    I have terrible skin - Dry, sensitive, and rosacea with acne. So far this has been the best foundation I have ever used. I stray every once in a while only to realize that NARS was better all...

    I LOVE this foundation. It is my holy grail for winter when my skin becomes normal/dry, and the lightest shade, Mont Blanc, is perfect for my winter pale skin. The coverage and finish is...

    Even though there are things I dislike about this foundation, it is the only foundation I've ever bought that I bought again, which is saying something. I buy this in Mont Blanc, which is the only...

    I bought this foundation after my usually very dry skin has suddenly turned oily in the t-zone. At $40.00 for 1oz it is one very expensive foundation so I was really hoping to love this. ...

    Wow...NARS Budapest is the perfect match for my light olive fair-medium Asian skin. And, it has been very difficult to match my skin b/c most of the fdt (Lancome, Stila, LM, Cargo) lacks the yellow...

    A great foundation for my freckled skin. It doesn't cover them or make my face look flat and fake. It works very well under my eyes on the end of my nose and forehead. Can give me breakouts on my...

    Foundation is the one thing I've learned not to listen to MUA on, because it's just too personal and unique to the individual's skin. This foundation is great on me. I have totally schizophrenic...

    I have tried every foundation available before I tried NARS. The reason that I went through so many is that I have been searching for a perfect colour match. I have very yellow toned skin (think...

    I was really in love with this foundation when I first bought it in Deauville, which is a perfect match for my skin. But to be honest, it was my first high-end foundation purchase. I think that...

    i had this years ago-i remember it being a good foundation, but obviously not 'wow' enough to make me buy it again because i only bought it twice.

    I do not like this at all. I purchased the St Tropez version, hoping it would give me a natural look, but it looks unnatural, is hard to blend and has a sort of greyish undertone. It also sets very...

    For me, this is one of those products that you think you like at first but then realize (too late to take the darn thing back) that it's just not working for you. I bought this at Sephora and the...

    The product doesn't suit me well. I learned that the best base color of great foundation for Asian is yellow, while this product's base color is pink. So, if you're an Asian.. don't buy this product.

    This is a very, very nice foundation. Not perfect (but foundations rarely are), but pretty darn good. <br><br> The finish is natural - not matte, not dewy. The consistency of the foundation is...
