They all look stunning on you! 🤩 thank you for reviewing them for us!❤
You are so welcome Jacqueline!
This is the best make up explanation video I’ve ever seen. Super informative and you get the points across easily.
Thank you so much Madison! I am so happy it was helpful!
I love this video!! I wish people would round up brands foundations & do this!! Showing real skin real textures!
Glad you loved it Alexis!
This video is amazing!!! Thank you for taking the time to explain each and back up all your research and experience!!!
Aww, thanks! I am glad it was helpful!
Love this review comparing NARS foundations. It was great to see them head to head. I agree they all run yellow. Would have liked your thoughts on the tinted moisturizer. It seems the least yellow. It’s my go to on good skin days.
I love Nars! I absolutely love that you’re doing this!! Sheer glow is probably my all time favorite foundation ever! The radiant one is just okay for me.. I’m still trying to get my use out of it and try to like it more and not have my money wasted haha.
It's such a beautiful foundation; sheer glow. There is definitely a reason everyone seems to love it!
Best Nars review ever! Thank you so much for doing it, helped me a lot!
You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful!
Thank you for such an in depth review! I’m buying Nars for the first time and I think I’ll go with the sheer glow to start. You are amazing ❤
You are so welcome!
This was exactly what I was looking for in terms of a review. Thank you. ❤🙏🏽
You are so welcome...I am glad it was helpful!
Thank you for doing this Mandy, extremely informative/helpful.
Extra bonus was 4 really lovely eye looks 🤗
Thank you so much Alise! I am glad it was helpful!
A video I didn't know I needed. I love nars and I'm trying to decide which I should put in my kit !
I don't think you could go wrong with sheer glow and soft matte...that would cover all ages and skin types.
I have been using the light reflecting formula lately and I love it! I feel like the formula only is glowy when first applied then dries down fairly matte.
Thank you for this video! I tried for years to find a Nars foundation that I like. I finally found one - the Light Reflecting. My biggest issue is shades run so yellow on me. I have found that if I mix in a little Mont Blanc in with Vienna I can tone down the yellow. Then I like it a lot. I was determined to get this to work. This is one of the few foundations that doesn't suck the life out of my skin and turn me into the crypt keeper at the end of the day. All of these look so pretty on you.
Love to hear this Brenda. I am so happy you found one that you love!
I’ve been debating on which one to try for ages and video has helped me decide on the matte. Great video x
So glad it was helpful!
I loved that you applied all of these with your hands as somewhere I missed that application suggestion. I have used NARS a long time and used different ones and never been disappointed with the way they looked or their wear. I do like seeing these all compared as it gives a better idea of how they apply and wear. Thanks 😊
I am so glad this was helpful for you Sue!
Thank you!! Sheer Glow does look the best with the best coverage
Great review 👍 I’ve been wearing the Nars radiant creamy concealer for years but I have never bought their foundation. I generally prefer stick foundations. I have oily combo skin and your review really helped me decipher the differences between the 4 foundations they carry. I was thinking that soft matte would be the only foundation that could work for me since I get really oily on my cheeks, forehead, and chin, but now I’m open to also trying sheer & radiant glow.
Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful for you. The Soft Matte is so insanely gorgeous. I think you will love it!
Hi Mandy, what a fantastic round up of the NARS range of foundations! Thank you so much. I started off with the Sheer Glow but have too deep a shade 😞 Then moved on to Light Reflecting (got the perfect shade, despite oxidation claims). I now fancy trying the Soft Matte, if for no other reason than to slightly dull down the radiance from the LR. Thanks again, Nicci
You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful Nicci!
Hey Mandy. Love these types of videos and I actually ordered 2 of Chantecailles after your video breakdown. I wanted to mention I received the Jane iredale matte and absolutely love it. I'm dry skin but it totally works like you said. I just might get 1 shade darker #7. Can't wait for my mail.. getting The Alastin sunscreen today! Will keep you updated. Thanks for all your hard work on this and all videos. It makes my makeup buying decisions so much easier.
Yay!!!! Love another jane foundation convert! I wore the alastin spf today and I feature it in Friday's video. So so good!! And thank you so much!
I'm so glad your channel popped up! This was a great video! I was testing Nars light reflecting foundation and it looks terrible on my skin after 2 hours. My skin is combo/oily. So I was researching the difference between the other Nars foundation and your video popped up. Lucky me!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this great information. I just turned 50 and my skin is changing. So my makeup needs to change as well. I'm think I'm going to try the Nars soft matte next. Let's see how it goes....
I am so glad it popped up too and that it was helpful! xoxo
I just bought the Soft Matte at the Sephora sale (based on your recommendation). This video will be very helpful in me getting the most out of the foundation. Thanks Mandy!
Yay!! I can't wait to hear what you think about it Linda!
I used it sparingly as you advised. It actually looked better as the day wore on. Looked very good on this 61yr old face! And in Phoenix to boot! Thank you, again Mandy
Am thinking of getting the soft matt, on sale at Sephora you said? I just looked and it's $40 and l can't see a sale going on
@@lindaasemota8279 it’s the spring savings event. If you are a beauty insider you get a certain percentage off through Monday.
Super, super informative, thanks Mandy, think I will go for the Sheer Glow which the makeup artist used on me for my daughter's wedding on 1st March this year !!!!
Yes!! Such a great foundation!
Big fan of NARS so this was a great video for me..dry mature skin the light light reflecting works best for me..even happier 4 days of nude lip combos was the best part ..that’s always the 1st thing I look for .. your lip combo !!!
Awww...thank you so much! I am so glad this was helpful!
Love love love this video! I still go back and watch it. Purchased light reflecting after this for my dry skin and it’s stunning on. I actually had friends purchase it after seeing it on me.
Oh yay! This makes me so happy!
Thank you I've been wanting to try a nar's foundation for quite some time I have mature skin so I'm excited 😁
You are so welcome Sandra. I am glad this was helpful!
Sheer glow é minha favorita da vida💜 mas estou muito curiosa pela nova😃aguardando chegar por aqui...
Nars Sheree glow is the queen 👑 and favourite. It works for most skin types on tones!
I love mixing the Soft Matte and Sheer Glow! It's like the PERFECT foundation. I do 60% Sheer Glow then 40% Soft Matte.
Super helpful video! Loved your suggestions for skin types ❤️
Thank you, and I am so glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for doing this! Incredibly informative!
You are so welcome! I am so happy it was helpful!
Love this! Would love to see other brands too
Thanks so much!
You look amazingly beautiful in ALL of them!!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you SO much for this video! I’m going to buy Sheer Glow based on your review! ❤
You are so welcome...I hope you love it!
Thank you for answering the question I've been trying to figure out for so long. i'm now about to purchase the sheer glow one but first I have to figure out my correct shade
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for your review. I'm combination skin type, and I do get oily around the T-zone so I wanted to see what foundation works the best. I'll try to get the soft matte. you mentioned you can build in with other mixers, and I love that idea. I'm gonna try that out. I'm almost in my 30s so I'm trying to go for more natural finish without looking too cakey, if that makes sense.
You are so welcome! I think you will love the Soft Matte!
Excellent review. Thank you So Much. I was debating between Light Reflecting and Sheer Glow. I don’t use much foundation but I’ve been very happy with NARS Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc. No need to change which is exactly what I needed to decide. You are very beautiful. I just cannot thank you enough. I am 66 , and haven’t noticed any settling into fine lines. Thankfully I’m not very wrinkled , so that helps.
You are so welcome!
Loved this!
Thank you so much for this. We usually are similar shades and I guessed that I was Santa Fe when I just ordered the new Nars foundation so fingers crossed it works
Let me know how it works out for you!
@@MandyDavisMUA the shade is almost spot on! Definitely on the yellow side but I think that means it should work for me in the summer too. Thanks!
I'm buying a foundation for my partner's birthday and, for someone who has never even touched foundation before, this has been extremely educational and informative! Thank you for being quite thorough and explaining all the differences between each product! (I never knew a single brand could carry so many diff types of the same product lmao)
You are so welcome...I am glad it was helpful to you!
thank you so much for your full review! i am so new in high end foundation brands and i am looking for the best so the money that i used for it would be worth it. your review is so informative so helpfull. thank you❤
You are so welcome....I am happy it was helpful!
I love all Nars foundation, especially because I can use my hands to apply them.
Yes! They work so well that way.
Thanks so much dear Mandy and it all looks amazing on you!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 I keep learning from you wow, the best mixing foundation from Nars, that it is better to apply with fingers, wow did not know!!! I had that skin glow foundation but it expired, but really liked it. Now i have the Light Reflecting one, bought shade Vienna instead of Vallouris and that is much better, for the shade than. And i never wear foundation a whole day i must say. I have normal to dry skin, 51 years, but i like my previous foundation, the sheer glow more, i think. I think it's still a bit European😂less dewy/radiant. I really love the glass bottle from Cle de Peau so much, but than the matte one! But hard to find here in Europe. Also love the red tube of Koh Gen Do and most used are my Chantecaille foundations, especially that cushion!!! Loved the video, learned a lot, thank you so much, have an amazing day!!!😘😘😘😘
I am so glad this was helpful! And I still adore that Chantecaille cushion as well!
@@MandyDavisMUA very helpful, thanks again!!!
Your skin is sooo beautiful! You don't even need foundation!
Thank you so much!
Love your reviews!!
Thank you Tiffany!
I love this video, and this type of video. They’re very helpful and interesting.
Glad you like them!
Great video. I’ve been a fan of Nars for years. My favorite foundation is the sheer glow but I do love the light reflective one. Only thing I dislike is the sheer glow doesn’t come with a pump and the others come with such a small pump that it makes me feel like I use half a bottle lol.
LOL...I agree about the pumps for sure!
wow you have GORGEOUS skin!
Thank you!
When you showed your cheeks with and without foundation....you without foundation side is amazing...even w natural blush!
Thank you!
I’ve just taken delivery of the new Nars foundation and applied it with a brush. I’m 67, so mature/vintage skin and was pleased with the result. I’d agree that I don’t feel it on my skin which is a bonus. However, after seeing your demo’s, I’ll try it tomorrow with my sausage fingers 🙄😂. Thanks for the video and the tips.
LOL..I am sure you don't have sausage fingers Maureen, but I am eager to hear how you like that application!
Witch one you like on your mature skin ? Thanks for sharing
@@VickyRyan2018 I prefer the result using a brush. I’ve tried using fingers twice more but for me personally, I like the brush better.
I’m sure your fingers are beautiful thanks so much for your helpful review 67-2
thank you so much for your video loved it.. I might have to get the sheer glow now. I have the radiant and the light reflecting ones. I wonder how they would mix 😁
It's definitely worth a try. I love to mix foundations, and have found some of my faves that way.
I only ever tried the light reflecting and the longwear foundations by Nars and I love them both for their different finishes on my mature combo oily skin. The light reflecting I have to set with powder and it lasts pretty well and doesn’t get too oily if set well. Both don’t settle in my lines, but I don’t use a lot of product either.
Glad you love them!
I've not purchased many Nars products, except for their blushes. I did purchase the tinted sunscreen last year, and wasn't impressed, so I've steered clear of their foundations. If I did decide to take a chance on one, I think the Natural Radiant would be my choice. Even with my dry, mature skin, because I like fuller coverage.
I think you will be super happy with it if you decide to give it a chance. :)
This was so informative. New subscriber! Love your work.
Thank you so much!
Loved this video!
Thank you!!
Dang this was a good one and VERY helpful!!! Wow!
So glad you found it helpful Rebecca!
Soft matte was the best omg I’m buying 😢😍😍😍
This video is incredibly informative and thorough. Thank you for this!
You are so welcome. I am glad it was helpful!
This was so helpful. With your advice, I mixed the Soft Matte in Deauville and MAC Face and Body in C2 and it provided a natural medium coverage semi-matte finish, which I liked. I'm gonna keep playing with it as a mixing medium.
I also want to add that I can use Santa Fe and Patagonia in Sheer Glow, but when it comes to every other foundation in the lineup, Santa Fe and Patagonia are too dark for me, and I have to use Deauville instead. Deauville in Sheer Glow is too light for me. I feel like the shades in Sheer Glow run lighter with more neutral undertones. With the other foundations in the lineup, they're noticeably deeper and vary a lot more in undertone.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best review/comparison I have ever seen! I love Nars foundations and I was just about to purchase the light reflecting foundation and this video has changed my mind. I have combination (normal with oily t-zone) skin so I usually get the radiant long wear foundation as it sets well with powder. I have tried the soft matte it weirdly looked cakey on my skin but judging from this review it’s because I used too much product and blended with a sponge. I might try the sheer glow foundation after watching this video but still not sure as I don’t like the glowwy look that much! Definitely going to give the soft matte another try and use the finger dabbing technique you advised. Thanks for the tips, such a great video 😊
You are so very welcome! I would love to hear how everything works out when you try them out. xoxo
Found the “4 in 1” video really helpful - especially with the same products being used after applying the foundation,
to finish your look. Lots of information to help make a decision. Thanks lots. ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
This video was so helpful!
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Thanks very helpful to choose foundation
Absoulutely love your eyeshadow stylish taste look splendid
Thank you so much!!
New to Nars foundation so this is really helpful.
So glad it was helpful!
Made my first two purchases today. Foundation and concealer.
Your skin is beautiful! Xx
Thank you so much!
This video was so useful.👏🏻
I am so glad...thank you!
I really appreciate this rundown of them all!
So glad it was helpful Kristin!
The soft matte looks the most smoothing in my opinion, I’m a glowy foundation type of girl but I’m considering soft matte because I feel it kinda gives a glam look
It definitely does, and can be made a bit more glowy with primers and highlights. xoxo
I mean, wouldn’t any foundation look great on your gorgeous skin? 🤩
Thank you Brandi! I have definitely had some that look pretty bad. lol
Thank you for this video. I got the "Light Reflecting" version as a 1st time Nars foundation user. I've got semi-dry mature skin and this LR foundation applies like melted butter, super light, then oxidizes 1 shade in a few minutes. I don't see any light reflection, just light coverage w/ nice moisture.
You are so welcome!
😊 Thanks for giving a descriptive video😊
Hi, which one oxidise more in all of them ? Love ur review 💓
The best typ ever! I didn't understand why the soft matte wasn't looking so good with brush or sponge, i squeeze once and i do my entire face with my fingers and then just tap with a sponge and wears absolutely gorgeous all day long, is pore minimizing very smooth looking !
Glad you are loving it now!!
Santa Fe is your exact match. Thanks for that ❤
You are so welcome!
I have radiant and like it but looking for another look I’m combo skin. I’m trying light reflecting one so far I’m undecided 🤷♀️ do want to try matte too. Like radiant’s level of coverage but think light one looks more natural
I’ve always loved sheer glow. I like the new one but seem to go back to sheer glow
It's SOOO good!
I love this video. I have the soft matte I live in the Caribbean and have combo skin. I always wanted to try the natural Adrian to but wondered how it will work in this temp. I think temperature is also a good factor to consider
Thank you so much Jamilia! I definitely think the soft matte would work better in your climate.
@@MandyDavisMUA thank you very much. I feel so too!
The best video! Thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Mandy, I have tried the Nars light reflecting a couple of times , but can’t seem to find my correct shade. The Ulta sales girls seem to have no idea on how to shade match. The Santa Fe is too yellow and maybe a half shade too dark. Do you know their shades well enough to suggest one that my work. I normally tend to use neutral shades or warm in brands that aren’t so yellow. Thanks. You look beautiful in whatever you wear. Your skin is beautiful and that is what is important.
I just ordered sheer glow and instantly loved it, and I only wore Estée Lauder DW. 😂 of course the longevity is not there but I’m ok with that. It looks great long enough 😊
So glad you love it! I get great longevity with Sheer Glow.
Oh my goodness, I just found your channel and I am so happy I did! Are you in TN?
I am so happy you did too! Yes I am in Tennessee...born and raised.
Ahh! The perfect video today! I am planning on ordering a nars foundation with the vib sale, and I am confused about which one (s) to try! I have sample of the matte one and love it. I want also to try the new one. I am curious if the color names translate well between the different foundations. Thanks again for your video and for sharing your incredible knowledge. On another note - so sorry for the stress with the wind. I live in the midwest and SO understand. I am usually a wreck from spring to late fall with the storms, watches, and warnings. Hope you and your beautiful family stay well. xoxo
You are so welcome! Yes girl...I will never not get stressed out with the wind. We are planning on building a barn soon, and a storm shelter is going in it. I can't wait for that, because there is so many open spaces in our house and not many places to go. And thank you!
@@MandyDavisMUA Thanks for your reply! Glad to hear you will build a storm shelter. That will give you some peace of mind. I bought my house because it has a bomb shelter in the basement that was built in the 1960’s which of course is perfect for my storm phobia! 😂 Just make sure to leave room for Zeus in your shelter design! 🦮 Take care, xoxo
@@juliannam9521 That’s awesome! Oh, rest assured…we won’t use it if it won’t fit Zeus. 😉
@@MandyDavisMUA Thanks for your reply! Just wanted to quickly add that I great up in Knoxville, TN and went to UT Knoxville - so we are both TN girls! :) xoxoxo stay safe -
You have such beautiful skin, lucky lady.
I would like to see the video like this on channel foundations .
I m more interested in a foundation which is made it through to ur kit . Cuz those r more trusted and never failed foundation and works on everyone.
I m not interested at all what looks good on you…. trust me if u do ur make with crayon you would still look beautiful 🥰
It's hard to do a review on a foundation without doing a demo as most people like to see what it looks like on the skin, so I don't think I will be able to do one without it. Sorry you aren't interested in that part. Have a great day.
Thanks so much for posting this review Mady! I'm waiting on my sheer glow to come in the mail and I'm a first time nars foundation girl so I was curious about how it will wear.
May I ask what eyeshadow pallette did you use to get that finished pink ombre look??
You are so welcome! I am wearing all the makeup that is listed under the Light Reflecting Day in the intro and outro. They are actually blush/shadows from Fit Glow Beauty. xoxo
Great review!! Would you share the shades you use in your kit?? Thank you 😊
Ops, disregard, just found where you listed you used the Supergoop Mattescreen. 👍🏻🥰
Annnnnnd I think your natural skin is the BEST, next to all these foundations!!
Thank you!
Hi Mandy! This is an amazing review! I’ve been searching for a comprehensive review on NARS foundations so thank you for this video! I have oily skin but prefer a natural finish (slight glow). Would you recommend mixing the soft matte and natural radiant? I still wear a mask. Do you think those two are best for masks and long wear?
The natural radiant isn't one that I would recommend if you are looking for transfer proof. I would definitely go with the soft matte for that, and if you want to thin it down, you could mix in a moisturizer. Hope this helps!
I was using the soft matte formula for a long time, during the winter and spring. Well once I went to a wedding when it was over 90 degrees and I realized it was not holding up well! So I don’t use it anymore in the summer heat.
So strange...it's the one I trust the most to hold up well in high heat, especially for all day weddings, but I know all skin is different.
Hi Mandy, this is such an informative video! Which foundation would you say oxidizes the most? Also, how do you get your skin so glowy and smooth? There's not a blemish or sun spot in sight 😀
You are so sweet. I spend lots of time and $$ on skincare and do my best to eat clean and exercise a lot. And let's not forget genetics. They play a big role. As far as oxidation, I don't have a huge issue with any of them, but I would probably say the Light Reflecting would get my vote.
I hope I’m able to pick a good shade online
I’ve been wanting to buy a nars foundation for a long long time
Thank you for the video! Do you have any recommendations on other foundations that are the same shade?
Do you mean other foundations that also work for my skintone? I have lots and lots of fave foundation videos on my channel if you search. I have many that I love. :)
Thanks so much for this! I was wondering what you would recommend as I have dry skin. I’ve heard that light reflecting clings to dry patches on some people and the shop assistant said that sheer glow is getting discontinued soon so I shouldn’t get it 😭 now I’m confused bc I do want coverage and he recommended light reflecting
I wish people would stop spreading it was being discontinued; especially people that work for the brand. LOL I have heard that from many people, and I reached out to NARS and they reassured me that it is here to stay. I would highly recommend that one!
Mandy thank you! What’s your recommendation when it comes to color matching to choose the right shade? If my face and neck have different tones… my face is paler than the neck. Should I choose the color to match my pale face and then build dimension with bronzer, blush, etc? Thank you!!
I always like to match my clients on their chest....the neck is always lighter since our chin tends to save us a bit from the sun there, and if you exfoliate, cleanse your face often, your face will be even lighter sometimes. So, to ensure the foundation matches the rest of the body, I blend it into the upper chest, and whatever disappears is a great match. Then, I make sure I bring the foundation down the neck and everything is one shade!
@@MandyDavisMUA Mandy!! I really appreciate your answer!! Will definitely take this into account 🤩
Great content and timely. I'm trying to decide on a Nars foundation. Did you use sunscreen under each foundation? If so, what did you use? Thanks! You look beautiful!
Thank you Lisa!!! xoxo
she said she used the supergoop matte sunscreen!
Hi Mandy I am wondering how the Nars new light reflecting compares to the Lisa Eldridge? I love the LE but it’s expensive with shipping to Canada.
I prefer the wear of the LE on me. It doesn't get as glowy and it pretty bulletproof. But, with your shipping situation, it may be worth getting a sample of the NARS.
I have the sheer glow and since a few days the light reflection one. My skin is pretty dry and I don't have to powder it. Just between my eyebrows and my chin (rosacea more oily) the foundation looks weird. Like these white little dots...this may sound stupid but is that how you would describe foundation Breaking up? Maybe I can buy the matte one to blend for my chin area. BTW you looked so beautiful with your whole look! I'm really lazy lately with eyeshadows and you motivated me 😀
Thank you so much!!! It could be breaking up due to skincare underneath as well. Sometimes some products don't mix, but I think you will love the matte one for that...it's such a long lasting performer!
@@MandyDavisMUA will definitely check that one out! I played some more with it and the trick for me is to spray some Mac fix on my fingers and tap the area and it looks smoothless 😀.
I got a sample of the newest light reflecting NARS foundation and it was horrible. I’m 48, have normal to dry skin, and live in a dry climate. It did not wear well at all. It got so luminous to the point of oily looking on my forehead, nose and cheeks, while it got dry, even flaking up on my chin and sides of my nose. It was so awful looking. I’ve never had a foundation do this before. I saw Jamie Paige’s review of it and the same thing happened to her. Huge areas lifting up and crackling while other areas so oily.
Aww man! Sorry you had that experience Erin! It's definitely the most finicky of the bunch for me.
I usually get Santa Fe on all nars foundation but the color was so light!!! I could not wear that, I had to get a vanatu which is medium 3.5. First foundation I don’t use your same color.
I am glad you were able to find the right shade for you.
