Love how honest your reviews are! That close up is so necessary. Too often people review a product with filters and beauty lights which makes any foundation look flawless.
This foundation is EXCELLENT for Asian skin. Since this was created ive been very happy! Excellent blend the orangey tones compliment our olive skin and it comes out clear with great coverage, blends really well and gives it a bright finish on your skin. If I use rimmel for example it will make my skin look grey because I'm Indian whereas it might work wonders on someone who is more fair skinned. When I wear loreal it doesnt do nothing for me either especially under the eyes. So each foundation is different and Nars is great for Asian skin tones! Fact- its an excellent foundation.
Maybe it’s just me but I think it still looked pretty damn good after you had worn it for 14-15 hours. I feel like it’s unrealistic to expect your foundation to be 100% perfect by the end of the day. Companies shouldn’t claim their products are transfer-proof/resistant, but consumers should also have realistic expectations too. As long as you don’t look like a wreck after 8 hours I’d call it a win.
I think you should try it without any primer as many time longwear foundations adhere better to un-primed skin. Sometimes the silicone in a primer can make some foundations transfer. Just worth a try.
I have pretty normal to combination skin and I love how this foundation looks on me! I use it with the nars primer, nars concealer and nars setting powder and these products work super well together. The only complaint I have is that I’m a ballet dancer which means I sweat a lot during the day and if I don’t put enough powder, the foundation will definitely transfer when I touch my face. But if I put enough powder it’s usually fine. Overall I really love this foundation but I know we have completely different skin types❤️
How this is a true review!! A whole ballet dancer!! Not just running errands but your sweating and by saying the powder works together makes me want to buy it
I tried this foundation before I watched your review and wanted to watch people's reviews to see if anyone had the same experience I did! And you are the only one so far that has been honest! I have oily combination skin and even after 2 hours, it started looking cakey and separated so horribly on me! I never usually comment but I was so shocked how much it separated on me and how terrible it looked on my skin after only a couple hours, even though RUclipsrs have been saying how amazing it is.So just wanted to say thank you for being honest and that I definitely had the same experience.
The fact that you reviewed this foundation 3 different times, 3 different ways/primers, etc makes me smile! These are the kinds of reviews I like to see here. Thank you for your time b/c I feel like I have a true and complete idea as to how this foundation might work! Keep this up!!
I don't comment alot. I have opposite skin you, (I'm old, dry, and lots of sun damage) but I watch every video because I just love your personality and honesty. I had to comment because your smokey eye in day 3 was STUNNING! Can we please have an tutorial on this, I honestly am pretty intimidated to try on my own.
I don't bother with foundations that say they work for all skin types because I know it doesn't include oily and it'll just waste my time and money and most likely contain too much moisture to work for the other skin types it's supposed to work for
Sly Foxx I agree and it isn't fair. I've tried wearing no foundation while out all day and I still get shiny but it as bad I've tried wearing a thinner layer of liquid foundation that didn't work I've tried different primers still nothing . Even with powder foundation I still get oily, I think it might be my skin care regime it has to be
Sly Foxx lmaooooo are you kidding me? It's 1000000x times harder to find a foundation for someone with dry, flaky skin. Every fucking foundation is geared towards oily and combination skin these days. Literally, the ONLY foundation that works for me and doesn't accentuate texture, because yes, boo boo, most foundation geared towards dry and mature skin settles into every fine line and makes pores look the size of Kim kardashians ass. Thank you Nars, coming in clutch for the rest of us dry ladies! 🙌🏻
Girllll I'm so with you. When I tried it on it looked beautiful for the first hour then after it just broke down on my face and was transferring everywhere. I was sooo disappointed with it!
I'm heart broken!!! I will get shade match & get a sample. Thank u for testing out foundations for 12hrs. I hate watching review videos of foundations being tested for 4-6hrs at home. Some of us do work long hours & commute, run errands & do house chores with 4hrs of sleep.
I'm glad I did not purchase Nars Radiant Foundation. I tried a sample of it along w the concealer from the same brand and I must say I am not fan either. My skin is combo (dry /oily t zone). It enhanced every pore and fine line of my face. I'll keep using my Loreal 24 Hr Fresh Wear, which is way more affordable plus I can grab it easily at the drugstore.
I love that you try it out for multiple days! One day is not enough in my opinion! You could be having an off skin day or Using the wrong primer... or tons of other scenarios. Trying it out more then once to get an honest feel for if you like it or not is the true test. Thank you for taking the time to do that for us!
I love how close you get to the camera in your videos!! Most of the time you'll hear " oh let me zoom you in" and they're still like a foot away!! Thank you for getting in there for us! Love it!
Since it actually specifies to apply it with your fingers, I think I would try that with a NARS primer, using the "one pump at a time". Maybe the warmth is what is needed to get it to really melt into the skin?
Just a thought that actually came from some Living Proof hair mousse that requires heat to get the best hold and volume. Plus..I know using only one pump at a time would drive me nuts!! It seems like it would take so much longer to apply. Hate that it did not work out for you! FYI...I am LOVING my Nikkia Rose Setting Spray and I can not WAIT for my lashes to get here!!! Thanks for all the great info, esp. from one ER nurse to another who knows what running a code will do to some makeup, no matter how little you put on!! 🎄❤️
Hey Nikkia! I’m one of those loyal subscribers that never comment but wanted to let you know that your content has improved so incredibly much and the close ups you do with absolutely no filter is truly refreshing! Whatever camera you are using DONT switch it up, I haven’t seen a video look this “real life” in such a long time! Even though some of us don’t comment and interact just know we love you and support you SOOO much!💕
I’ve been deciding if I should get this foundation or not, but now that I’ve seen you do a review on it it makes my answer official. Love watching your videos because not everyone in the makeup industry tells us how their skin is and if it’s textured. Your honesty is everything, love youuuu❤️
I had the same experience with this foundation. I have combo skin. It separated badly, especially on my nose and chin. It emphasizes dry areas and smile lines, and made me look older.
Girls, hope my sharing will be helpful for my oily skin girls out there. I had Nars Aqua Luminious and it lasts all day! Transferproof and waterproof, but at first I quite hesitate because it does feel oily in texture. Im afraid that my skin will looks like a grease ball. And then, a few months ago, I bought the new one, Nars Radiant and it transfers everywhere! Mousse texture, not runny at all, I thought it will be much better than the Aqua. So I tried mix it with my face oil. And suprisingly, it stays all day! It doesnt budge at all. And my skin stays fresh and natural for more than 6 hours. Now, I use oil as my moisturiser and primer. Our skin produce more oils because it is dehyrated, thus face oil helps in lessen the oil production and keep our skin hydrated. It works well for my oily skin.
I love that you're being so honest with this review. I bought this foundation with the promise of transferproof. It transfer a lot. And expensive! Such a let down. Thank you for always giving honest reviews!
The thing is when a found doesn't work for you I know its going to work wonderfully for me because I am dry af. Your reviews help me so much even though you have oily skin. Thank you doll.
I have incredibly oily skin and I adore this foundation! I use the NYX angel veil primer or the Too Faced Hangover primer and it looks amazing for hours
After 30 years as a makeup artist, I've tried a few foundations; this is my favourite accompanied by the NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder.... Perfection.
I love your foundation reviews, I don't buy any foundations until I see your review on them. I love how you're not afraid to zoom in and show your true skin without filters so we know how it actually reacts. Love your day 3 eyeshadow, tutorial soon please?
I am oily no combo and I love this foundation. I use the too face sweet peachy matte primer... I set it was my MAC powder and it’s been 10 hours and my face looks good. Yes, I had oil come through around hour 6 but I looked hydrated not oily and greasy. I recommend a good primer and setting spray if you are oily like me. YES, I am oily but I don’t always want to look matte and boring. I hope this helps someone because the foundation is really beautiful.
I have this foundation and I found from other reviews as well that this foundation works better on dry skin as it’s more prone to transferring. If you have oily skin it will just cause the foundation to seperate and transfer 😢
I can really trust you for a foundation review. I have the same oily skin and the new foundation from Meybelline you reviewed a while is becoming my fave!
I absolutely loved this review.... not because of the foundation. ... per say.... but because I find you to be absolutely HYSTERICAL 🤣. I’m definitely subscribing lol
I have dry/combination skin. I tried this foundation and it looked so good on my face but I have to say that you have to apply it little by little or it will get cakey. The foundation looked better with a buffing brush but overall I think this foundation is great! I guess people have different opinions🤷🏻♀️
I love this foundation! It didn’t get oily on me at all and I didn’t need to keep layering it like you’re doing. I have acne prone skin and lots to cover too. I guess everyone’s different 🤷♀️
Nikkia, I purchased it on Sat. along with the primer, wore it for a week & returned it the following Sat. It did the same thing on me. Seperated, got oily, got all over my glasses & I even got a pimple. I really wanted to love this.
This foundation literally applied so beautifully for about 1.5 hours.. 3 hours in, and my face got soo dry/ashy, it separated on my skin and clung to dry patches that i didnt even know i had. Ill stick to my Lancome.
I have dry skin and I love this foundation. I love to apply this best with a brush, my makeup stays on for the whole day. It does not emphasize my dry patches, I really love this product and I dont use primers when applying this. Although, I do say that it does transfer however I dont really set my face with powder.
that nail polish is the epitome of elegance, with respect to the foundation I'm willing to give it a go because it looked like a dream when you first applied it
All nars foundations are meant to be applied with fingers which is why it says specifically on their website. If the pigment spheres are not broken down with the warmth of your fingers and if you apply too much product it will break apart and separate. Which is why it did that. A beauty blender will cause that after a few hours.
I did not get on with this foundation for all the same reasons as Nikkia but I tried the new natural radiant cushion foundation and it does all the things that this one claims to do. It is amazing.
Never clicked so fast on a video lol I’ve been waiting for you to review this foundation 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I love you and your reviews!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You look like a college student without your makeup on, you are so pretty. Great review yet again, thank you so much! The smoky eye on the third day - WHOAH - gorgeous!
Heidi Aguilar no they just add ingredients meant for the specific formula.. any long wear foundation should be fine for oily skin , yet with normal to dry , we need more Radiance & hydrating ingredients.. I just got this and have normal to dry , it did Cling bit but I didn't get oily at all . Ima try it with less prouduct .. fave right now for my skintype is Tarte Rainforest.
I love your foundation reviews! I have oily skin and as soon I'm looking at buying a foundation I come to your Chanel to see if your have any reviews on it! They are so helpful and your very honest! It's a win win!!
Such a pity about the NARS foundation, I love their products. What I really loved was your eyeshadow on day 3, what were you wearing? So want to copy that look, thank you for reviews.
Jetta Justinian this is their best most natural looking foundation. I would say it's a solid dupe for luminous silk foundation. As a makeup artist I would say but it if you want a natural finish of foundation that will hide your imperfections. If you want the fake beauty guru look this product is not for you!
I was excited to buy this and test it....unfortunately I have the same opinions as your self! Initial application is absolutely beautiful and looks amazing on skin. After 4-6 hours, my skin becomes really oily! How does the nars sheer glow foundation differ from this?
I got a sample and THANK GOODNESS I DID! I have oily skin as well and foundation has always been a problem for me to wear all day. I had the same issues, after a work day the foundation was breaking up around my mouth and nose. So far none has surpassed my double wear but close to taking its place has been Fenty and Laura Mercier's new foundation.
Finally, someone with oily/combo skin that does honest af reviews. A lot of other gurus have normal skin and its just not always the best for me to rush and buy a foundation that works beautifully for skin that isn't like my own. I have a huge issue with foundation wearing off my nose. (': I wanted this foundation, but I think I'll pass.
I legit finished my Fenty this morning and was looking to try this foundation for a different finish. Thank goodness I checked in with you. If it’s a no for Nikkias skin it’s a HELLA fat NO for mine.
Cats Cats fenty in my Opinion is better than Estee Lauder . You get the flawless finish and matteness without the heaviness thickness that double wear has .
Do you think perhaps that the products you use on top of the foundation are the cause for those problems? Loved the eye looks from day 1 and 2 . what products did you use?
I just discovered your channel and I am SO happy I did. Finally a beauty guru that doesn’t add a blurring filter while showing us how the foundation sits on the skin. I really appreciate it. Subbbbed. 💞
Nikkia, have you reviewed the Makeup Forever Ultra HD foundation stick? I can’t seem to find a video on it and you’re the one I trust when it comes to oily skin. 💗
cathy this is the foundation I use. I put it on at 7.30am and take it off at around 9pm and it still looks amazing so I would love to see her review as well. It's my go to foundation. It's amazing
Nikkia would this foundation be nice for somebody who isn't planning on wearing it for a huge amount of time? It looked lovely when you first applied it and I don't tend to wear makeup for more than 8 hours, so do you think I would be okay to get this one? x
Hi! Did you tried it without primer? Although I'm 47 I have super oily skin and my favorite foundation ever is chanel perfection lumière velvet. This one doesn't work with primer, but stays matte all day long. Just a suggestion... 😊
I actually like this foundation a lot! I think its meant more for dry skin because i have super dry skin and it looks good all day. Also, do you wear setting spray? Because that could be a problem too.
Thanks Marcella😍 All the lashes in this video are from my own line Nikkia Joy Cosmetics😍 On day 1 & 2 I’m wearing the 2nd style from the volume set multipack and on day 3 I’m wearing the Zahrah lash. I’ve linked them in the description bar xxx
I wonder if it would work better for dry skin types, even though is advertised for oily skin. Nevertheless, it’s a hard pass for me. A foundation with such high price tag that claims to be transfer proof and comes off that easily? Oh hell no. Thank you Nikkia for the review and saving us the 💰 Also Nars used to be cruelty free and now they’re not anymore just to make more money with the Chinese market. One thing is changing for better, but changing for worst (bad practices and bad overpriced products) is not acceptable.
Florecita Do you think that maybe didn't work well because it was too much product? I mean, not that i should work badly, but they say on the package that i might crease with too much product
Ana Luísa Videgoi - it could be, but in general, a product should relatively work independently of the amount, cause no every person applies makeup in the same way. Some people also need more coverage than others. I normally stay away of finicky products that their use is hard to control.
Other people have tried this foundation with the NARS primer. I’ve heard that there can be primer compatibility issues with NARS foundations. Have you tried wearing the foundation again over the matching NARS primer? I’m curious to see how it would work with oily skin if you did. That might affect the wear as I doubt NARS tests the foundation using primers from their competitors.
1st happy new year. 2nd thankyou for your channel--absolutely every tip you provide solves a problem for me and I cant thank you enough--the best thing that ever happened to me was the mixing of cover fx custom enhancer drops with Double wear--OMG! longwear glowy!! 3rd. by any chance have you tried mixing the Nars with the DW? ive noticed that Nars gives a smoother finish but definitely not as longwear...trying to decide whether to keep it still. xoxxo wishing you much joy in the coming year
FIRST OF NIKKIA...I FREAKING LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR EYELASHES!! I wore them Sat. They were light feeling...like my own. Eyes didnt water, but the quality and beauty are better then lilly lashes, tarte and even MAC!! And the whispieness and length were amazing wore them All day and night!! Thank you so much!! I got tons and tons of compliments. I know i love your opinions...no bs..etc you know ive said b4. Im just saying you out did yourself on this one!!
What a shame! The initial application looked great... until you zoomed in! Oh and by the way... I’m having to wear sunglasses 😎 when I watch now... 🕶 Diamond 💎 Blindness! Haha! Merry Christmas!!
I’ve only just realised that you are also a paramedic! I’m a technician (EMT to the rest of the world!) and have been looking for honest reviews of makeup that will last through my crazy job and 14 hour shifts! New subscriber here!
Really love that you zoom into your skin to show the skin without filters/airbrushing😗 Going to be watching out for more of your foundation reviews - Beautiful😍
Love how honest your reviews are! That close up is so necessary. Too often people review a product with filters and beauty lights which makes any foundation look flawless.
This foundation is EXCELLENT for Asian skin. Since this was created ive been very happy! Excellent blend the orangey tones compliment our olive skin and it comes out clear with great coverage, blends really well and gives it a bright finish on your skin. If I use rimmel for example it will make my skin look grey because I'm Indian whereas it might work wonders on someone who is more fair skinned. When I wear loreal it doesnt do nothing for me either especially under the eyes. So each foundation is different and Nars is great for Asian skin tones! Fact- its an excellent foundation.
Thank you. I am Asian and it gets really hard to
Find suitable foundation for me. Will try that out
Maybe it’s just me but I think it still looked pretty damn good after you had worn it for 14-15 hours. I feel like it’s unrealistic to expect your foundation to be 100% perfect by the end of the day. Companies shouldn’t claim their products are transfer-proof/resistant, but consumers should also have realistic expectations too. As long as you don’t look like a wreck after 8 hours I’d call it a win.
Yeah I agree. I'm a MUA and I always stay safe to 8hrs and even then I touch up because I'm oily.
I think you should try it without any primer as many time longwear foundations adhere better to un-primed skin. Sometimes the silicone in a primer can make some foundations transfer. Just worth a try.
I've noticed this problem with this exact foundation. SO much better without primer
It still transfers without a primer if you’re oily
I agree
I gave up on primers really. I just purchased it so I’m going to test it without to see if that’s any better.
NARS recommends wearing this foundation without primer and warming it up (that's why you use fingers)
I have dry skin and I LOVE this foundation. It has become my absolute fav!
I have pretty normal to combination skin and I love how this foundation looks on me! I use it with the nars primer, nars concealer and nars setting powder and these products work super well together. The only complaint I have is that I’m a ballet dancer which means I sweat a lot during the day and if I don’t put enough powder, the foundation will definitely transfer when I touch my face. But if I put enough powder it’s usually fine. Overall I really love this foundation but I know we have completely different skin types❤️
How this is a true review!! A whole ballet dancer!! Not just running errands but your sweating and by saying the powder works together makes me want to buy it
This is actually my FAVORITE foundation ever ! But everyone’s skin is different!
Briana05 what is your skin type?
Can you please tell me the shelf life of it?
Nilay Benli dry!
kainat tariq tbh I’m not sure! Maybe a year??
It’s my favorite too! And I also I have dry skin. Looks amazing in person as well in pictures ♥️
I tried this foundation before I watched your review and wanted to watch people's reviews to see if anyone had the same experience I did! And you are the only one so far that has been honest!

I never usually comment but I was so shocked how much it separated on me and how terrible it looked on my skin after only a couple hours, even though RUclipsrs have been saying how amazing it is.So just wanted to say thank you for being honest and that I definitely had the same experience.
The fact that you reviewed this foundation 3 different times, 3 different ways/primers, etc makes me smile! These are the kinds of reviews I like to see here. Thank you for your time b/c I feel like I have a true and complete idea as to how this foundation might work! Keep this up!!
I don't comment alot. I have opposite skin you, (I'm old, dry, and lots of sun damage) but I watch every video because I just love your personality and honesty. I had to comment because your smokey eye in day 3 was STUNNING! Can we please have an tutorial on this, I honestly am pretty intimidated to try on my own.
Aww thank you so much! Such kind words!❤️and yes I have a tutorial on it coming xx
Nikkia Joy yaaaay 😍 I loved that smokey eyes too 💕
I don't bother with foundations that say they work for all skin types because I know it doesn't include oily and it'll just waste my time and money and most likely contain too much moisture to work for the other skin types it's supposed to work for
Kat Lee Same except mine is really dry. I feel like those foundations are for people with already perfect skin.
Sly Foxx I agree and it isn't fair. I've tried wearing no foundation while out all day and I still get shiny but it as bad I've tried wearing a thinner layer of liquid foundation that didn't work I've tried different primers still nothing . Even with powder foundation I still get oily, I think it might be my skin care regime it has to be
Exactly! I dont see the point of this video to be honest. Why not challenge brands who claim that their are for Oily Skin types???
Sly Foxx lmaooooo are you kidding me? It's 1000000x times harder to find a foundation for someone with dry, flaky skin. Every fucking foundation is geared towards oily and combination skin these days. Literally, the ONLY foundation that works for me and doesn't accentuate texture, because yes, boo boo, most foundation geared towards dry and mature skin settles into every fine line and makes pores look the size of Kim kardashians ass.

Your foundation reviews are by far the most thorough i’ve seen compared to other channels! Love it!! Im obsessed with foundations ♥️♥️
I’m so glad you enjoy them and find them helpful 😍😍😍
Also your tutorials are the best, you don't edit parts, you get close up and use realistic priced products.
I’m so glad you enjoy them😍😍
Girllll I'm so with you. When I tried it on it looked beautiful for the first hour then after it just broke down on my face and was transferring everywhere. I was sooo disappointed with it!
I love that you don’t just do one day wear test. I think the way you do it is the best way possible. Xoxoxo
I feel like your foundation is a bit too yellow for you, just from the video, I think you have more pinkier undertones
Yes... She said that at 3:50 😁
@@audreymoyers635 Ik 😂 that what I was about to say to them
I'm heart broken!!! I will get shade match & get a sample. Thank u for testing out foundations for 12hrs. I hate watching review videos of foundations being tested for 4-6hrs at home. Some of us do work long hours & commute, run errands & do house chores with 4hrs of sleep.
Wendy Ava the wrost reviews are the one when the person puts the foundation on then ends the video with zero updates after.
Why don't you do a day with no primer instead of a product you hate?
I think it's because she has such oily skin and large pores.
I really didn’t get the try she did with a product she hated since the product looks bad and then the foundation on top would make it worss
The 3 day test for foundation is the best idea ever. I'll sit this one out. Thanks.
I think it shows a much better picture of how a product performs🙌🏼
I'm glad I did not purchase Nars Radiant Foundation. I tried a sample of it along w the concealer from the same brand and I must say I am not fan either. My skin is combo (dry /oily t zone).

I love your hard work and dedication to your viewers! You are sooo informative and honest and that's why I continue to support your channel💕💕💕
This foundation literally applied so beautifully for about 1.5 hours.. 3 hours in, and my face got soo dry/ashy, it separated on my skin and clung to dry patches that i didnt even know i had. Ill stick to my Lancome.
Ye I fell soo too. Nars only eyeshadow remain long time .. even do lipstick is go away soon
is there ANY foundation that lasts perfectly for 10-16h?
I recommend Estée Lauder .. it’s holy …. Nars go away soon
Really appreciate how close you get to the camera! Your foundation reviews are second to none!
When it comes to foundation your opinion I trust the most because you and I have almost the exact skin type and “issues”
Same!
same here🙋♀️
Brittany's Beauty Bar so perfectly true
If feel so un-alone now lol 😉😉😘
Same!!
I have dry skin and I love this foundation. I love to apply this best with a brush, my makeup stays on for the whole day. It does not emphasize my dry patches, I really love this product and I dont use primers when applying this. Although, I do say that it does transfer however I dont really set my face with powder.
Please review ysl 24 hr matte foundation review please pleas🙏🏽
Yes yes!! That one is on the list 😍
Yes please!!!! I’ve been wondering about that since we have the same skin type
That one is really good
that nail polish is the epitome of elegance, with respect to the foundation I'm willing to give it a go because it looked like a dream when you first applied it
It looks pretty good after 14 hours on the first and second day 😅 I didn’t notice any separation!
All nars foundations are meant to be applied with fingers which is why it says specifically on their website. If the pigment spheres are not broken down with the warmth of your fingers and if you apply too much product it will break apart and separate. Which is why it did that. A beauty blender will cause that after a few hours.
I can't even focus when you show us products/packaging, all I can see is that STUNNING engagement ring! 😂😂💍💍
Hehe it’s so pretty isn’t it😍Brandon did so well🙌🏼
I did not get on with this foundation for all the same reasons as Nikkia but I tried the new natural radiant cushion foundation and it does all the things that this one claims to do. It is amazing.
Never clicked so fast on a video lol I’ve been waiting for you to review this foundation 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I love you and your reviews!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You look like a college student without your makeup on, you are so pretty. Great review yet again, thank you so much!
The smoky eye on the third day - WHOAH - gorgeous!
Don't these companies test on all skin types and do it for a long time? Anyone oily, would not have good luck with this.
You would think so haha😂
Heidi Aguilar no they just add ingredients meant for the specific formula.. any long wear foundation should be fine for oily skin , yet with normal to dry , we need more Radiance & hydrating ingredients.. I just got this and have normal to dry , it did Cling bit but I didn't get oily at all . Ima try it with less prouduct .. fave right now for my skintype is Tarte Rainforest.
im oily & i love this foundation!
me too!
I love your foundation reviews! I have oily skin and as soon I'm looking at buying a foundation I come to your Chanel to see if your have any reviews on it! They are so helpful and your very honest! It's a win win!!
Such a pity about the NARS foundation, I love their products. What I really loved was your eyeshadow on day 3, what were you wearing? So want to copy that look, thank you for reviews.
Yes it is a shame😵and I have a full tutorial on it coming😍
Jetta Justinian this is their best most natural looking foundation. I would say it's a solid dupe for luminous silk foundation. As a makeup artist I would say but it if you want a natural finish of foundation that will hide your imperfections. If you want the fake beauty guru look this product is not for you!
I was excited to buy this and test it....unfortunately I have the same opinions as your self! Initial application is absolutely beautiful and looks amazing on skin. After 4-6 hours, my skin becomes really oily! How does the nars sheer glow foundation differ from this?
Maybe that foundation doesnt wear well with primers as most of the foundations...so try use it with just moisturizer !!!
Eleni Tachtsidou : I find with nars foundation you have to use their primers for better results
It works really well with their primers I think most foundations are formulated to work best with their own primers
I got a sample and THANK GOODNESS I DID! I have oily skin as well and foundation has always been a problem for me to wear all day. I had the same issues, after a work day the foundation was breaking up around my mouth and nose. So far none has surpassed my double wear but close to taking its place has been Fenty and Laura Mercier's new foundation.
Finally, someone with oily/combo skin that does honest af reviews. A lot of other gurus have normal skin and its just not always the best for me to rush and buy a foundation that works beautifully for skin that isn't like my own. I have a huge issue with foundation wearing off my nose. (': I wanted this foundation, but I think I'll pass.
I legit finished my Fenty this morning and was looking to try this foundation for a different finish. Thank goodness I checked in with you. If it’s a no for Nikkias skin it’s a HELLA fat NO for mine.
Thanks Nikkia for being our guinea pig!
Yiann SC same but I have a hard time finding a perfect shade match for me but I have yet to find a foundation that controls oils as good as ELDW
Is fenty foundation similar to double wear?
Cats Cats fenty in my
Opinion is better than Estee Lauder . You get the flawless finish and matteness without the heaviness thickness that double wear has .
Do you think perhaps that the products you use on top of the foundation are the cause for those problems? Loved the eye looks from day 1 and 2 . what products did you use?
Hey I love ur reviews!!! Can you review the Maura mercier flawless foundation
I just discovered your channel and I am SO happy I did. Finally a beauty guru that doesn’t add a blurring filter while showing us how the foundation sits on the skin. I really appreciate it. Subbbbed. 💞
Can you do a tutorial on the eye look you're wearing on the last day of wear in this video?
I’ve got one coming yayyyy😍🎉
Nikkia Joy yay!!!!!
Nikkia, have you reviewed the Makeup Forever Ultra HD foundation stick? I can’t seem to find a video on it and you’re the one I trust when it comes to oily skin. 💗
Please do a review on the bareminerals barepro liquid foundation! I'm dying to hear your opinions
cathy this is the foundation I use. I put it on at 7.30am and take it off at around 9pm and it still looks amazing so I would love to see her review as well. It's my go to foundation. It's amazing
So you prefer the nars sheer glow over it in terms of oilness?
Hey lady do warm tone face before the holidays? Do review on col-lab think its called. Sally's beauty carry it. They have full face products
I love their radiant foundation and filter highlighter. Their lipsticks are nice too.
Nikkia would this foundation be nice for somebody who isn't planning on wearing it for a huge amount of time? It looked lovely when you first applied it and I don't tend to wear makeup for more than 8 hours, so do you think I would be okay to get this one? x
Omgsh please please give us a tutorial for your eyes on day 3!!
Janice Tidwell I second this!
Hi! Did you tried it without primer? Although I'm 47 I have super oily skin and my favorite foundation ever is chanel perfection lumière velvet. This one doesn't work with primer, but stays matte all day long. Just a suggestion... 😊
Sad it didn't work for you but your day 3 look is absolutely stunning!
Can you tell me what beauty sponge you’re using? It looks like it applies so nicely !
Im a simple girl, I see new upload from Nikkia Joy, I click immediately
I actually like this foundation a lot! I think its meant more for dry skin because i have super dry skin and it looks good all day. Also, do you wear setting spray? Because that could be a problem too.
You look gorgeous what lashes r u wearing please
Thanks Marcella😍 All the lashes in this video are from my own line Nikkia Joy Cosmetics😍 On day 1 & 2 I’m wearing the 2nd style from the volume set multipack and on day 3 I’m wearing the Zahrah lash. I’ve linked them in the description bar xxx
NEED the lashes, they look so natural
If you have oily skin how do you keep yourself without breaking out? Have u had any acne before? If yes, What products you recomend?
I wonder if it would work better for dry skin types, even though is advertised for oily skin. Nevertheless, it’s a hard pass for me. A foundation with such high price tag that claims to be transfer proof and comes off that easily? Oh hell no. Thank you Nikkia for the review and saving us the 💰
Also Nars used to be cruelty free and now they’re not anymore just to make more money with the Chinese market. One thing is changing for better, but changing for worst (bad practices and bad overpriced products) is not acceptable.
It may - I think it was the oil that essentially dissolved it haha! Such a shame I was so excited😂
I have a dry skin type and I'm actually thinking of going out and purchasing it since it doesn't seem to work for oily skin
lalaxo I have dry skin and I’m thinking of getting it , if you buy it let me know how it goes !
Florecita Do you think that maybe didn't work well because it was too much product? I mean, not that i should work badly, but they say on the package that i might crease with too much product
Ana Luísa Videgoi - it could be, but in general, a product should relatively work independently of the amount, cause no every person applies makeup in the same way. Some people also need more coverage than others. I normally stay away of finicky products that their use is hard to control.
Other people have tried this foundation with the NARS primer. I’ve heard that there can be primer compatibility issues with NARS foundations. Have you tried wearing the foundation again over the matching NARS primer? I’m curious to see how it would work with oily skin if you did. That might affect the wear as I doubt NARS tests the foundation using primers from their competitors.
I love NARS!!!! Why, oh why, couldn’t it work! 😩. I’ll be getting a sample. Thanks for the video 😊
Sandy Mehring i love the foundation ! I however use nars primer and powder
It worked great for me!
You’re the first one that’s reacted the same to this foundation where it transfers and cakes and separates!! I thought I was crazy!!
Do heaps of drug store foundation reviews and stick foundations
1st happy new year. 2nd thankyou for your channel--absolutely every tip you provide solves a problem for me and I cant thank you enough--the best thing that ever happened to me was the mixing of cover fx custom enhancer drops with Double wear--OMG! longwear glowy!! 3rd. by any chance have you tried mixing the Nars with the DW? ive noticed that Nars gives a smoother finish but definitely not as longwear...trying to decide whether to keep it still. xoxxo wishing you much joy in the coming year
great review
FIRST OF NIKKIA...I FREAKING LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR EYELASHES!! I wore them Sat. They were light feeling...like my own. Eyes didnt water, but the quality and beauty are better then lilly lashes, tarte and even MAC!! And the whispieness and length were amazing wore them All day and night!! Thank you so much!! I got tons and tons of compliments. I know i love your opinions...no bs..etc you know ive said b4. Im just saying you out did yourself on this one!!

I'll stick with my Estee Lauder Double Wear... That has never let me down. Perfect shade match, perfect for oily skin.
What a shame! The initial application looked great... until you zoomed in! Oh and by the way... I’m having to wear sunglasses 😎 when I watch now... 🕶 Diamond 💎 Blindness! Haha! Merry Christmas!!
Hahaha I love this😂🙌🏼
Merry Christmas to you too!!
