Soft Matte Complete Foundation

Beautiful Foundation

I wear Marquises & decided to give Macao a try...it was too light for my skin tone but paired perfectly with Seafront powder, however I still looked a little ashy until after a few hours of wear. Id definitely recommend this foundation.

Worst Foundation Ever

This foundation goes on feeling dry and shows every wrinkle! It doesn't look natural. I can't stand the way my face feels or looks! I've tried other NARS foundations and it's time to find another brand!

PERFECT! (There is a learning curve)

So, Summer is nearly approaching and I wanted something that would not budge... I was very leery of trying this because it is a Matte foundation and I have extremely dry mature skin which does not help. The first time I applied it, I was like oh my gosh, absolutely no way can I wear this! So I did some more searching read more reviews, more people like it than hate it so I thought well, maybe I will try it again. Same thought, nope, I was so disappointed. So, I thought I'd give it one more try... Moisturized prepped my skin like always, used my primer, and then I used the tiniest tiniest amount and put it on my brush... One more of those 2 tiny drops, was more than enough to cover everything; it wasn't thick and cakey. (You have to work extremely quick, But the outcome is amazing! Couldn't be happier! You guys just need to keep at it > very small amounts, and work it fast short strokes with your brush or a sponge

I wanted to love it

This is the first foundation that truly matched my skin. It has a beautiful matte finish & I wanted to love it, but it did not agree with my combo skin and looked flaky on my dry patches.

It was ok

I love the shade range on this foundation and the tube applicator. A little goes a long way as well so I really liked that. BUT it was very eh to me. I have dry skin and this almost made my skin look kind of off honestly. It's got amazing coverage but I just did not like the way it sat on my face... I also felt like I had to touch up and powder my face every couple of hours with the soft matte powder they offer. I just don't think it worked that great for my skin type. Coverage was a 10/10 tho

Ok..

Selve denne foundation er okay, den dækker godt men er ikke super god på tør hud og creaser let. Hvis man vender bunden i vejret på den ryger det ud i hele låget og sætter sig i kanten og bliver tør..

Foundation Darkens

I bought Macao foundation and within 3-5 hours it made my face look so dark and shiny. I have oily skin.

Don't waste your money

Completely wrong color. I read so many good reviews so I decided to splurge. Big mistake. The color is yellow on me, so the 'match' system used is very wrong. I had to buy blue pigment to mix with it just to wear it. Very dry, not bendable at all.

Took me a while to fall in love with it

At first I didn't understand how to apply this foundation and especially make it look flawless. After trying lots of different ways, I've "made friends" with it at last!! Even though I have comby skin, I have to apply a thick layer of moisturizer and serum and while skin is still sticky, apply the foundation on top. Another way is to add a couple drops to other foundation to make it last longer and get more opaque. And the shade range is on top! I can't live without it now

Less transfer

They said they'd match my color. They did not and they sent me this color and have me looking as white as a ghost! Also, this container isn't the signature, square bottle I'm used to seeing from them, as I was part of the original panel that trialed the 16 hour non-transferable foundation. This didn't transfer until late afternoon/evening. Incredible coverage, very liquid-like. I would really love a darker shade.

Too thick

I bought this after receiving a sample. The full version lays so much thicker and settles in my lines after a couple hours. I double checked and definitely purchased the same version so I'm disappointed because I really liked the feel of the sample.

#1 foundation!

Hated this at first, but that's more user error than product! I was using way too much annd not prepped correctly! and my combo skin leans more dry! So I used nivea post shave balm applied a tiny dime size and set it with setting spray and I've never fell in love with a product! Skin was flawless! everybody complimented my complexion! And I worked a 14hr shift and still perfect!! The packaging is very modern and cute and the amount of product!!!? NARS YOU THE IT GIRL
