Love this tinted moisturizer!
Being a fan of NARS products, I was extremely excited for the launch of this product, so as soon as it was available at Nordstrom, I rushed to purchase it! I've used it for about two weeks now, and am very pleased with the tinted moisturizer.
-At first, I was a bit concerned about the shade selection for my NC30/NARS Sheer Glow Punjab/Make Up For Ever HD 120 skintone. After swatching, I knew Finland (the first shade) would be too light, and St. Moritz (third shade) would be too dark. I was hesitant about Alaska since it is classified as a "Light 2" shade, but my normal foundation shade, Nars Punjab, is classified as "Medium 1." However, Alaska has proven to be a great match for my light-medium yellow-toned skintone.
-The coverage and texture have been excellent for a tinted moisturizer. I've tried a number of tinted moisturizers, including Laura Mercier's and Smashbox's. While I loved the convenience and low-maintenance factors of those tinted moisturizers, I wasn't a fan of their sheer coverage or how after a number of hours, the TM would feel slightly gummy and look shiny on my oily skin. With NARS, the coverage has been just as good as what I'd get with their Sheer Glow Foundation (which, to those who aren't familiar with Sheer Glow, isn't really sheer), but the TM looks more natural (doesn't settle into pores or lines) and feels absolutely fantastic, like second skin! Depending on how much you choose, I would classify the coverage as light-medium, and it can certainly be built to medium without looking unnatural.
-The lasting power of this tinted moisturizer has been impressive too. Besides its lightweight and comfortable texture, its staying power on my oily skin has been excellent. After a long workday, the tinted moisturizer is still intact.
-No breakouts on my acne-prone skin after a few weeks of using this.
I am very happy with this tinted moisturizer and am so glad to have switched from using foundation to this product. Sometimes, my skin will feel heavy after using foundation, and it takes more work -- I have to be careful to fully blend in the foundation. WIth this tinted moisturizer, I love how I only have to use one product (rather than a separate sunscreen and primer), and it feels and looks seamless on the skin. I highly recommend this product!

Not at all for dry skin
This product was not moisturizing at all, it left my dry skin skin feeling dry by the end of the day. Not only did it cling to the dry spots on my face but clung to dry spots I didn't know I even had! I would not recommend this product for anyone with dry skin.

PERFECTION!!
This is by FAR the best foundation I have ever used and let me tell you, I've tried many, manyyyyy foundations lol. It goes on smooth and gives the perfect amount of coverage. I'm med/fair and the Groenland light-3 is an exact match for my skin. I do recommend the Beauty Blender sponge for application. I've also used my Kabuki brush and it goes on great with both but I do notice a smoother application with the Beauty Blender sponge. I highly recommend this foundation!!

Excellent Tinted Moisturizer
I am a new tinted moisturizer user. Previously, I was using foundation but didn't like that it gave me a 'makeup look'. Because I am 60+, I typically use the Nars Tinted Moisturizer along with my repair serum and daytime moisturizer in order not to lose the anti-aging benefits of those products. When I do, my skin looks youthful, fresh, and bright. For more casual days, the Nars does moisturize sufficiently so that I can use it without my daily moisturizer. Besides providing a lovely finish to my skin, I especially like that the Nars Tinted Moisturizer comes in a large variety of colors. I have a medium complexion and I purchased Annapurna based on the recommendation of the Nordstrom online beauty consultant. I told her what foundation I was using and this is the color she recommended. It is perfect. It provides color without looking like makeup. All I need to do is to add a touch of blush on my cheeks. I tried another more expensive tinted moisturizer for several weeks but returned it because it made me look too pale. The Nars Tinted Moisturizer provides the perfect amount of natural color, coverage and moisturizing. Excellent product.

OooooLaLa
This product is fabulous. At the advice of my derm (years ago), I've been searching for the HG of a tinted moisturizer with a good SPF. The drug store brands have all been thick, gooey, pore clogging, and way too heavy. So, for years my sunscreen has been my foundation. Recently, I was in the cosmetics' section of one of my local Nordstrom's looking for a light, natural, non-comedogenic foundation. The sales' consultant suggested NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. I wasn't too keen on the idea due to my negative outcomes to other tinted moisturizers. But, I did accept the free samples she gave me. Hesitantly, I tried them. WOW!!! This is a wonderful product. I did research on the product and liked the ingredients, and no parabens!!! I'm a minimalist, so the coverage is perfect. It has a very light creamy texture that goes on well with either your fingers or a makeup brush. When I went back to Nordstrom's to purchase a full tube, I had the sales' consultant match my color. I'm an Alaska, and the color is perfect. The consultant applied the product with a brush, which in my opinion was just a bit too heavy for me, but it you're looking to layer this product, a makeup brush might be a good idea. When using the NARS tinted moisturizer, I use my usual 2 serums under the NARS. Then I apply the NARS and just a light dusting of Guerlain's Meteorites. That's it! No other foundation for my minimalist wants and needs. It gives my combination skin just enough moisture for the dry Denver climate. This product does NOT settle in my fine lines or creases (especially in the eye area) and does NOT clog my pores. Yay!!! Also, I was recently at a ladies' tea. I was talking to several women much younger than I (sigh)! They couldn't believe that I was 61. They thought I was in my late 40s...50 at most. They wanted to know what I use on my face. The only new product I was using was the NARS tinted moisturizer. This is a wonderful product. If you have any doubts, ask for a sample at Nordstrom's. You won't be disappointed.

I was excited to try this product, and was disappointed for two reasons. First, it's causing breakouts and I haven't had acne problems in a while. Second, the color selection isn't great and the shade I chose got darker and more orange throughout the day. Hopefully this will work better on others.

Best tinted moisturizer!
I have tried a lot of tinted moisturizers from high-end to drugstore. None come close to "NARS Pure Radient". The finish is beautiful! The coverage is amazing! It is so hydrating and covers all of my imperfections without the heavy feel. It does not collect in lines or wrinkles. Minimizes the look of large pores. If you have light/medium skin with gold undertones, (like I do) try the color Groenland. Your skin will look radient!
