NARS All Day Luminous Powder Foundation

NARS Cosmetics just launched All Day Luminous Powder Foundation, their new light-to-medium coverage foundation. If you're looking for a soft matte finish, this is the one to try. The modern formula includes broad spectrum SPF 24 and an exclusive Luminosity Enhancing Technology, a blend of 17 amino acids, vitamin C derivative and marine fennel to promote cell renewal and reduce hyperpigmentation.

The ultra-fine texture glides silkily onto the skin and has great staying power. I'm usually in between light and medium shades but Fiji (light with yellow undertones) matches my skin perfectly. Blotchy red patches are instantly erased, resulting in a beautifully radiant visage. Your real skin shines through so there's none of the heavy covered up effect. I prefer a dry sponge for a light and natural look, but you can use a damp one for medium coverage. My final verdict? It's one of the best powder foundations I've used all year.
