Hiii Lovelies!
I've been on a
little bit of a Nars kick lately so this is just one of the products I'll be
reviewing in the coming weeks. I first spotted this little gem on Temptalia and
after reading the rave review i knew i had to have it, I'm normally a pressed
powder kinda gal but the loose offering recieved all round better reviews so i thought I'd
purchase and test it out for myself.
"Enhances the look of foundation without a trace of color and prolongs
makeup wear. This invisible silky powder is infused with Photochromic
Technology to diffuse light and adjust to new sources of light
throughout the day. Fine lines, wrinkles and pores optically fade as
skin is visibly smoothed. Soft, silky and luxurious to the touch,
this weightless formula applies evenly and blends effortlessly. Ideal
for touch-ups, it helps regulate shine and seamlessly sets
foundation.Paraben-free. Fragrance-free. Non-Comedogenic." (Source: Narscosmetics.co.uk)
I love a good powder but i generally have quite dry skin so a lot of them really do not like me. For nights out i prefer a matte finish but a lot of powders will cling to dry areas and show up like a sore thumb so finding one that works great and works well with my skin type can be a real pain in the bum. So what did i think of this one?
I think i may have found my holy grail powder.

I apply this with my Real Techniques Powder Brush to set my liquid foundations and it applies like a dream. I use a small amount and press it into the areas i need it and buff it out ever so slightly. It really does give a diffused look to the skin that I wouldn't be able to describe eloquently enough. It mattifies without looking harsh or heavy and leaves my skin looking flawless. It even manages to make my pores look less defined on my cheeks, I absolutely love it. Priced at £25 it is a little bit of a splurge but i have nothing in my collection that rivals this in the slightest, it has a different texture to my much loved Elf HD powder that when going back to that feels almost heavy. I imagine this will last me quite a while when used with a light hand so i look at it as more as an investment.
Overall i think if you're looking for a new powder this is one to definitely consider. It'll be a repurchase for me for sure when this runs out and i can happily say I've ended my quest for the perfect setting powder for my skin type... But knowing me I'll be on the constant look out for a drugstore or high street alternative to keep an eye on my pennies!
Priced at £25 this is available online and from Nars counters.
What is you're favourite Nars product?
