Perfect
I normally steer away from tinted moisturizers because they either make me too oily, or make my skin feel dry because there's not really much moisture in them. Also, I have quite bad skin (regardless of my tireless efforts), so sheer color isn't for me and I have to opt for full coverage foundation even on days when I feel so lazy and don't want to do makeup. When Nars jumped on the tinted moistur...read moreizer bandwagon so late in the game compared to other brands, I had faith because I knew that Nars was holding back to create something that was going to excel above other tinted moisturizers. First off, there are NINE colors to choose from--which is plenty more than the average three or four that brands usually make. Therefore, you're more likely to find a shade that is actually going to fit you and you're not going to look awkward with a mask of a different color. There's spf 30 in this too--which is quite common among other moisturizers. This isn't going to leave you with a shiny slick like other moisturizers can, it leaves you with a dewy complexion (hence the name Radiance). What I find that separates this from the other brands is that this makes claims that it can REDUCE hyperpigmentation and even the skin tone in as little as four weeks. I do have a bit of pigmentation on my chin from hormonal acne, but I'm curious to see if I see any improvements (it's far too soon to tell). I feel that I do get quite a good amount of coverage with this--far more than other tinted moisturizers. Of course you're not going to cover everything, but I noticed that my complexion looked SO much more even, even though I could still see a few dark spots. A lot of people are going to freak out when they see the $42 price tag, but they do not realize that you get a MUCH bigger bottle than other tinted moisturizers which are close to price in range. So far, I think you get your money's worth. Even before the tinted moisturizers officially launched in Sephora stores (when they were only available at Nars boutiques), within a MONTH, this product has already created a cult following and in most places are already selling out. So give this a try! You'll love it!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 19 of 22 people said helpful

Nars Tinted Moisturizer
I have been trying all sorts of tinted moisturizers with SPF and I have now tried the Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 and I love it! I tried the medium shade and even though I have light skin, it blended right in! This covered my red acne marks, my sun spots, my hyperpigmentation, and completely evened out my skin tone. This does transfer slightly if you don't use a powder over it. ...read more The consistency is not too thin or too thick and a single application was all I needed. This has one of the higher SPF counts but doesn't smell or feel like a sunscreen. So far, I would have to say the Nars Tinted Moisturizer is in 1st place! This is definitely worth giving a try!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 7 people said helpful

Good but didn't live up to hype
I bought this after reading so many rave reviews all over the place about it. It does give a pretty glow that's for sure but it wasn't miraculous enough for me to keep it after spending $42. Had it been cheaper, it probably would have been a keeper but the results weren't spectacular enough. Good product though.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful
