FAQs

What skin types is this foundation best for?

This foundation is ideal for combination and oily skin types due to its long-lasting matte finish and shine control. It can also work for normal skin. Those with very dry skin may need to focus on hydration before application.

How long does the matte finish last?

The NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation is designed to provide up to 24 hours of wear with continuous shine control.

Does this foundation settle into fine lines or wrinkles?

The formula is designed to resist settling into wrinkles, providing a smooth and refined look.

Can I build up the coverage?

Yes, the foundation provides medium to full coverage and can be built up by layering additional product for greater coverage without feeling heavy.

Will this foundation feel drying on my skin?

The formula is breathable and aims to provide a comfortable matte finish without drying out the skin, even with long-term use.

How do I clean my makeup tools after use?

Standard cleaning procedures for makeup brushes and sponges apply. Use a gentle cleanser and rinse thoroughly, allowing tools to air dry completely.

What is the Pore-Refining Trio technology?

It's a key ingredient complex in the foundation that works to visibly improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of pores over time with continued use.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears streaky or uneven.

Ensure your skin is properly prepped with moisturizer and primer. Use a clean blending tool (brush, sponge) and apply in thin, buildable layers. Allow each layer to set slightly before applying more.

Foundation feels heavy or cakey.

Reduce the amount of product used. Focus on applying only where needed and blend thoroughly. Ensure skin is well-hydrated before application, especially if you have drier patches.

Shine breaks through quickly.

Apply a mattifying primer before foundation. Set the foundation with a light dusting of translucent setting powder, focusing on the T-zone. Ensure you are using the full recommended wear time without touching up excessively.

Color appears different after application.

Allow the foundation to set on the skin for a few minutes, as color can sometimes shift slightly as it dries. Ensure you have selected the correct shade for your undertone.
