I’ve been wearing this all week and loving it. I’m 53 with dryyy skin. It’s the only foundation I have that is a perfect shade match and has coverage despite being so lightweight. And it sets down so I don’t have to powder!
A nice finish on this one. I agree, the undertone is definitely not cool toned but rather neutral leaning peach, at least form this side that's how it appears. With that being said, this would be a great summer shade on you. 😊🌞
I was so sad because it was breaking apart like mad on my skin the first two times I used it. Then, I remembered you saying that you liked the Wet n Wild Impossible Primer and that did the trick! Look glorious and lasts all day. It's a silicone-free foundation and it needed a silicone-free primer to create a barrier between the foundation and skincare. Thanks for two amazing recommendations!
Okay, so I got the shade Vienna. It's slightly too dark as I don't have any tan yet this year, so it probably would be my summer shade, but I can get away with it. What I have to say is WOW! You were absolutely correct. It is stunning, and I have never worn a foundation that I didn't feel at least a tiny bit. I feel like I have 0 makeup on. My skin is so smooth. This...this is why I follow you almost religiously. Now I have to try the Guerlain too! Love the Nars 10/10 do recommend!
The next foundation review I would love to see is the new Kosas Revealer Foundation and now that I've typed this out I thank I've already told you this, lol. Now I definitely want to try this Nars foundation out, everyone is loving it and you couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Ok, update: I have tried Yukon, the next cool toned shade down. It is much pinker in tone than Vienna, which has more yellow as you noted. I mix Yukon with Deauville to get my shade as I am just a hair cool but mostly neutral. I do love the formula and wear of this foundation though so to me it’s worth it.
Thanks so much for your review - I typically use nars face products but have been waiting for your review before splurging on this! Thanks again for your close ups! This looks great on you!
Yup, I'm a fan of this one, as well. I like the slight dewiness it seems to have on your skin! (I'm all about the dew!) The blush is SUPER happenin'! I may have to see if there's a shade for my skin tone (deep). Nars never seems to disappoint! Love when you're a fan! Thanks for this wonderful review!
Great review, Shelly. The foundation looks great on your skin. I've not heard one negative review on this product. It's very natural looking. You definitely have a winner. Have a great weekend. ❤❤ NARS isn't cruelty free, unfortunately. They used to be.
Thanks for this review Shelly! I've had my eye on this foundation but finding it hard to find my shade bc the undertones seem to be off.. I will figure it out eventually, I need to get my hands on this haha
Great review. I need that color! The finish really does play well on dry mature skin, no doubt. I’d love to see what you think of the Chanel 1. Pretty sure you said you ordered it so I’m really excited for that one too!
Hi Shelly, if you haven’t done so already, I’d appreciate a review of the Nars tinted moisturizer. It would be nice to have a review with a comparison of the new Nars foundation and Nars Sheer Glow foundation. I usually wear the same shades as you or 1-2 shades lighter. I think the shade Yukon might work for you in the light reflecting foundation (it’s Light 2.5). At the time I’m posting that shade and 31 other shades are available at Sephora at Kohl’s. Some of the shades may be available only via shipping and some of the shades may be available only in-store but many of the shades are available both in-store or via shipping. Also the Nars website has a special if the foundation is purchased in a bundle with either the pressed powder or loose powder. Thank you for the video!
Yay! An A!!! But yes, it is a tad bit more to the "yellow" side rather than the cool.. but with your hair color it works well and you are right about this being a great shade for spring - summer- fall.. good for you!!! Good thing it did not oxidize on you ... that might have taken it elsewhere! Enjoy the weekend! And I'll see you on IG! 💚
Thanks for the review! I love your commentary and humor. I've just tried out this Nars foundation and it seems pretty nice so far. I think it looks great on you!
Yay! I was waiting to see what you thought of this one. I got it in Oslo, too light, but Yukon is smidge too dark. I like it but it kind of performed exactly like the Sheer Glow when powdered. I guss it would fall on the ingredients and what one is looking for.
OH and guess what!? NARS has a light reflecting setting pressed powder that goes with this! I just got it yesterday at Sephora. $39. Still gotta try it but it gets excellent reviews 😊
I finally bought this today. It went on super light but oxidized on me, & when settled it was still my shade. The formula seems not drying, and a gentle matte finish.
Hi there 🙋🏼♀️ I started with the shade Vienna, like you it was just a touch 2 dark on me, so I picked up Novad, the next cool shade down and it’s perfect for Winter ❄️ Looks good on you! I’m still playing around with mine trying to figure out the best skincare to use underneath..
Wow!! I'm so excited to try this one now! Is this your first 100?? Could you review the new Makeup Forever HD Skin foundation? Thanks for all the great reviews!
Yay!!! I can’t wait to get this foundation. I was waiting for your review before I order, although now I need to wait for my shade to restock. Your word is law for me! Thanks again 💕
I was so happy to see you had reviewed this foundation. I always check your shade as I tend to nearly always wear the same shade as you.. I could not find the shade Vienna anywhere as that was the suggested color for me so I was given a sample but I also purchased Yukon and love it!! This is truly an amazing foundation.
I’m so glad that you liked this. I purchased it yesterday and I have super dry skin. It’s pricy but if it works I’ll be happy. Have a wonderful weekend 💕💕💕
@@goow I got the color Deauville and I like it a lot but the bottle seems small for the price, but it’s a good one for sure. I had to mix a serum with it bc my skin is so dry. Not sure about mixing it since it is water based??? Maybe I should dampen my skin before applying. It really is a beautiful foundation. Have a Happy Thanksgiving 💕
@@kimfromarkansas2084 I have the worst dry skin and the lady at Sephora suggested I put a drop of squalene oil in my brush or sponge right before I put on my foundation and man it is a game changer. I took back It better than skin, Dr Jart new stuff, and the Haus labs. She suggested I get the Nars and try this. So far im happy. It was all making my face look super dry before my work shift was over. Im sure you guys prob do this lil trick or know about it alrdy lol
I got this after watching your video & I LOVE IT! I ended up getting the 4.5 Vienna too & I was afraid it would be too light & too yellow. Even when I put it on I thought it may be too yellow but when I went into natural light to see how it really looked it was perfect! I wear 2C3 Fresco in the Estee Lauder Hydra Rescue for reference if anyone is reading this & trying to figure out shades. This foundation is excellent. It's got such a beautiful finish. I'm having some issues this week with dry patches & breakouts but this stuff jst glided right over it & didn't cling. Sephora had shade Vienna in stock as of a few days ago. I'm not one to run out & buy new foundations, I stick to my same old Estee Lauder but I'm so glad I found your video & got the foundation b/c it is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for your awesome review!
It looks so gorgeous! I’m chomping at the bit for China to change their regulations so that brands like NARS will officially be cruelty free. Until then, I’ll just drool from the sidelines 🤤 😍
It's got to be coming soon. I feel like it's been a year since we heard they were starting to loosen the regulations. I will be SO happy that day! I limit my non-CF buying to highly requested reviews like this but a brand like Nars, or MAC, where I have such great luck with their foundations, I want to buy more from them!
Great review, thx! I’m not sure if you reviewed the Chanel 1 - just wonder how this one compares? Trying to decide which is better for my dry, aging skin.
I'd like to know what you think about the wet and wild hydrator? I also have aging skin I'm actually in my early 50's and I personally find it pretty hydrating for being so inexpensive.
Your eye look is especially beautiful today, Shelly! I love the foundation, too. I can't afford this one, but if you can think of an affordable dupe, I'd love to hear your opinion on that. I spend some time in front of the camera and do most of my reviews outside on the wraparound covered porch so I'm always looking for a great hydrating foundation for my 65 year old skin. Thank you! ~Cynthia
Have you tried the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator? It's one of my all time favorites. I'm also a fan of the L'Oreal True Match Nude and the Age Perfect in the tube.
@@arslongis I have True Skin and I didn't find it as hydrating as I prefer, plus they don't have a great match for me, but I did find that if I put a drop of their Glow Serum into it and add a darker foundation, I can use it. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@goow Yes, I do have the Wet 'n Wild Tinted Hydrator and I like it. I recently found the True Match Nude and it's awesome, plus the Age Perfect serum foundation in the tube. Thank you for the suggestions, all wonderful ones and I am enjoying those. Glad to know they are the dupes I was searching for. In fact, if I could only have two foundations, the Age Perfect Serum in the tube and the True Match Nude would be my choices. Always appreciate your perspectives!
Wow! All that beautiful snow! Here in Texas we’ve got 2 seasons: summer & hot. Closest thing to snow is hail. 🤣😂😅 Also, makeup brush baseball? I want tickets to that! Anyway, another great review! 👍❤️
I just found you channel trying to find someone with dry, mature and LIGHT skin. I hit 40 a couple of years ago and everything just flakes... I have high hopes for this one, but after having bought a couple of complete misses I hope I can get my hands on a tester for this. I also belong to the "ignore the red nose, I am just allergic" group.
Hi Shelly. Thanks so much for this review. I am considering picking this up. I see that this was filmed a while ago, so I’m curious to know with all of the newer foundation releases (e.g, makeup forever, polite society, etc) if this would still be at the very top of your list. Thank you! Evon
The NARS Light Reflecting and the Guerlain Terracotta are basically tied for my absolute number 1 spot (as of July 2024), and a bunch of others are nipping at their heels :) The MUFE Hydra Glow, Polite Society, Haus Labs to name a few other favorites!
Love your review! Have seen some of your foundationreviews, so I know your preferences. I'm not that lucky with Nars foundations, but maybe I should test it out....
Love this review! I just tried this foundation in the very same shade and completely agree that it leans more neutral. I may exchange it for a different shade. Other than that, I love it too! Also love your eye look! It is so pretty! :)
I’m trying this and really enjoy it! Besides looking beautiful it soothes my skin somehow. I’m curious to see if the claim on Sephora holds true that people thought their bare skin looked better after continued use.
Wow!! Impressive. This is stunning on you. I love it. I need to get this. I took your advice with the Makeup Forever Reboot in the past & love that too. Appreciate you.
@@goow I still use it I just mix a little of another brand to bring it one shade lighter. I absolutely love how Reboot looks & performs on my skin. The 225 is just a little too dark for me, but is the perfect color/tone. I wished they’d expand on their lighter shades. If I go lighter than the Y225, the other 2 are too pink for my skin tone. Reboot though looks so natural on me & I don’t even feel it on my skin. I’m wondering if the new Nars will work for me, since you love it so much. 💖
Been waiting to see what you think about this one! But do you own any like it? I wanna hear I dont need it......🙄😁 I do however need a couple of the Flower Beauty products.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your thorough reviews, your charm, and sense of humor. I think we would be friends. Thanks Shelly. I really want this foundation, but I've heard mixed reviews. I think after this review i will.
Yep!! Here in SC I MUST START talking allergy meds on mid February🙄🙄🙄 So BRUTAL! Never had allergies till I hit 40 and moved to the south.😭🤣 Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what color your eyes are?? Blue? Gteen? Hazel? Love the retro palette on your eyes Shelly... Im gonna have to whip mine out now!! So funny how we forget what we have! I have enough makeup to last me, AND my 2 daughters for at least 10 years... Especially Eye shadows.🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣 I need to stop buying!!!! Shelly, is found MAGIC in a tube and its blowing me AWAY with my dry skin!!! Please please please try the One Size Secure the Blur BBB balm!!! OMG!! Im 56 and use retinA and girl I'M SHOOK how it looks and feels!!! LITERAL LITERAL FILTER! Best applied with fingers FYI... Hope you give it a whirl bc its an AMAZING AMAZING SURPRISE!!!!!
I just bought this the other day when my shade came back in stock on Sephora. I’ve been watching to try the two Shiseido foundations and noticed they are owned by Shiseido on the bottom of the bottle. Looks like Nars is owned by shiseido
You are my new lighthouse in the cosmetics world here on RUclips : I have the same skin tone and skin type and am about same age as you ! Thank you for all you amazing videos ! Regards from France 🇫🇷
Hi Shelly! Do you still love the Nars Light Reflecting foundation? I just bought it, but I still to wear a mask at work, so I haven't had a good chance to see how it holds up. Wow, it's so lightweight! I do love that part and the no settling into fine lines is great!! Have you found anything better than Nars?
It is still my number one (now tied with the new Guerlain - but the Nars is a more dewy finish so I'll still wear it a ton! The Guerlain is more matte). I now have 2 shades of the Nars so I can wear it year-round.
Can you PLEASE PLEASE review the Monika Blunder Blunder Cover? It’s supposed to be similar to Salt Sneaky Balm but more coverage, and I’m dying to see someone with similar skin and age as me (like you…) review it.
Yeah, that shade is too dark. You’re a bit lighter and pinker than I am and I found L4 Deauville too dark. I found it for a great deal ($12 for a used-once bottle) on Poshmark but the bottle broke in transit. I’m going to try Gobi next if/when I can find a deal on it. I bet Mont Blanc or Oslo would be perfect for you.
Hi, I have this in the shade Mont Blonc, it’s perfect for my pale skin lol Do you find that you reach for this much? Like you I am a foundation junkie so I just reach for it Among the rotation lol😂 I like it OK but I don’t seek it out just wondering what your thoughts were on it now that’s some time has gone by?
@@goow I used to work at a Bobbi Brown counter 😊✨ I’ve done makeup artistry for 20 years, weddings, proms etc,, I haven’t tried the new BB foundation but I bet it’s wonderful 💓
Please review the Maybelline green line tinted oil foundation (or whatever it’s called) I don’t know how I missed hearing about this until today , but checking out my Local drugstore today (I’m in Toronto 🇨🇦) and it jumped right out at me 😳 they also have a mascara I’m Curious about too. Have u tried either ? Both ? My current face makeup crush is the Missha BB cream 😍😍. Perfect replacement for the purito one they don’t make anymore 😫 So yea, if u could review those two green products that’s been great 👍🏻
How do you like that powder brush? I almost picked it up the other day at target but I was wondering is it worth picking up, is it worth buying do you like it a lot? Thanks
Yes, the foundation looked really good......but I think you might be discounting how much your skin is really helping all of the foundations/bb/skin tints you've been reviewing for the last several months. Cause I gotta say, your skin is looking amazing. Also, your cheekbones look like they could cut glass lately. I've noticed it in the last 2 or 3 videos you've done. As I'm watching I'm trying to decide if it's the shorter hair, the Flower blush/bronzer duo, if you've changed the way you're applying it, etc. Whatever you're doing, keep right on doing it and maybe give yourself some credit for providing a damn near perfect canvas to showcase the makeup. A lot of work has gone into creating that skin.....it's okay to point that out from time to time. Just sayin'.
Most of the schools stop at A now but saying something is A+ has always been a thing. I'll have to ask my mom if we had A+ grades when I was younger. I feel like we did and it was only later that A's stopped having a + option.
Have you ever tried Clé de peau? I’ve been eyeing off the Radiant foundation because Charlotte Holdcroft. It’s so expensive though 😬 Would love to know your thoughts, for science purposes!
Hi Shelly I know you are extremely busy, but I really want to try this foundation, but feel this would be too yellow for me, as like you I have pink undertones. So my question is if you had to choose another shade in this foundation what would it be? I’ve also got my eye on the Nars tinted moisturiser SPF 30 but again not sure which shade to get. Thank you kindly Shelly greetings from then UK
Hi Monica! I have another NARS foundation in shade Light 2 Mont Blanc and it's a smidge too light for me, so this shade Vienna is the next shade darker that has cool undertones. I'd probably get Mont Blanc knowing I'd have to mix it to get a shade match, or be very generous with my bronzer.
Yep - my sunscreen is the last step in my morning skin care, and I usually have at least 30 minutes or so between that and when I get around to doing my makeup, so the sunscreen has set down well by then.
Hi Belinda! I got it in one of my Dia boxes last year. It's by the brand Rainbeau Curves, one of their bomber jackets. I don't see any new online but I see there is one new with tags on Poshmark right now!
I’ve been wearing this all week and loving it. I’m 53 with dryyy skin. It’s the only foundation I have that is a perfect shade match and has coverage despite being so lightweight. And it sets down so I don’t have to powder!
I love seeing Shellie so happy that she sings into her makeup brush. 🎤
You know it’s a good makeup day. 👏👏
😂
A nice finish on this one. I agree, the undertone is definitely not cool toned but rather neutral leaning peach, at least form this side that's how it appears. With that being said, this would be a great summer shade on you. 😊🌞

Yes I was just going to comment the same thing! Wondering your thoughts on the kosas.
Kosas is filmed! Edit is next and it'll be up soon! (Mini spoiler, it's good!!)
Ok, update: I have tried Yukon, the next cool toned shade down. It is much pinker in tone than Vienna, which has more yellow as you noted. I mix Yukon with Deauville to get my shade as I am just a hair cool but mostly neutral. I do love the formula and wear of this foundation though so to me it’s worth it.

I’m trying this and really enjoy it! Besides looking beautiful it soothes my skin somehow. I’m curious to see if the claim on Sephora holds true that people thought their bare skin looked better after continued use.
I just ordered another shade of this for winter :)
Thanks for the closeups Shelly. You have beautiful skin. The snow looks beautiful there. 🌺🦋🌺
Great review Shelley! Luv flower beauty blush n bronzer too.🤗.. Your eye makeup looks BomB!! 😍💋Thx for your videos...👍🏻👍🏻
I've been waiting for this one! This looks amazing on you!
I do adore this Nars, my only gripe is the shades, just wish the shades weren’t as yellow. I always have to buy 2 shades and mix, gets $$
I have had good experiences with Nars in the past, and I am loving this foundation. Another one to try, lol
I was just wondering why I don't buy more Nars. I have had great luck with their foundations.
Ive been waiting for this review. This foundation looks so good on you. I bought it and it is my favorite for sure
Wow. This looked amazing on you. I've seen mixed reviews but dang does this look SOO great on you. Beautiful! 🥰
I’m so happy this worked so well for you. I may have to try it! 💕
Wow!! Impressive. This is stunning on you. I love it. I need to get this. I took your advice with the Makeup Forever Reboot in the past & love that too. Appreciate you.
Reboot is still awesome =D
@@goow I still use it I just mix a little of another brand to bring it one shade lighter. I absolutely love how Reboot looks & performs on my skin. The 225 is just a little too dark for me, but is the perfect color/tone. I wished they’d expand on their lighter shades. If I go lighter than the Y225, the other 2 are too pink for my skin tone. Reboot though looks so natural on me & I don’t even feel it on my skin. I’m wondering if the new Nars will work for me, since you love it so much. 💖
Been waiting to see what you think about this one! But do you own any like it? I wanna hear I dont need it......🙄😁 I do however need a couple of the Flower Beauty products.
Thank you Shelley, I've been looking forward to this one and I will be buying it💖
Sooo glad to hear you like it, think I’m going to have to pick it up!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ooo, well, new foundation time. Seeing lots of loving reviews on this one. Thanks!
This is still soooo good. I'm going back and forth between this one and the Bobbi Brown serum foundation. Gah so good.
I've been waiting for your review on this! I'm trying to decide between this one and the new Chanel 🤔 Man, decisions decisions 🤯
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your thorough reviews, your charm, and sense of humor. I think we would be friends. Thanks Shelly. I really want this foundation, but I've heard mixed reviews. I think after this review i will.
Welcome, Amanda! Here's my master list of foundations if you haven't stumbled upon it yet - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/

Shelly, you get more beautiful with every video. I just adore your personality and appreciate your reviews so much. ✌️& ❤️
That looks so beautiful on you! As you were putting on, I could see a beautiful sheen on your cheekbones.😍 (so glad Nordies had it in stock!!) ❤️
Nordies saves the day more often than I give them credit for!
Looked great one you ! Been waiting to see you review this one :) might have to get it and the new CT one
AWESOME REVIEWS AND TESTS SHELLY!
I just bought this the other day when my shade came back in stock on Sephora. I’ve been watching to try the two Shiseido foundations and noticed they are owned by Shiseido on the bottom of the bottle. Looks like Nars is owned by shiseido
You are my new lighthouse in the cosmetics world here on RUclips : I have the same skin tone and skin type and am about same age as you ! Thank you for all you amazing videos ! Regards from France 🇫🇷
Thanks, Virginie! Welcome and I hope France is treating you well! =D
Thanks so much for your review! 🤩
Yay!!! Been waiting for this 😁
I might be late to the party but I just love your hair!!! Such a cute shade on you!
Thank you!!
I have this one in Mont Blanc. It’s beautiful. Have you tried the new Kosas foundation yet?
I finished filming the Kosas - just need to edit it! It's good!! =D
Shelly!! You ought to try the new NYX concelor. It's a little pricey up here in Canada ($14.99) on sale 😬...but it's well worth it 😃💛
Hi Shelly! Do you still love the Nars Light Reflecting foundation? I just bought it, but I still to wear a mask at work, so I haven't had a good chance to see how it holds up. Wow, it's so lightweight! I do love that part and the no settling into fine lines is great!! Have you found anything better than Nars?
It is still my number one (now tied with the new Guerlain - but the Nars is a more dewy finish so I'll still wear it a ton! The Guerlain is more matte). I now have 2 shades of the Nars so I can wear it year-round.
@@goowwhich two shades? I think we are skin tone matches, thanks
How come I cannot find the name of that big sponge you were using? I love it!
Hi Joyce! It's this one from Elf - with the bottom that does not soak up foundation as much - go.magik.ly/ml/1g90d/
Can you PLEASE PLEASE review the Monika Blunder Blunder Cover? It’s supposed to be similar to Salt Sneaky Balm but more coverage, and I’m dying to see someone with similar skin and age as me (like you…) review it.
It's on the way to me now!
@@goow OMG! Yay! Thank you! You are literally the best.
Love the Red hair on you Shelly. It's your color.
I was hoping you'd review this one! 😊 I haven't tried it yet. It's so nice you wear cool shades at times as they are rare 😁
Did I miss you putting on concealer? I’m looking for a one and done !
Nope - I take this right up under my eyes and use it as concealer too and it's awesome!
About to watch ur video but just wanted to say omg love ur haircut it’s so pretty!
Thanks, hammy!!
Love your reviews!!
Yeah, that shade is too dark. You’re a bit lighter and pinker than I am and I found L4 Deauville too dark. I found it for a great deal ($12 for a used-once bottle) on Poshmark but the bottle broke in transit. I’m going to try Gobi next if/when I can find a deal on it. I bet Mont Blanc or Oslo would be perfect for you.
Rarely do we hear “A” for a foundation….it is pretty. Love the eye colors, too….
I was so hoping that you would review this! We have the same skin tone & I think we are the same age! Great review Shelly 🌸💞
Is this still your number 1 foundation?
Yep! I finally grabbed a summer shade so I can wear it all year :)
Hi, I have this in the shade Mont Blonc, it’s perfect for my pale skin lol
Do you find that you reach for this much? Like you I am a foundation junkie so I just reach for it Among the rotation lol😂
I like it OK but I don’t seek it out just wondering what your thoughts were on it now that’s some time has gone by?
This is one of my new darlings :) On days I'm not testing something new, I'm going back and forth between this and the Bobbi Brown Serum Foundation.
@@goow I used to work at a Bobbi Brown counter 😊✨ I’ve done makeup artistry for 20 years, weddings, proms etc,,
I haven’t tried the new BB foundation but I bet it’s wonderful 💓
Love your video..btw love your hair as well!
Love this video. Thank you
Love that Jacket!! NARS is nice, but too expensive for me!!
Please review the Maybelline green line tinted oil foundation (or whatever it’s called)
I don’t know how I missed hearing about this until today , but checking out my
Local drugstore today (I’m in Toronto 🇨🇦) and it jumped right out at me 😳
they also have a mascara I’m
Curious about too.
Have u tried either ? Both ?
My current face makeup crush is the Missha BB cream 😍😍.
Perfect replacement for the purito one they don’t make anymore 😫
So yea, if u could review those two green products that’s been great 👍🏻
Oooh yes I have the green line foundation here on my messy vanity somewhere!
How do you like that powder brush? I almost picked it up the other day at target but I was wondering is it worth picking up, is it worth buying do you like it a lot? Thanks
I do like it a lot! I'd buy it again.
Yes, the foundation looked really good......but I think you might be discounting how much your skin is really helping all of the foundations/bb/skin tints you've been reviewing for the last several months. Cause I gotta say, your skin is looking amazing. Also, your cheekbones look like they could cut glass lately. I've noticed it in the last 2 or 3 videos you've done. As I'm watching I'm trying to decide if it's the shorter hair, the Flower blush/bronzer duo, if you've changed the way you're applying it, etc. Whatever you're doing, keep right on doing it and maybe give yourself some credit for providing a damn near perfect canvas to showcase the makeup. A lot of work has gone into creating that skin.....it's okay to point that out from time to time. Just sayin'.
You've sold it to me, Shelly! Great review as usual! Do you give A+ marks in the US? We do here in the UK.
Most of the schools stop at A now but saying something is A+ has always been a thing. I'll have to ask my mom if we had A+ grades when I was younger. I feel like we did and it was only later that A's stopped having a + option.
will you be doing a review of the new Kosas foundation?!?
Yep I've got it filmed - just need to edit it! (It's good!!)
Have you ever tried Clé de peau? I’ve been eyeing off the Radiant foundation because Charlotte Holdcroft. It’s so expensive though 😬 Would love to know your thoughts, for science purposes!
Not yet! I nearly faint from the price lol!
Hi Shelly I know you are extremely busy, but I really want to try this foundation, but feel this would be too yellow for me, as like you I have pink undertones. So my question is if you had to choose another shade in this foundation what would it be? I’ve also got my eye on the Nars tinted moisturiser SPF 30 but again not sure which shade to get. Thank you kindly Shelly greetings from then UK
Hi Monica! I have another NARS foundation in shade Light 2 Mont Blanc and it's a smidge too light for me, so this shade Vienna is the next shade darker that has cool undertones. I'd probably get Mont Blanc knowing I'd have to mix it to get a shade match, or be very generous with my bronzer.
Wayne Goss just reviewed this and he’s loving it too!
Too bad it’s freaking $65 here in Canada 😖😖
Holy cow ouch on that price tag!
@@goow and that’s before tax -
We’re looking at 70+ w tax
I can’t! Not for a foundation , it’s not worth that . Sephora is getting out of control
Wow an A! Do you apply the CT cream over your sunscreen as a primer?
Yep - my sunscreen is the last step in my morning skin care, and I usually have at least 30 minutes or so between that and when I get around to doing my makeup, so the sunscreen has set down well by then.
Can I ask you where did you get that jacket? With the floral it’s very pretty 😍
Hi Belinda! I got it in one of my Dia boxes last year. It's by the brand Rainbeau Curves, one of their bomber jackets. I don't see any new online but I see there is one new with tags on Poshmark right now!
@@goow thank you, I will go check it out! 💖
