Holy Grail

For people with oily or acne prone skin this is a godsend. Gives you an airbrushed flawless powdery finish. I also love that it doe not have SPF because SPF can break you out as well. Long wearing and full coverage at lasts all day.

Not what I'd hoped for

Unfortunately, this foundation manages to look mask-like and unnatural without actually covering the imperfections in my skin.

Smooth, Full Coverage & Long-Lasting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really impressed with this foundation. It gives great coverage while still looking smooth and natural on the skin. The soft matte finish helps control shine without making my skin look too dry or cakey. It blends nicely, feels comfortable, and lasts well throughout the day. A great choice when I want a polished, long-lasting complexion

My Honest Review

I really enjoyed trying the NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation. It has a smooth, soft-matte finish that gives my skin a really polished look without feeling too heavy. The coverage is buildable, so I can use a small amount for a more natural look or build it up where I need more coverage. I also love how well it blends and how it helps keep shine under control throughout the day. Overall, it gives me that smooth, even-looking complexion I want from a matte foundation while still looking natural on the skin.

Great coverage and long-lasting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This foundation does exactly what it promises a full, matte finish that looks flawless for hours. It has a lightweight texture, blends easily, and effectively covers imperfections without feeling heavy or cakey. I am giving it 4 stars because on very dry skin it might require a really good moisturizer underneath, but for combination and oily skin types, it works amazingly well.

Very disappointing

The colour was not a match to the colour shown online. The product gathered in my pores and looked cakey. Waste of money completely.

NARS Foundation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought NARS Soft Matte foundation as I want a product that works as a 3-in-1 concealer, foundation, and powder, and I think this is a good purchase for that reason. I feel the texture is better than a mousse foundation, and if my skin is very dry, I can mix the foundation with a strobe cream or moisturiser. I was able to purchase it on sale, and shade Yukon 2.5 is a good match for my fair to light skin.
