31 reviews)

    This is a winner for me! I have combo/oily skin and this is one foundation that doesn't look shiny on and doesn't make my skin oily. Mont Blanc is the perfect shade for my porcelain skin tone. Well worth every penny I paid for it. Blends easily and wears well all day. February 12, 2008, 10:20 am

    Very Blendable, Looks Natural.

    by AshleyMichelle (4 reviews)
    I really love Nars foundations for 2 reasons: Blending is a breeze, and always looks very natural. The very sheer, water-like formula dries on skin quickly, and is very buildable. I have never had any problems with breakouts; nor does it melt off my face, even in the scorching heat of Summer, and doesn't settle into fine li...nes, or creases like others do. Wears beautifully, all day (and night!) long. May 16, 2009, 1:50 am

    long time user

    by NIKKI104 (30 reviews)
    I've been using this foundation for over 2 years... I've only gone through 2 bottles. It's very sheer and light. Doesn't provide heavy coverage, so not good for blemishes. Evens out my undereye discoloration and that's about it. But it does the job. I'm just a little NARS crazy and am looking forward to changing over to sma...shbox once this expensive bottle is done.

    WORTH the money

    by MeganMae (17 reviews)
    My friend gave me this foundation because it was too light for her, and when I tried it I was IN LOVE!! It looks AMAZING : great coverage, great feel, great luminous finish. A bit heavy, but it just means you don't have to use much A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. Makes my skin look even, healthy, and flawless. I think it's... my favorite foundation thus far.

    by BeautyBomb91 (3 reviews)
