Nars Balanced Foundation

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).

    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... April 18, 2008, 3:58 am 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

    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...

    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

    This is great color wise...but (I hate having to write this "but")

    by CVines (8 reviews)
    After a very long search, this has been the only foundation that matches my very yellow skin color. However, it broke me out! I hate that.... February 20, 2008, 10:23 pm
