NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation

[Monsy]

I have combo skin. My match in my sig is wrong, but I can't remember how to change it. When I had my wedding makeup done, she matched me as an NC20. I do wear a primer, though not one of the pricy ones. I have redness and acne scarring, so what I might need is a good concealer.

Edit: Okay, figured out how to change my signature. It should be right now.

I do not thing Sheer glow is longer wearing than mac ones, or at least prolongwear or studio fix fluid.

That's a shame. I'll try a few different things and see if I can get it to work on me. If it's a better color match than Studio Fix, I can make it work. I haven't had much luck finding a perfect shade for me

I am NC20 in studio fix and Deuville in sheer glow. It just might be something you are wearing under the foundation - wrong primer, or moisturizer that's making it come off easily

That's probably it. I've been using Olay Daily moisturizer and Monistat Anti-Chafing gel. I need a new daily moisturizer, I think. This cheap primer does about the same for me as Smashbox, so I could probably try a few different ones too.

Hi, I wasn't sure if you all were aware or not but Nars is having a sampling "contest" right now through their Facebook for their Radiant Cream Compact Foundation. Everyday they're giving away 100 samples of a different shade.

I did this today and managed to "win" a sample of Gobi! If you log on right at 12, it's worth a try. I'm going to try for Deauville tomorrow to compare them.

So I just had my first chemical peel, and have a few dry spots... this stuff just clings to them. I like the finish, but not sure I'd keep it. That, and the fact that I think it will slide right off my face without primer, will deter me.

Do you not really wear primer? Lately I've toyed with eliminating it from my routine. Unfortunately I have 6-7 to go through right now. Was thinking of sending you Too Face Primed & Poreless when I sent your blush. (Or Smashbox or CoverFX SPF 30) Btw, what did you think of your peel?

Chemical peels just dry me out a lot how is your peel result going for you?

I did not win yesterday and don,t remember today. missed again

I usually do my makeup on the go, and don't always remember to bring the primer. When I go out, I layer it on though. LOL


I like the peel results so far, they said it would take 4-5 days for the peel to finish doing what it is supposed to do, and my forehead is dry and scaly right now. So I'm waiting for that to peel. The first day, I could feel my face tightening up and my face was so soft. (I should have taken before pics, the doc did) Today I had the most flaking, and even that was almost non existent. It's kind fun to see the acne dry up and fall off. I know gross. I doubt that my darkest spots will be gone after the first application. I'll do one, maybe two more after this.

Do You have any itching? If yes how are you dealing with it?

 

[MissTT]

Child, put the primer on before you leave then! Also, see if you can find some mini-bottles of a primer you like. Sephora sells some in smaller sizes or gives them away as perks.

I tried to use muac 40% lactic acid peel but the itching was killing me.

 

[MissTT]

Definitely an Hourglass one. May be online only though.

No, no itching.   LMAO...  you are hilarious... and yeah... that's way to easy. LOL   Do they sell small samples of Nars and hourglass primers?
