If we could just ignore
the state of my eyebrows for the next five minutes while you read this blog
post, I’d love you forever. And let this be a lesson to you all; don’t let your
drunk friends pluck your eyebrows after a boozy night out. Moving swiftly on
(and never mentioning the brows of despair again), I’ve fallen head over heels
in love with something. I’m cheating on my number one love, NARS Sheer Glow
foundation with none other than NARS’s newest foundation; Luminous Weightless
Foundation.
It took me a good year to
even pick this up in the first place. It takes a lot for me to willingly part
with thirty odd quid, and in doing so, I expect the cream of the bloody crop.
Luckily for me, NARS has never ever disappointed me, and their newest
foundation is just as incredible as everything I’ve tried from them before.
The first thing I really
noticed about this foundation is that LO AND BEHOLD, IT HAS A PUMP. I begrudged
spending money on a pump for my Sheer Glow, so I was really pleased to see this
handy little addition to the packaging. The next thing I noticed was just how
liquidy the formula is. It’s so watery and runny, it had almost dripped off my
hand before I could grab hold of my brush. Overall, I’d say a blender sponge
works better than a brush with this foundation, as the brushes I use seemed to
soak a lot of the formula up. *no, precious foundation, nooooo!*
I was matched a different
shade this time, and since it was the middle of autumn/winter, and I was resembling
a blank sheet of A4 paper, I ended up with the shade Deauville. It’s the 4th
from palest, and seems to have quite warm, yellowy undertones. It’s beautiful
though, and a really good match for my wintery skin. The above picture shows
only the foundation applied on my skin, so fear not, I’m not leaving the house
regularly with that ghostly complexion.
It’s super duper light on
my skin, really thin and comfortable, and I barely even know it is there. The
coverage is, I’d say, medium. There’s definitely room for some concealer and a
good helping of powder to get rid of all my spots and redness. As far as
longevity goes, I’d struggle to fill you in on that, given I’ve only worn this
out on special occasions so far and have therefore ended up too drunk to notice
what it looks like by the end of the night.
This has quickly become
my absolute favourite foundation, though I try to wear it rarely so I don’t
waste it. Thirty one pounds is apparently the price we must pay for comfortable,
luminous, airbrushed skin! Having a bit of NARS slapped on my face always gives
me a confidence boost and a bit of a luxe feeling, so it’s a brand I’ll always
think is worth the investment.
Have you tried the NARS Luminous Weightless Foundation?
What are your thoughts?
Lots of love,

This is one of my favourite foundations! I've never tried Sheer Glow, but I also LOVE the Velvet Matte Skin Tint for a super smooth and light cover :)
