I'm 63 years old and just started wearing foundations about 3 years ago. So, I have been trying a bunch to find what works best for me. I love this foundation! It is so beautiful and brings my complexion to life. I love that I only need to use a small amount of it. The only thing I don't like about it is it is messy at the cap! Same issue you pointed out. I also use the Mont Blanc shade and find it to be a wonderful match for my skin. I feel bad that I now have several foundations that I am not sure I will even use again. Well, I take that back. I am also loving the Rose Inc tinted whatever it is called. That is also gorgeous!!!

[@wendyraye]

Good to know. If you can get a sample of Bobbi Brown serum foundation I think you might like it. A Sephora employee told me the NARS is just the tiniest bit drier, which might work better for you - BB isn’t greasy on me and I have acne prone oily/combination skin but anything that has the slightest matte finish literally pulls my face down like it’s rubber cement (the worst I’ve ever tried that did this was NARS Sheerglow). I live in a dry climate so I’m not sure if I would feel the same in a humid climate, just for reference.

[@nancytilsonsinback1168]

I am 53, also love Nars and Mont Blanc is my shade too! Another great one is from the Korean Brand Age 20s cushion foundation on Amazon. And Missha BB cream....my 3 holy grails!!! 😉❤

@@LeslieSunshine17 I see that BB Cream all the time at TJMaxx and have been so curious about it. Are the shades pretty accurate; in other words what is your Monte Blanc shade match in the Missha one?

At 63 years old, you don’t need makeup. Ageing is beautiful, nothing needs to be enhanced. If anything, you need to clutch your money tightly. Leave the carelessness to the young people. Please subscribe to our channel if you like strong opinions.

[@allielinder4462]

I bought this foundation because of all the hype on tik tok and tbh at first I did NOT like it 😬 BUT, in one of your videos you said “less is more with this foundation” and that was a complete game changer for me!! I started using a pump less than I normally would and ohmygoodness, I was OBSESSED! it really is perfection. I haven’t put it down since, I use it for every occasion and I have YOU to thank 🥰🥰

[@GroovyCatMom]

I only need two of the small pumps for my whole face. This is my holy grail. If they stop making this, I have no idea what I will do.

[@reginaroza3154]

I use a pump and a squirt more and it's perfect!!

I’m really in love with the L’Oréal infallible liquid foundations- I find I get so many compliments on my skin when I wear it.

[@Buzzoftheday]

I agree. Just mix a lil liquid highlighter in it and it becomes glowy/ light reflecting. It's just phenomenal.

[@sarahmooney2057]

Best foundation ever!!! I also love testing new foundations but always come back to this. I’ve been through a whole bottle which is impressive! Every single time I wear this, my husband always says “what’s on your face? Nars? It looks the best. Why do you change it?” That speaks for itself🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@MyCleverHandle]

Hey Allie! I'm 62 years old with lines, crevices, dry-to-normal skin, hyperpigmentation, age spots, moody rosacea with weird texture and silvery scars from removal of BCCs, BareMinerals OG Original loose mineral powder is it! For 20 years now! It works over any moisturizer, primer, BB or CC cream, tinted sunBLOCK, self tanner, anything I've thrown at it. The coverage is easy to moderate depending on what's under it and which brush you use. I've had many women tell me my skin looks great. I use two adjoining shades, one in the original semi-dewy finish, the other in matte. You do have to spend time buffing it, and you do have to use good quality brushes. Oh, and sweat doesn't seem to bother it, even though I don't use setting spray. Sometimes I walk through a light mist cloud of plain rosewater spray with it on. And I work outdoors all day In Southern California's abundant sun and smog. BareMinerals is it!

[@natnguyen4052]

I completely agree! I'm 44 with oily acne prone skin. All liquid foundations and concealers separate on me. I have never had a problem with both the bareminerals powder foundation and powder concealer. Depending on my oilyness, longevity may be a factor but it always fades gracefully. Which brush do you use for the foundation?

[@andreamarksberry345]

I’m 40 with normal/dry and I’ve tried SO many foundations ( although not the Nars Light Reflecting yet) and BareMinerals OG is MY OG as well! It’s gorgeous every single time I wear it! Also, I have hyperhydrosis, which is a condition that causes abnormal amounts of sweating all over, especially my face and this foundation is the only one I’ve ever found that stays on and pretty even through a sweating episode. And that is saying something!!

[@MyCleverHandle]

@@natnguyen4052 Sorry I'm late in getting back to you. I reserve my best Sigma brushes for the BareMinerals powders. I have the large angled Bake Kabuki brush, # F89 and its baby-sized twin, Bake Precision # P89. Black handles, brown bristles with white tips. I was lucky to find two of each brush at Marshalls for $9.99 each. Good luck!

Hi Allie can you pleaseee do a beauty room makeup collection tour!!! I've been asking for this video for years!!! Love you xoxo

[@greatobserver4072]

I love this NARS foundation as well. Especially because it lasts a long time. Pretty much anyone could justify the price because you only need a very small amount, it is so pigmented. I have to say though, I get the exact same look when I mix my Dollar General 5$ Believe beauty foundation in with the Fresh brand Rose Deep Hydration face cream moisturizer before applying it to my face. I mix it together with my finger on the back of my hand then apply it with my brush. After I apply my foundation and concealer with my brush I bounce over everything with my beauty blender. I wet it in the sink then squeeze it out with a dry bath cloth. Then I spray the butt of it with Catrice Prime and Fine dewy glow fixing spray. I love to bounce over every single one of my foundations and concealers this way. Especially if I set everything with powder. It just gives every single foundation, concealer and powder combo a glow that isn't greasy at all, but looks like skin. Another foundation I'm hooked on is the Loreal True Match Lumi. Last time I ran into Walmart to repurchase the Lumi I grabbed the wrong shade. It is literally 3 shades darker than my face. Florescent lighting can really throw you off big time. Especially during the Summer when your eyes have to adjust from the natural bright sunlight to the Florescent lighting in a store. Anyway, they didn't have my usual color so I just grabbed what I thought would be closest. I messed up big time. So.... since I don't ever return any makeup products. I thought, " Is there any way I can lighten this and make it work?" I remembered buying the Loreal Full Wear more than concealer in the shade Ivory 330. It is way too light for me so I decided to try mixing the too dark Lumi with the too light Infallible full wear concealer and y'all..... the combo is so gorgeous. It instantly erased my regrets and I started questioning if I should start buying the 2 this way on purpose 😅. If any of you are like me, you definitely have at least one concealer that is too light. Ordering online can also be a huge pain when trying to choose the right shade. So most makeup lovers have a concealer that's too light. Don't worry, at some point you will likely have a foundation that's too dark. I'm not saying every combination of formulas will work together, but the Lumi and the Infallible full wear literally make the PERFECT combination effect. It's skin like, super thin, but full coverage. It's glowy to the eyes, but doesn't have to be set with a powder. It couldn't work any better together. I work a regular full time job, so like most people, I don't have time to be too fussy with my makeup before work. It only takes about 10 extra seconds for me to mix 1 pump of Lumi and one small dollop of the Fresh Wear concealer together then get it on my face. So it is worth that 10 seconds for certain. I just can't explain how beautiful that combo works together. Anyway, happy makeuping to everyone! 😊

[@MsGnor]

Great Observer, I loved your super creative comment! I never throw makeup fails away, I invariably find a way to make products work later on somehow. As you said, not all formulas mix well together, but when they do you may have a dream combo on your hands! I mix foundation, concealer, gold or pearlescent highlighters, liquid bronzer, sooo much fun. I store any excess mixed product in an airtight container (old loose powder pot) for use the next day. Take care & big hugs 🥰😘

[@danniharrison4269]

I have been trying to get this foundation for the past 4 weeks. Every store I have been to or even online, my shade is sold out. I tried a sample a few weeks ago and now no other foundation compares. Less is more with this foundation and it is more like skincare. It blends seamlessly into the skin and feels breathable all day. It is truly a beautiful foundation.

[@suecastillo4056]

Gemma ( my fav Wolfness) was singing your praises the other day! Made me feel good to hear her support and admiration of you❣️She’s someone I could call a friend indeed…

[@rebeccagauthier5533]

It’s also one of the BEST foundations for mixing!! I swear, it works great with everything!!! But the best combo ever is this one with the Nars Soft Matte. It bumps it up to FULL coverage , but still looks like skin. And it makes the skin look even more smooth and poreless and lasts even longer. For my wedding, I mixed these 2 foundations + a spritz of setting spray before applying… BEAUTIFUL coverage and finish !!!

[@catherineelizabeth2108]

Hi Allie. I've been using that foundation since i learned about it from you I am the same shade. I'm 64 and this is really all I've been wearing as well! So for mature ladies I would say absolutely give this a try. It's so wonderful!

[@jann3443]

I couldn't agree more! Fantastic foundation! I LOVE IT! I am 72 with fairly dry skin. I think it's more normal than dry though. I am a foundation junkie. I have tried every brand you can mention and I continually go back to the Nars Light Reflecting foundation. My shade is Patagonia. My pump broke this past week. It must be common because other influencers have mentioned problems with it. Maybe Nars will work on correcting that.

[@theresas2520]

You can order a replacement from Nars or I believe Amazon has pumps too.

I was actually completely with you on this Nars foundation being the best I've ever tried but then I started using it more often an all of a sudden my super dry skin started to work against it! I gives me dry patches and unevenness all over and it's making me SO sad!!! Foundations do tend to do this however sometimes, I have very dry skin with mild eczema so sometimes I'll find a foundation and I'll love it more then any other and then I use it some more and it starts looking bad on me, which is such a disappointment. My skin has been acting up in the Austin heat lately but I am going back to my home country of Iceland so I'm going to see how it wears after my skin has gotten used to it's usual environment again. I will not give up on this foundation just yet!!! I have been using the Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Foundation SPF 45 from Estée Lauder and I friggin LOVE it!!! It's so beautiful and agrees so well with my dry skin PLUS it has SPF which I think the Nars one is missing. But I am also a foundation fanatic and I'll always love testing out new ones. The It Cosmetics Nude Glow is also AMAZING!

[@reginaroza3154]

Yes, yes and yes! All of those!

[@wendyraye]

It’s expensive as heck (now especially) but I feel like nothing beats Bobbi Brown serum foundation! A little goes a long way and it blends in and doesn’t look like makeup but covers what needs to be covered. I’m acne prone, combination, dry patches, all the fun stuff and it absolutely doesn’t emphasize dryness. Try it out if you can. It lasts forever because one pump is plenty.

[@Ghost084]

I'm actually so glad you posted this allie! I have a horrid time with foundations as well as shades because I'm so pale with what I call 'bad neutral' undertones, meaning instead of looking good in silver and gold I can only do silver, but warmer eyeshadow looks better on me and I cant wear light colors and especially light blues/green and yellow/orange. Basically none of the "neutral" undertone signs apply but cool tones are too pink on me and in most lights it's really easy to look yellow, and some neutral tones foundations still pull yellow on me. I finally started looking at nars because I have yet to see anyone have a bad review of their foundations across a whole range of skin types and tones. I used their match tool based on my closest matching other foundations and was surprised that Oslo L1.5 came up, but I think I'm also going to try Mont blanc because on camera you seem to have a very similar skin tone to me. My only hold up all this time has been that I'm trying to make as much of my makeup and skin care routines 100% cruelty free and nars isnt since they're owned by shiseido and sell in countries that require animal testing either of the ingredients themselves or of the product once it arrives in their markets and such. But with something as challenging for me as foundation I'm willing to let that slide and accept that in the US and the bulk of countries the nars sub brand itself tries to be cruelty free.

[@katshanpatelfam]

I have been using this foundation but I found a whole new appreciation for the product when I was making a makeup tutorial for Instagram/Tiktok. I am in my 40s, with oily skin, breakouts and enlarged pores. So never 100% happy with my base finish until today. My makeup looked flawless. Its such beautiful foundation and likewise my most reach foundation. Apart from my Pat McGrath foundation, Nars Light reflect foundation is my favourite go-to foundation. If you have oily skin like myself, may need to touch-up with powder now and then, to remove the shine, otherwise it is very wearable foundation.

[@jlo2474]

Greetings from NY Allie, you are truly my favorite creator!❤️ Just wondering, is there a drugstore foundation that you’ve tried that even comes close to the Nars?

[@kathycrawford4719]

I couldn't believe how beautiful this made my skin look and I am 64 years old. I ordered this right after watching this video. Thanks Allie

[@SpicyCat84]

“Every occasion foundation” it rhymes that’s just so cute 🥰

[@roseelliott2728]

I absolutely loved the freshness of the finished look.🌸

[@michelleo.2999]

I love how your skin looks using this foundation and would love to try it for myself also! I do have a question for you though about how it wears. I live in Arizona and the summers are brutal, stepping outside for just a few minutes, you end up sweating a lot. I don't know where you live if you deal with this type of heat but was wondering if you do, how this makeup stands up to a sweat test. I know the Urban Decay foundation I used to use, did not pass the test at all, I would end up with patches of no foundation dabbing away sweat from my face, it looked so bad I had to wipe it all off in the restroom at a very special event. How does the NARS hold up in comparison?

[@shannaturner2291]

Nars light reflecting, Fenty powder foundation and Fenty skin tint are my top 3 for sure! I have no desire to buy anything else at the moment! ❤️

[@kellywatts6227]

My fave also Allie, I said exactly the same thing that I don't have to even buy another its great for any occasion because it's just such a thin te texture with great coverage and I have normal/dry skin 😘

[@Maddhaddar]

I just bought this because you liked it so much and Omg!!….. I LOVE it! I’ve never bought anything but drugstore foundation. Just wanted you to know! 🖤🖤🖤 thank you!

[@lindseydavis9702]

Yes yes yes! I love this foundation! It plays so nicely with all of my products!

[@caitlinsollee8326]

I’m on the bandwagon with this nars foundation as well! I haven’t ever gotten on with ANY nars base products-but this one is a game changer. It’s so beautiful, natural and as you pointed out…it’s reliable! I haven’t had one “bad foundation” day with this one and I have used it for a couple months straight now. Also traveled and wore it this summer in Mexico and north east Canada and it did equally as well in both climates! Sometimes I mix it in with other products (a tinted spf and a primer) and it mixes with other products well! The color range is fantastic imo (I haven’t ever been able to get a good match w previous nars base products) but was able to get a spot on match! I literally have zero negative comments on this one! Also it didn’t explode or leak whatsoever in all of my flights❤️!

[@szelingng4493]

I also bought the Nars light reflecting foundation. For me, this foundation is indeed very skin like. However it does oxidise as the day pass. My skin is oily combi and I live in humid tropical country.

[@adele8153]

This foundation is on my to try list for awhile! Def gonna buy this after your vid! Love your videos Allie!! sending love from taiwan

[@Tashi-tect]

I’ve been using this foundation for several months now and recently I noticed my redness has gotten way better. When you read the Ingredients I’m wondering if the foundation is what did it! I also love this for everyday. I have found that it will cling to my dryness if I don’t apply it with my fingers like NARS says to do. When I use my fingers it really melts into my skin. I do get a bit oily through the day, but I have been using less powder and no primer. So I will try that again and see if it help. Honestly I got into this foundation after you raved about it and it is my favorite! The Make up forever HD is close second. That one stays a little more matte on me by the end of the day. But the NARS one feels more weightless and the color match is better for me. Thanks for sharing this product with us Allie! And your skin is looking amazing, it’s not just the foundation 😘😘😘

[@shelbytotty8095]

I finally tried this after watching this video. I know you've been talking about it for months and I've been on the fence about trying. But i absolutely love it. It makes my skin look like skin but it covers all my imperfections. It's amazing. Thank you so much for recommending this! Love you and your videos! ❤❤❤❤

[@make-upmaven565]

So beautiful! Thanks for reviewing this, I've been wanting to try it.

[@tnysgrl41]

I had to order the foundation from Mercari because my shade was sold out everywhere! Can't wait to try it

[@ellementira]

This has been my only foundation purchase post-pandemic- thought it was the best foundation I had ever tried too! I have dry-normal sensitive skin, but I can see where an oily person might not like it. Often I'll even skip concealer because I like how natural it looks on its own, whereas before I would skip foundation if anything.

[@CassaundraBabe]

I’m a “sometimes” makeup artist and started using this as soon as it came out. It is incredible especially for aging skin!

[@megandanforth2866]

one of my favorite complexion products!

[@lynettematalasii]

This has become my favourite foundation too! Such a beautiful satiney finish 💕

[@jerihillman6311]

YES I just tried it the other day and I could totally tell that my skin looked smoother and poreless and I love the finish. Great coverage and so pretty. 😍👍

[@jerihillman6311]

Oh and I am almost 51 and have normal skin. I agree that it's exceptional 😊

[@kyanagarcia9981]

Hey Allie!! Thank you so much for this video. I’m not too much of a foundation gal as my skin type is more dry, and prone to acne and rosacea. So I have a hard time finding something that doesn’t break me out, give me flare ups or is just way too drying. I’ve been doing a ton of research as I want something for night outs or just help even my skin out and I think you’ve sold me to at least give this one a try. It looks absolutely beautiful on your skin. I love your videos! Your absolutely beautiful!

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

Same here, Kyana! Having Rosacea really sucks, and just the act of putting a foundation on can cause a flare up at times. I’m looking forward to trying this out because I need something that works!!

[@candacerobinson9595]

I also love this foundation! I bought it after seeing your first video about it. It feels so nice on my sensitive skin and it doesn't sit in my fine lines. I was using Estee Lauder's Futurist Hydra Rescue but this has replaced it. I like how NARS isn't as balmy and lasts longer. That lip color is amazing on you!

[@crab3696]

Agree esp for combination skin. I also have redness so this works great without looking cakey. It is a great formulation that has great staying power. Highly recommend.

[@kpr3110]

The same thing happed to my pump. I also love the foundation. It looks fantastic on you!

[@larsha01]

Allie can convince me to buy anything at this point. I have a lot of acne and while I've been covering it less and less as of late in order for me to justify $65 aud + shipping I might wanna look for someone with more acne trying it. Maybe so I don't need to justify treating myself to yet another foundation I'll pop it on a Bday-Christmas list ♥

[@akaCJ]

well i popped out this afternoon and grabbed a test sample (santa fe)... and after 5 hours of wearing this, I am in love with this foundation... I will be purchasing this tomorrow - As always Allie thank you for your passion for makeup and your honesty & integrity

[@jessicalawton1]

I'm still on the fence about this one... I really love the Dior Forever Matte, the Nars Natural Radiant (also in Monte Blanc) and the Fenty Beauty matte foundation. Love you and your videos! Have a great weekend Allie! Xoxo 😘🧡

[@vickycorey8195]

Wow Allie!! You could definitely be a fresh faced model with this look you've created!! Stunning and the lipstick is stunning, too!

[@oliviaann4678]

I enjoyed the Lisa Eldridge finish on you too it’s a moment 💗💗

[@magnoliastudio8576]

Allie I am 46 and I lost a bunch of weight in a short period of time, so wrinkles are a thing. I bought this on your recommendation last night. It’s 106 today in Texas. I’m in auto sales- so I’m out in it all friggin day. Can I just say- it’s 2:45pm. I look GOOD. Not settling into wrinkles. I’m not sweating it off. I’m a fan. I like full coverage- and I just had to layer up a little more to get that coverage I wanted. But I’m all in. Thanks girl.

[@bonitafolkes9787]

I bought this after seeing you use it so many times and I absolutely LOVE it!! It’s definitely my go to :)
