NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation - Syracuse (Medium Deep 1)

I combine this foundation with the matching powder. This works for my 12 hour shifts. I didn't rate it 5 stars because it took a while for me to find a shade close to my skin tone and undertone. Its still the wrong undertone but the powder balances it out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cakey and split on my skin. Tried all types of skincare underneath with different setting sprays, powder/no powder etc. looked dreadful when it had a chance to sit on the skin. Looked beautiful on first application but quickly cracked and caked on my face

This foundation provides excellent coverage for my rosacea. The ingredients don't cause any breakouts or irritation. It is longwearing, easily blendable, and removes easily. It pairs well with all my powder products too. Highly recommend and will continue to repurchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have maturing skin but it still tends to be combination and gets very shiny during the day. I tried a sample then bought this one. The colour is spot on and texture is fluid but sets down to a gentle almost powder like finish. I used the NARS creamy concealer too. The foundation lasts well ( still tends to rub off around my nose and mouth after a while , need very little finishing powder. It is very matt so I've just bought a slightly more glowy blusher to wear just to add a bit of life to my face. So on the whole I am very happy, I have sensitive skin and there is no irritation. Thankyou.

this foundation is a foundation, setting powder and concealer all in one swipe! it covers everything so well and feels like silk on your face. vienna is the most beautiful color too with a slight hint of yellow tone. it dries very quickly so don't blob it on too much at once. if your skin in dry, make sure you have a good moisturizer underneath.
