Most of all I love testing different foundation. Today I’ll tell you about a rather interesting for me product which is NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30. The color selection offers 9 shades to choose from. For me, I chose the fairest one - Light 0 Terre-Neuve.

The design of the product is rather simple. We have a black tube here with lettering all over it which is good quality and doesn’t vanish. It opens and closes tightly. Nothing leaks out yet still stains the top cap inside.

The lightest shades won’t suit those with a very pale skin tone because the product is yellow-tone based. It suits me well in summer but I guess it’ll be a little bit dark in the winter.

The product has a pleasant lemon smell. This smell isn’t chasing or potent. This foundation can be applied with any tool. I’d like to say that if you go for a sponge, then be ready to get almost seamless and thin coverage from it.
It’s better not to pack it, especially in the places where you can have enlarged pores since the product tends to sit there. It also oxidizes a little.
The staying power on my mixed skin leaves much to be desired. The foundation leaves my T-zone first. I always powder it so as to set the coverage and make it stay better. By the end of the day, it’s still impossible to deprive the oily sheen on my skin. It’s noteworthy, the product has SPF 30.
By the way, they also recommend to use it as a primer prior foundation. But for me, that’s already a foundation with lightweight coverage.
The full price is $45. If you manage to find it discounted, that would be a good investment.
I’d recommend this tinted moisturizer to anyone with no skin texture to refresh the outer look and seem more revived.
