The coverage was exactly what I was looking for in the summer, but this breaks me out in tiny bumps all over my forehead. I keep shelving it and thinking something else is causing the bumps, but they always show up the day after I try to wear this. I haven't had this problem with any other foundations, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Pretty disappointing considering the price. Wish I would've returned it to Sephora the first time it happened, but now it's too late.

Okay, let me start off by saying that i REALLY wanted to like this foundation. I REALLY did. I read so many great reviews and how its great for oily skin, which mine is very oily. I had a coupon for sephora for $15 off. So I went for it. It cost me about $30 some with the coupon, thank GOD i didnt spend $42 on it!! I would of died. My color is Fiji. After a good two hours my forehead is slippery which means its oily as HELL. It transfered onto paper and clothing, which made me mad. It didn't have a pump, and it's so hard to get the product out. Nevertheless, I won't be repurchasing. Estee Lauder Double Matte is cheaper AND works 10x better! I'll be sticking to that.

Amazing foundation, I have mild acne and scarring and this foundation gave me coverage without being too thick. Two negatives are the price and also that is does not come with a pump (Nars sells pumps seperatly but for the price I expected one to come with the product).

I bought this foundation a few weeks ago and found that Deauville matched my NC20ish skin perfectly. I do really like it, it's a good foundation for my oily skin. Only problem? For £29, I don't want to have to spend a further £9 (including shipping) on a pump to be able to use it properly!

I actually really like this product besides the fact that it lacks a pump. It has good oil control, it is matte and it is very buildable. I don't even have to apply concealer prior to application. I have been wearing it for about 3 months now and I have seen an improvement in my skin in tone. I don't feel it on my skin either! I wanna try the sheer glow because I have read ltd of positive reviews on it! I will repurchase this product

It's a good foundation, if you take the time to blend it. When I first bought it I loved it but as I've been using it, I notice it is difficult to blend. It's gorgeous once it's blended nicely, however.

It's reeeaally expensive, and I personally think that no foundation is worth over $30. But if you have money to spend and time to blend, I'd say go for it.

Ok firstly my skin is oily and I get breakouts. If i'm having a seriously bad skin day I stay clear of this and go to Estee Lauder Double Wear.

The finish is very natural, it usually looks like i'm wearing no make-up. This could be due to the light to medium coverage it offers and the fact that it's matte, so it leaves no film of grease or anything on my skin. This foundation doesn't give me breakouts, I think this is because it's so light.

Coverage is medium light. If you're having a bad skin day stay away and dont expect it to cover all your blemishes. It wont but it will even out your skintone.

Some days this stuff is great and i'm happy. Other days it will move around my face and i'm not so happy. It's hard to say what causes this as I dont do anything differently, maybe it's my diet or specific times of the month making my face more sweaty (sorry) or greasy?

So in conclusion I like this foundation and will buy it again but its one downfall for me is the moving around the face which only happens sometimes, mysterious. Out of all my foundations this is one of my go-tos.

I bought this foundation on a whim. I bought this when I decided I was getting too light for my Mary Kay Medium Coverage foundation, which is my HG foundation for the summer, but I'm still on the lookout for my HG foundation for winter.

About this foundation, the makeup artist that helped me claimed that this foundation would "balance out" my oily skin, the color she picked out for me is Santa Fe which has a yellow/olive undertone to tone out my redness. Even though the name is Sheer Matte, it still gave me a natural sheen, not enough to make me look oily or anything, but it still felt mattified enough.

I feel like this foundation needs a really good setting powder though. It's not enough to wear by itself without it slipping off throughout the day. That's why I only wear this foundation when I go out at night, but that's just me. Overall, this foundation's okay, but it's not great enough to make me purchase again, especially at it's price. Plus I believe this product needs a pump, which would make life a lot easier. I hope this helped!

This foundation is terrible for oily skin!!
It is so easy to cake on this product if you are not careful. You may also need a specific brush. I don't know why all the girls in Sephora turn me to the NARS shelf but I don't buy it any more.
I love NARS blush and thats about it!
Does not blend
Looks orange if over applied
If you go to itch or touch your face it comes right off
Looks like your face is melting!
EXPENSIVE
I cannot tell you how much I hate this over rated product without a pump
OILY SKIN BEWARE!!
