NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF30/PA+++

Tired of watery tinted moisturizers that don't work? You might like NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF30/PA+++, the latest foundation alternative from François Nars. Fortified with healing nutrients from the waters of French Polynesia, the lightweight, oil-free formula has been shown to reduce discoloration and dark spots with regular use.

One of the key ingredients is Ascorbyl Glucoside, a Vitamin-C derivative that brightens and protects the skin. It also contains Galaxaura, a mineral-rich deep sea algae and Oceana Saffron, a plant known for its antioxidant properties. After 4 weeks, 84% of clinical testers felt that their skin was more radiant and luminous, while 81% felt the product smoothed out the skin surface.

I tried Alaska, a light shade with neutral pink and yellow undertones and St. Moritz, a medium with a neutral yellow undertone. As usual, I was in between shades so I had to mix the two to get the right match. If you want more coverage, it's also quite buildable without looking cakey. The result is a glowing, translucent veil of color, with strong broad-spectrum sun protection. This tinted moisturizer is a triple threat, and I plan to use it often during the spring and summer seasons.

Available in 9 shades, $42 each. To purchase, go to www.narscosmetics.com.

Who wouldn't want to look radiant? Sounds like a must-have product. ;)

It's really a nice product - it's totally buildable but not heavy-feeling at all.
