#NARS SOFT MATTE FOUNDATION SKIN#
Available in 34 shades for all skin tones. Superior Oil Absorbing Powders create a smooth, mattified, second-skin look. New Hydramatte Balancing Complex balances excess sebum while keeping skin hydrated with a combination of micro-algae and Bio Hyaluronic Acid. Featuring NARS’ exclusive Anti-Oxidation Complex to help prevent color shifting and to help protect skin from pollution and blue-light damage. It's one of the most elegant full-coverage formulas I've ever tried and surely on its way to becoming a makeup staple for years to come.Discover all-day satisfaction with a breakthrough in matte foundation: True color oxidation-resistant. But for people who want a full-coverage foundation, like their skin to have a matte finish, don't want to faff around with powder, need something long lasting, or have oily skin that eats away at nearly every foundation they've ever put on their face, then I highly recommend Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation. So what's the verdict? The formula isn't for everyone - those who love a dewy glow, have very dry or crepe-y skin, or prefer the whole no-makeup vibe probably want to sit this one out. I even find that if you do have a particularly nasty-looking spot, you can add a tiny drop of the foundation to your fingertip and press it on top like you would your concealer. The Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation ends up being my foundation, concealer, and powder when I wear it, which means I can skip a few steps of my makeup routine.
Normally, when I wear foundation, I use concealer under my eyes (to brighten), along my nose (to cover redness), and on top of any spots I have that day. In fact, I found I didn't need to use any concealer, either. Available in 34 shades, the formula also contains a proprietary "anti-oxidation complex" that keeps the pigment from oxidizing and changing color on your skin throughout the day.īecause of the powders in the formula, I personally find I don't need to set this foundation with powder. It keeps your skin looking good all day long and barely comes off on your face mask (you still may see a few streaks, especially if you are running to the tube and begin sweating profusely, as I did on one of the days I was testing this).

And while I didn't leave my makeup on for the full 16 hours, I can still attest to how steadfast this formula is. The Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation is about as user-friendly as a full-coverage formula can get - the liquid is silky and blends beautifully, which meant I found I had quite a lot of time to move it around and buff it in before the foundation set for good. I'm generally someone who prefers a buildable, light-to-medium foundation, but as a makeup-lover and former dancer, I can appreciate a good full-coverage formula when I try one (and I've tried a lot in my 11 years as a beauty editor). Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Sophia Panych Because of these two ingredients, the formula definitely has a powdery feel on the skin, although I promise you it doesn't look powdery or chalky. Additionally, the foundation contains another type of powder that helps absorb excess oil on the skin's surface, leaving your skin looking matte and helping the foundation last longer (the brand promises this new formula offers 16-hour wear). In fact, it contains some of the same ingredients as the concealer, including the sphere-shaped diffusing powders that give your skin a blurred, airbrush finish. When it sets, it has the same velvety-matte finish as the concealer and efficiently covers up any spots or redness you might want not want to show off that day. The Soft Matte Complete Foundation ($40) aims to do all of the above but in liquid form.
It comes in 16 shades, with more on the way, according to the brand. You can apply it with your finger or buff it onto your skin with a brush, using it in place of foundation. It's on the drier side, which means it sets and stays, however, it's still sheer and creamy enough that it blends seamlessly - you don't know where the concealer ends and your skin begins. It's a cream formula that can be applied sheerly or packed on for full, spot-concealing opacity. It's been part of my makeup routine ever since it launched in 2013. I'm one of those megafans of the Soft Matte Concealer ($30). Named after the brand's bestselling, much-beloved concealer of the same name - a product nearly every makeup artist we know rates and has in their kits - it's no surprise that expectations for the foundation version of Soft Matte were high.
The new Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation had big shoes to fill.
