NARS Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation.

Available in 36 shades, the breathable and buildable medium coverage foundation instantly blurs imperfections, smooths the look of textured skin, and helps conceal blemishes, dark spots, and redness. Including advanced skincare ingredients in the formulation also contributes in helping defend against environmental aggressors and blue light, whilst also strengthening the skin’s barrier to help maintain its moisture for better hydrated skin. Shaking the glass bottle before applying 1-2 pumps over your sunscreen or desired primer, starting at the centre of the face and using your fingertips or buffing brush, the easily spreadable foundation instantly awakens the skin, without looking cakey or feeling sticky. The vegan-friendly formula is also non-acnegenic, so won’t clog pores if you suffer with acne or spot-prone skin, and is the perfect foundation for those who are wanting a natural finish foundation with added skincare benefits, as always play around with a new foundation to see how the formula works for you and your skin type.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer.

Available in 30 shades, the medium and buildable formula provides hydrating, multi-action skincare benefits with light diffusing technology. Brightening, correcting, and perfecting the skin, the concealer is able to color correct imperfections (not hide), dark circles, and fatigue which can appear under the eye area and can even be used as a highlighter and contour product. Including an antioxidant-rich multi-active botanical blend of ingredients in the formula not only helps protect the skin from free-radical damage, but the blend also contributes to hydrating, firming, and improving the skins barrier function for improved hydration.  Applying on its own or after foundation, the doe foot applicator allows precise application to a certain area with its luxurious texture gliding over the skin with ease and leaving a luminous finish that is crease-proof and does not feel heavy or drying. Apply a little to begin with and if you need more coverage than just add a tiny bit more, with any concealer everyone's skin is different so play around to find out how much you need to apply on days you want to wear it on its own or with a foundation mentioned above. Purchase Here: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

NARS Light Reflecting Loose Powder.

Available in 4 shades, the translucent and luminous finish powder not only locks makeup in place all day, but it also features Photochromic Technology. Creating a soft-focus effect whilst adjusting to all sources of light, it also defends the skin against blue light and environmental pollution. The no-flashback formula (ideal for photos) features mineral powders with added hydrators glycerine and vitamin e to maintain moisture levels throughout the wear time, ideal for those who apply powders and feel the moisture suck right out of their skin. The talc-free and vegan-friendly powder is easy to apply by using a powder brush and sweeping over the t-zone or entire face, whilst a powder puff or precision brush using a pressing or rolling action to areas such as the under eye-area will give a more direct application. The mesh sifter is perfect in delivering the amount of powder with each application for a natural and luminous finish, but with all powders i would suggest experimenting with it on application as some people need little or more depending on your skin type.

NARS Climax Mascara.

Available in a mini or regular size, the climax mascara effortlessly builds length and volume to each lash with its blackened pigments from root to tip. Featuring a full-bodied brush with ribbed bristles that loads the brush perfectly with the lash moisture complex formula, you will find the creamy texture of the mascara will separate and build volume without feeling heavy or sticky. It is also resistant to smudging, clumping, and the dreaded flaking that you may experience with some mascaras when applied, and after, throughout the day or night. Creating volume is easy by starting with the top eyelashes and wiggling the brush through before then concentrating application on just the root and outer corner lashes. Extra lift is achievable by placing the wand through the lashes but holding it there for 5 seconds, whilst creating a dramatic look on the bottom lashes is really easy using the tapered end featured on the mascara wand. I would recommend when using any new mascara to make sure your eyelashes are clean to begin with and then practice with your applications to see what looks you can and want to create when using this easy to use mascara.

NARS Afterglow Lip Balm.

Available in 9 shades, the afterglow lip balm not only delivers a tint of sheer colour with a subtle shine, but the formula also features a Monoï Hydrating Complex. Incorporating Coconut Oil, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, and Squalene to help keep the lips feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated with added antioxidant protection. Applying over the lips for a natural moisturising look or used as a base, it can also be applied over any lip colour to amp up the shine and illumination, whilst also applying to the high points of your cheeks using your fingers for a natural-looking and shimmer-free highlight. I love the sheer wash of colour these lip balms create but also how the formula absorbs and hydrates the lips when they are in need of a comforting and nourishing treatment.
