This foundation is highly pigmented and lightweight. The coverage is build able, which I like. I would say the one pump that NARS states to use is for those who have little to no skin imperfections. If you are like me and have a few acne scars, two or more pumps will be necessary. The most I used was four pumps and it was just to see if the foundation would be cakey. Answer was NO!
This foundation gives a really natural, flawless finish. It’s like your skin but better! This is a serum foundation so it is very liquidity. I think this foundation is best for those with oily or combination skin. Those with dry skin may not like this foundation because by it being long wearing, it does have matte properties.
Overall: I give this foundation an A+. This is by far my favorite foundation! I love the finish, how lightweight and how long lasting it is. My face looks the same at 8pm as it does when I first apply my makeup at 8am! There is also a PUMP!! It’s my holy grail of foundations.
