Poor In-Store Shade Match
Was matched to this shade in store by a nonbrown employee. Was assured darker wasn’t needed. Tried application twice at home. Gave me an ashen/white cast look. Texture wasn’t worthwhile once settled.
Like… much better than I was expecting
Better than I was expecting. I have a hard time with complexion products because of dry and sensitive skin. I have seriously rehabbed my moisture barrier and am now able to use this tinted moisturizer. My skin is now normal to dry. The product finish is velvet/skin like. Much more matte than I thought with it being labeled radiant, but I love that it’s not dewy. Doesn’t cling to dry spots, very light coverage over acne and redness but evens out my skin tone. I got 1.2 Gotland and it looks...
BHT - FOREVER CHEMICALS = Big C
I have finally opened my eyes as to why we are all so sick as we get older & why cancer is almost a certainty….because of BHT/PFAS! It’s in so much stuff!! NARS I’m disappointed in you & I loved this foundation ugh
Orange
Product doesn’t match the shade on the bottle or the description.
Actually forever in my routine
I’ve restocked this product for 5+ years now. It gives medium coverage and is so lightweight if you are looking for a natural look. I prefer this over foundation and it is perfect for your everyday routine
Great product, not so great shade
A great tinted moisturizer especially with the SPF. It’s not too greasy and sits nicely on the skin. My problem is, there is nothing cool undertone about this shade. It’s much too yellow and even for being the lightest of shade options, it’s still very dark. It makes me look as though I have a spray tan. For reverence, I use the nars concealer shade 1 and 1.25. I really wanted to find a tinted moisturizer that matched my tone but unfortunately, I will be returning.
Mature skin A+++
After using this product for one day I am now addicted. I am 51 years old and this Nars tinted moisturizer goes on smooth with a flawless, radiant but natural glow. It does not settle in my lines and the shade is just amazing!! My skin feels sift and hydrated when I put it on and it stays that way all day.
Fine formula but why is it SO ORANGE
This product feels fine but runs incredibly orange. Norwich 1.5 is pictured on top next to the radiant creamy concealers in Vanilla 2 in the middle and Madeleine 2.3 on the bottom. I don’t think this product would even have a light enough shade for me, and I’m pale but I’m not THAT pale.
so happy to have found this!
I am so glad I found this! I have struggled to find a foundation that doesn’t separate or look super oily at the end of the day. This stuff is liquid gold.
Love this product for everyday wear
The product itself is amazing. My color only shows a man in the photo (L1.2) I find it impossible to compare so I had to go in-store to make sure it was my color. I think if they include men you should get to see your color on a man AND WOMAN. photoproductsfowomen.
This is a keeper!
This was my first time buying this product, and I'm extremely happy with this product because it matches perfect!
Be prepared for oxidation
I’ve used this for years without an oxidation problem, but recently my regular shade was seeming yellow at the end of the day. Switched to the cooler shade to compensate for this and it still went yellow. Yikes
Great product- price is ABSURD. I have used this product for years, but will be discontinuing the use because I find the product to be way too expensive.
It is just the perfect tinted moisturizer
I love this tinted moisturizer. It doesn’t make your skin grease and it’s the right color for me. It doesn’t turn orange or feel like I have a mask.
A must have in my routine
This product gives me such an airbrush look, got so many compliments on my base. Def a must need in my routine!
Oxidizes and turns ashy
Nice texture and lightly moisturizing, but the scent isn’t great (I can deal with it). The bigger issue is that it oxidizes on me and ends up looking… ashy? Super unflattering.
Not my favourite
Did not like the feel of the formula. It was more waxy than hydrating. Good shade range and decent coverage though
Acne
Beautiful tinted moisturizer for dry skin girly like me, plus benefit is spf in it, but there is a big but…. Broke me out so bad afer second use, I needed couple days to get rid of that acne I got. So sad… I thought I found something amaizing for my skin.
Breakouts so bad!
I used this and not even a week later I have horrible breakouts all over my face. I haven’t broken out in years! Do not recommend. :(
Poor color matches
I love the Nats radiant tinted moisturizer, but I cannot find the correct color match for my skin tone. The colors are either too yellow or too red and they oxidize on my skin. Very disappointing. I wish they’d improve the color match as I love the texture, but cannot use. Very disappointed. On the hunt for the next holy grail tinted moisturizer with better color matches.
My staple foundation for years
This is my staple and I've been using it for years. In the real foundation I wear Mont Blanc but it's been years since I bothered with it. I've always had freckles and the tinted moisturizer gives me lasting colors, evens things out, looks finished and adds a little glow. I think as you get older, less is more.
Easy go-to
Love this product! It gives me a nice glow, doesn’t cover up my freckles but really does a good job of evening my skin tone. I feel like it lasts well all day too. Unlike a lot of foundations I’ve used before it doesn’t break me out either!
The price wasn’t justifiable. It was blurring and worked decently as a base but was just too thick for me. I expected more from a product with this price point.
Skin concerns after use
After using the product I had a very bad rash on my skin. I when to the store and the associate who assisted didn’t allowed me to change nor get a refund on the product because it was over the 30 day although I told her I was away on business and the product was still full since I only used it one time
Recommended Minimalist Beauty Routine
light, moisturizing, pleasant-smelling and great looking. Really a quadruple trifecta! I highly recommend this moisturizer for anyone who is a minimalist- you just use this one and no need to add anything else and you're ready to go
Great for natural look
Lightweight, hydrating, and gives a natural glow—perfect for everyday wear!
Skipping for clean makeup
I’ve been using this tinted moisturizer for a while, but after scanning it with the Yuka app, I was shocked to find it contains several toxic ingredients. It’s incredibly disappointing that the beauty industry still allows harmful chemicals in makeup, especially in products we use daily and directly on our skin. I’ve decided to stop using this and am now switching to clean, non-toxic beauty products only.
Perfect Subtle Coverage
Easily blendable coverage. I apply with my fingers and it takes seconds to get it right. Gives me a even, radiant complexion while not looking like I have any makeup on at all.
My fave
I have been using this tinted moisturizer for years now and am such a big fan! Coverage is natural, shade is perfect for me and I love the no make up make up look tan it gives me.
Smooth creamy coverage
Best tinted moisturizer i’ve tried! I have combo/dry sensitive skin with hormonal acne occasionally. this doesn’t break me out, goes on smoothly with just my finger tips. It goes excellent with my landon’s concealer. excellent
Great tinted moisturizer.
I've been using this tinted moisturizer daily for over a decade when not doing a full face beat. It's excellent coverage for my more natural looks (work and gym), but I wouldn't wear it out to dinner or brunch because the coverage is so minimal. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, but my face gets astonishingly oily from it within 2-3 hours, which is not ideal. I'm not sure if that's just my skin reaction though, but that's the drawback for me.
Im pretty fair so i got the lightest shade but it was almost orange/yellow unfortunately. The skin tint itself is nice tho its just not light enough
Great product
This is a great product and you get a lot more than with other brands. It last all day and doesn’t break me out
We Finally Meet
Where have you been all my life? How has it taken this long to find you? I am in love! I have wasted so much $$$ in my efforts to find the perfect tinted moisturizer and FINALLY it's happened. To start with I don't like to wear a lot of makeup but I still want a healthy glow, and even tone, which doesn't come naturally to my skin. I get what I want from this moisturizer. The search is over!
Product is awesome, but price sucks!
This stuff is awesome and blends well, but it’s hard to spend almost $50 on a tinted moisturizer. That seems a bit steep!
My one and only
Only thing I been using for the past 15 years. It covers, its natural, it's good for your skin. 10/10, love it!
Amazing
amazing product. i love how my skin looks after i put this on. The shade range is inclusive and has good colors for all undertones. Have repurchased multiple times!
Gave me pimples
I've used Nars liquid foundation and Nars liquid concealer before and they both worked well. I tried to like this tinted moisturizer, so I used it at least twice. The color Norwich matched my skin. It looks dry when you first apply it but wait until it settles in your skin about 15-20 minutes, and you'll see it hydrate better. The first time I used it, a couple of pimples came out. I thought that maybe they're just because of monthly hormones, so after two weeks, I tried using the product...
Wrong color for me. NARS use to have a color called Polynesia that’s the perfect color for me however they discontinued it and suggested Guernsey. It’s a no for me.
I can't even refund it

A staple when looking for light coverage
This is the best tinted moisturizer I've ever used. I've been using this for years and have had around 5 of these or more. Great light coverage and super glowy. I always get compliments on my skin whenever I wear this.
Best tinted moisturizer, even for well over 40!
I finally found a perfect tinted moisturizer again! I've been using tinted moisturizers for a while now. For many years it was a Clinique one but it got discontinued. Then I went to Laura Mercier but that formula and colors got changed recently. I took a chance at NARS. And it is the best one yet! The color match is perfect for my light skin, it covers enough, stays all day and best of all I don't feel it on my skin. That is beyond amazing to me because even though it has SPF it is super...
Okay
Very hard to find a match. This is much darker than I thought it would be. I’m not loving the way it sits on my skin, but it’s not terrible. I am searching for the perfect spf/coverage conbo
Beautiful finish be irritated my skin
I wore this a few tints and the finish is beautiful natural radiant! HOWEVER, I noticed my skin starting to get red and itchy the more I wore it. The last time which was my 5th time wearing it……I COULD NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE I took it off in the car!!!
Absolutely a must
Omg quite literally the first tint I found that matches my skin tone. I nearly cried. Cool/neutral redhead. Lightweight, relatively light coverage. Blends fantastic, hydrating and non clingy to my dry skin.
Light coverage perfection
I love this tinted moisturizer! It is very minimal coverage, so do not recommend for anyone that prefers full coverage. This evens my skin tones, carries my glow forward, and looks so natural! I’ve never used a foundation or tinted moisturizer that looks as natural as this one!
I Plan to Repurchase
I bought the shade Finland - L1 and I love it. It’s the perfect compromise for those that don’t like the “dewy” skin trend. With a natural finish and soft creamy texture, it doesn’t crease or emphasis pores and skin texture. Shading is accurate, but remember it’s also relative! (Item was bought directly from NARS website.)
Yellow color
Used this product for years with no issues. Lately it feels like the colors are very yellow and I can no longer purchase nars products, I’m not sure if they changed the color or formula. It’s a medium coverage and can be used instead of foundation
Perfect for oil skin and buildable coverage
Holy cow this stuff is amazing. I’ve tried so many skin tints, they always separate and leave me looking oily and shiny. This stuff is truly amazing and exactly what I needed. It has the look of natural skin but more coverage than an ordinary tint. 10/10 this is what I needed. Perfect for oily skin.
I really like this tinted moisturizer. I have very dry skin and usually opt for BB creams or tinted moisturizers for my everyday makeup. This is perfect for what i have been looking for. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the scent. I'm not sure if its the sunscreen part or what, what it smells sweet. That always scares me as I have acne prone skin, but I haven't had any breakouts so far.
After using this product for 4 days at work it has broke me out
Not for sensitive skin
I used this product for 4 days and broke out. Will be returning
Recommend this product. Since I’ve been using it , people have commented how my face glows and I look younger. I love how it looks and how light it feels on my skin. I do have to use a concealer if I want more coverage in the evening
Does what a tinted moisturizer should do
This does exactly what a tinted moisturizer should do. Don't expect more or even less! I have somewhat dehydrated skin with an oily t-zone and some dryness due to being on tretinoin. Its a light coverage. you can still see acne scars and some discoloration through it. I am able to apply a second layer with no issues. i usually do end up applying a second layer under my eyes because i'm too cheap to buy a concealer. again, its a TM, its not going to give you medium coverage. great for just...
After a few tries I decided it looked really orange on me. Was super sad because I love Nars products:(
My to go Tinted Moisturizer
So far a great tinted moisturizer for me. Love the light coverage with a very natural finish. Definitely is great for daily use or even on days that I want to just do a lite makeup look.
Good Light Weight Everyday Use!
It does the job, a great tinted moisturizer for everyday use. It was easy to apply with your fingers and blends easily. One downside, the bottle often leaks and it gets messy in the cap which can cause bacteria build up
Excellent tinted moisturizer. This on easily, shade blends perfectly with my skin, evens out my complexion without looking heavy. The SPF is important to me also. I’ve been using this product for years. I’ve tried other similar products but have come back to this one and starting with it, it’s the best.
Reformulated?
This is my favorite tinted moisturizer ever since. Its been a while I haven’t use this but now im back. I dont know if nars reformulated this its kinda different now than before. Its not the same.
Simply the Best Tinted Moisturizer
Alaska-L2 Awakens and evens outs my dull, tired complexion. It is kind to lines and pores, adds a healthy glow, is weightless and long wearing.
Love it!
Love love this tinted moisturizer! Goes on great! Love the color. A little goes a long way! My new daily routine!
Must have got daytime wear
I love this tinted moisturizer and I’m very picky. It’s lightweight, but gives you enough coverage for blotchy skin in certain areas and continues to look great throughout the day. I highly recommend this product.
A staple in my make up routine for many years
I have been using this product on and off for at least 5 years and find it's my favorite of the tinted moisturizers I've tried with SPF. I have sensitive/dry/red prone skin and find the pigment is highly concentrated and a little goes a long way in achieving medium coverage and none of the ingredients aggravate my sensitive skin. Definitely not for those seeking sheer coverage but a great consistency for those of us who want a bit more coverage without caking or feeling like we're wearing a...
NARS Tinted Moisturizer worked beautifully.
I was thankful for the consultant who helped me with this product. She understood my concerns and everything she said about the product worked for me.
I have tried other tinted moisturizers and foundations, and I always, always come back to this! Gives me enough coverage without looking all made up. Lasts all day!
Must have !!
Love this !! Feels so seamless.. a little goes a long ways
Hydrated look that stays on through a bike ride
Obsessed. Great for my ultra dry skin and stays so hydrated looking all day. For extra coverage I use the nars matted foundation under my eyes and around my nose and even after a long bike ride, none of it shifts or looks cakey. Really have started to love this.
Too warm
I love the consistency, makes my skin look gorgeous but the only problem I have with it is the tint! I was hoping this would look “neutral” but looks too warm and too yellow. Same issue with other shades.
I really wanted to love this.
I was looking for a tinted moisturizer that didn’t settle in my pores. Even after using a primer and applied using a sponge, it sits on the pores and actually highlights them by shining lighter than the rest of my face.
This is my holy grail!
I have used this product for about 3 years now & it is the best tinted moisturizer I have ever used. The finish is always flawless & I love that it has added SPF. There really isn’t much of a scent which I love as well. I use it everyday & a little goes a long way! I’m on my 5th bottle!
I love this moisturizer. I accidentally was out in the sun all day without reapplying any SPF and I still didn’t burn at all. Very lightweight and keeps my face moisturized without cracking or lifting. 10/10 would recommend
Light cream coverage
I brought this expecting it to be light coverage. But it is pretty thick like cream. I like how the color matches the bottom of my face. But I hate how the color doesn't match my forehead. my forehead is darker than the lower part of my face. The color is way too light on my forehead. I have to bronze or contour to make it darker. I do like how it's dry, and it's not oily like some other tinted moisturizer. if you want something sheer, go for the hourglass viel tinted foundation.
I like this product but it isn’t as moisturizing as I thought it would be since it’s called a tinted moisturizer. But I still have been using it anyways, I just apply a good amount of a moisturizer under it. I like that it has an SPF as well
Wanted to love it. I understand that it is a tinted moisturizer but it had no coverage at all barely made my skin and even color but had to add more and more product.
I want to like it
I really want to like this because it sits on my skin nicely but it's just SO YELLOW....I have cool undertones and always go for the lightest shade but this is just too yellow. So sad ☹️
Great for everyday use
Lightweight and very bendable. Skin looked even and did note improved radiance. Not smelly, SPF worked. Highly recommend
Best coverage that is not heavy
I wanted a tinted moisturizer that has spf. Read the reviews on this product and was able to find the right color for me. Arrived today. Tried it on and it’s wonderful. You only need a little to do your is perfect.whole face. The color is
Sun protection with color matching benefits
I’m on my second round of this moisturizer. It goes on so smoothly, has no scent and can be used as a daily light coverage foundation. I love this product. It works for my sensitive skin and hydrates it. Personally, I feel that it’s great fit for any skin type at any age. A little goes a long way with this tinted moisturizer.
cracks around the mouth
i just feel like NARS needs to update the people shown in their color match because it’s hard selecting a good shade when shopping online. thankfully it wasn’t something that i couldn’t fix without a little bit of bronzer. getting into the product, it’s super lightweight and it’s almost like the product sinks into my pores. this never happens with any other skin tint or foundation. i tried this both with and without primer and it was very patchy every time i used it. i cracks around my mouth...
I like it.
I've never been a fan of wearing makeup and have been easing myself into it. I'm still resisting it but I like this moisturizer! Smooth application that doesn't have that caked-on look a lot of tints/foundations have. Evens out my skin tone and was a very good color match, it also did a really good job hiding my big dark circles.
Absolutely love this tinted moisturizer! It’s one of the only moisturizers that matches my undertones so well. A must try!
very nice but not radiant
very nice and natural not cake at all but they're calling it radiant when its more of a natural finish
Good product, but not for me
This tinted moisturizer isn't going to work for everyone. If you have oily skin, it's going to look greasy on you instead of glowy or radiant (which it definitely is). Even if you have dry or combo skin, beware of how Nars' face products tend to look in terms of color. I've found them to always look yellow on me in the most unflattering way.
A Radiant Game-Changer for my Skin-care Routine!
This is a really great purchase because it's not just a product, it's a lifestyle. The fact that it's vegan and gluten-free keeps my skin and conscience clear. The variety of 16 shades was like a rainbow after a storm - finding my perfect match was a cinch! The cream formulation is the cherry on top, spreading smoothly for a flawless finish. In the kingdom of tinted moisturizers, this is undoubtedly the crowning glory!
Excellent staff suggestion
My skin is sensitive and hard to match- staff in Powell st helped me pick this out and I am won over by it after years of wearing Laura Mercier and my favourite Urban Decay BB cream being discontinued.
The Best for My Skin
I’ve been using Nars for many years and this foundation has been the best purchase yet. The help I received to get a perfect color match was great. It is very creamy, goes on well and blends like a dream. I like that it does have a light sunscreen and isn’t drying. As long as they continue with this formula I see no reason to switch to another product.
Awesome!
This was a game changer for me. I was tired of using foundation and how it made my skin look (I prefer a more natural look). When I started using this product I realized the foundation was part of the issue, it was drying out my skin and making me look parched. NARS is hydrating and gives me a sun kissed look. Have received many compliments! Gives light to medium coverage then I use concealer under eyes and dark spots. Absolutely love it!
Favorite tinted moisturizer. Good coverage with spf . I like using this on light make up days
A must have
I always buy this it’s so good. Has medium coverage and very natural finish I’m happy that it also contains spf
Exactly what I needed
Great product -- light coverage but enough to make a difference
Absolute Favorite Tinted Moisturizer
The NARS Tinted Moisturizer is by far my favorite one on the market, especially when mixed with the Radiant Primer. It gives me a fresh, glowy no-makeup polished finish while providing the SPF that I like!
Best skin tint out there
I have tried many of the popular tinted moisturizers on the market over many years. Laura Mercier was the gold standard about 20 years ago, and now Saie, but I'm just not crazy about the formulas and how they're very slick and how they wear, which may have to do more with my skin but anyhow...the NARS tinted moisturizer is an absolutely beautiful product. If I layer it under a serum it doesn't get gummy or shiny. If I layer it under another chemical sunscreen sometimes it's a little too...
Best tinted Moisturiser ever
The best tinted moisturiser with spf in the market! I have been using it for the past three years and it has never failed me. On days I don’t want to wear a layer of foundation, I apply this breathable tint and I am good to go for hours with medium coverage.
Natural with Coverage; Olive Fav
Olive undertone would love Finland, as it gets a yellow tone, no red no pink. However, it should be noted that even L1 would look a bit deep on very fair skin. It is just right for me, and I typically use Yummy Skin 2and 3, supergoop 14N, Estée Lauder 1w1. Looks like my own skin texture but without any discoloration! It has strong coverage than other tinted moisturizer. I tend to use my hands to blends and use one/size setting powder to make it less shiny, and it blends well even when I put...
Iconic
I love it! I've wanted this tinted moisturizer since like.. 2015 but I could never convince myself to spend the money on it. Last fall though I decided why not, I've wanted it so long -- why not?! I am so glad I spent the money. This is the first complexion product I've ever used that is A PERFECT match to my skin tone. It literally blends right into my skin! It looks like my skin!! It's very light coverage, but I love that. It gives me a radiant, dewy look also. It really looks like...
This is an amazing tinted moisturizer! Goes on silky smooth, and a perfect match. The rest of my makeup goes on so well over it. First time trying a NARS foundation and I’m thoroughly impressed!
I'm absolutely loving this foundation! The color match is spot on - it blends seamlessly into my skin tone, leaving a natural-looking finish. I was worried it might be too oily, but it's surprisingly lightweight and non-greasy, making it perfect for everyday wear. The medium coverage is just right - it evens out my complexion without looking cakey or heavy. I love that it feels like I'm wearing nothing at all, but still gives me the confidence boost of having great-looking skin. The formula...
natural foundation
I use this as a foundation really because i dont like heavy makeup bc my skin is sensitive, but this is amazing and moisturizing and has great coverage that it almost looks natural.
My go-to makeup base.
I have been using this tinted moisturizer for several years and I love it. It leaves my skin with a natural glow. I constantly get compliments on my skin.
What took me so long??
Not sure why it took me so long to try this. Bought it during a trip as I'd forgotten to bring my usual (and sadly discontinued) tinted SPF. I was on the look out for something either way as I was running out of my usual favorite and had a hard time finding a good alternative. I wear it using the Charlotte Tilbury foundation brush and the compliments have been non-stop. Depending on the type of skincare I use to prep, sometimes it can get a touch shiny but I'm okay with that as I prefer the...
Learned too late that this breaks me out
Love the color match, but after a few months, I’ve realized that every time I use this product, the next day I break out. I haven’t run into any other makeup product yet that breaks me out, but this one does.
Light weight coverage
I like this light weight foundation for times when I don’t want or need a lot of coverage. My skin is slightly red and this does a good job of hiding that without drying.
Lightweight coverage, love!
I have been using NARS Tinted Moisturizer for several years now and it is my go to. I don't own foundation, I just use this. I have very scarred skin from acne and this can cover a good junk of them. It is a Tinted Moisturized not foundation, so if you're looking for full coverage, this is not it. This is a great lightweight coverage. When I wear without primer to the office, it lasts the day.
Not worth the price
When I first applied this tinted moisturizer I thought it was great because I found one that matched my skin color. However, after a few hours the product becomes very cakey and looks like my skin cracking. is cracking.
Amazing, complexion stays fresh all day!
I have been using NARS Tinted Moisturizer -Finland from last 5 years, and love this product. It does not get oxidized and turn my complexion greyish… instead it protects and keep you fresh all day. I wish NARS MAKE THIS FOR BODY TOO. n Nar
Non-greasy, lightweight formula- Highly recommend!
I've (24F) been using Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 for the past year, but the price has since shot up and I was not willing to spend so much this time. Shopped around the site and thought that this would be a suitable replacement. I am usually a warm fair shade, but was stuck between two colors and went to my local Sephora to test them out. I was initially a little surprised at how orange-looking the swatches came directly from the bottles, but after 2 seconds of blending them...
Didn't feel like anything was on my skin really lightweight. Lasted long and was still as glowy as it was when first applied
Not work the money
After using it once the color did not match & on here it was recommended for Valencia in the foundation which I am a match for. I wish there was a variety of colors available. In addition I felt as it was to oily even if it said oil free
love it
love it! My one and only spf that's tinted. has good ingredients. I will by again so don't change the formula.
Expensive
it is light weight and beautiful on skin, BUT it does not worth the price point at all ($50 is a lot for a tinted moisturizer!). I could find a better alternative with better coverage and price (~$20) and better color match from other brands like "too faced" and "beauty blender". So I ended up returning this item.
The best!
I absolutely love this product! It has nice light coverage and is a great moisturizer. I also love the fact that it has an SPF. The color match is perfect!
Expired
They sold me a product that was on the brink of expiration and it broke me out something fierce. Stay away from the Sephora in the sf mall
good even for oily skin but apply lightly!
I'm very hesitant about these kinds of radiant finish tinted moisturizers bc my skin is very oily. this held up very well and only really began to break down and show oil around hr 6. the shade seemed way too yellowy at first but as it spread out it blended decent into my skin. however you do need to apply very lightly bc it can create a "mask" of pigment that looks unnatural on the skin. I would like to see some adjustments to the undertones bc this is much yellower than the equivalent Oslo...
Has boosted my self confidence!
Life changer! I struggle with hormonal acne and dark spots, so I REFUSE to wear foundation every day to work. My complexion in the winter is so pale and sick looking, so I was in search for a tinted moisturizer to even my skin tone out. This is easy and quick to apply (I use my fingers most days - if not a sponge) and my skin looks 100x healthier and happier with one layer. It is lightweight and lasts all day. I apply over my moisturizer, and I have also added my foundation on top when I go...
Just no.
Horrible. I am absolutely returning this. Looks like I painted my face on. And this is supposed to be a light tinted lotion. Gross!
Worth the price
My skin has been so dry and I haven’t been a huge fan of foundation so this leaves my skin looking even and it does moisturize a decent amount. I still apply a serum under and it leaves my skin looking very plump. Perfect shade
A staple in my routine for many years.
This is a staple in my skincare/make-up routine. Nice light coverage, and protects me from the sun. I really appreciate the plethora of shade options, perfect for calibrating to your exact taste each season.
Beware! I got a sample of this product because of the great reviews but it made me breakout in really bad cystic acne and tiny white heads all over my face.
not for me
Not my fav, doesn't have good coverage and the tint just doesn't ever match.
Best skin tint!
Beautiful, natural looking, and blurring! Best skin tint ever!
Perfect finish
This tinted moisturizer is perfect for everyday use. My day begins early this product with good coverage,moisturizer and spf 30 is a no brainier. It has the perfect finish not to matte or shiny. repurchased
Excellent
This product is excellent. I was looking to trade my hourglass foundation for something natural looking that also has SPF and doesn’t accentuate my skin texture. This works so well, so lightweight and provides enough coverage. I highly recommend this product. It has not irritated my eczema skin.
light weight skin tint
love how lightweight and natural this feels on my dry, super sensitive skin! winter shade is st. Moritz M1 and I'm looking forward to wearing in the summer and adjusting from there!
Pretty finish
This was my favorite skin tint for awhile. I love it has spf also. Good coverage and pretty skin like finish. But it sat on top of my face uncomfortably. Overall good addition to my makeup collection. I would repurchase
This is such a slept-on skin tint. This is actually so moisturizing and I love how it doesn't go on heavy on your skin. And it is so easy to put on, you don't need any techniques or brush to use this product, you only need your fingers! It makes your skin tone even too.
Better than Charlotte Tilbury
After watching YouTube videos, reading reviews and trying on several different tinted moisturizers this was the best one. Chanel is my second pick!
Worst breakouts ever. I got it because everyone was raving about it. After some research found that it had multiple pore cloggers but brands itself to be non comedogenic. Sensitive skin and acne prone skin beware. It gave me really bad cystic acne which then scarred.
Will repurchase
Really like this tinted moisturizer . It blends so well very hydrating and lasts all day. Doesn’t settle in lines or make texture stand out . NARS seems to be good for my skin does not oxidize
Holy grail makeup product
This is the one product that I would literally take to my grave. It makes your skin look like your skin but perfect. I get endless complements when I wear it. If I want it to last all day like a foundation I use a primer and set it with powder and a setting spray and it’ll last all day. Buy this right now
Doesn’t last long but it is good SPF & coverage
Nice tinted moisturizer! Wish they had some cooler tone options, as even the cool shades pull warm on the skin. I also have to set pretty heavily to get it to dry down and it sweats off quickly outdoors in the hot Texas heat. But it is a nice consistency and provides decent coverage.
This is a really good product. Very happy with coverage and feel on the skin
I absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a light coverage foundation. I would also say it’s buildable.
No make up make up
It’s light and pretty, it isn’t matte or too dewy, I am very happy with it!
Too thick, too matte
What I wanted - a light coverage product, weightless and easy to apply, with a dewy hydrated finish. What I got - a medium coverage cream, with a thick feeling on the skin, and a flat, chalky finish. I’m giving it three stars bc it is very easy to apply, and many people prefer a heavier feel and coverage to their complexion products. But I will be returning pronto.
TINTED MOISTURIZER
I have tried this product many, many times....different shades, different phases of my life lol Right now I am loving the natural, "clean girl", put-together look so I decided to give this another shot and so far I am loving this again. Fenty shade 300, Armani shade 8, Auckland in this. I first primed my face with Bobbi Brown face base before applying and I applied with my fingers for a beautiful, hydrated, glowy look. I will say......your skin will STILL look like skin. You will see pores....
Must have!
I have combo skin and this product hydrates it without making my skin too oily and it doesn't irritate it when it's dry. It is light coverage but enough to cover redness. most foundations I've tried that contain SPF make my skin super oily but this one hydrates it just the right amount.
Great Foundation
This stuff is awesome. I have used this for years and it is the perfect light coverage foundation. The shades are great. I used to used Groenland but they have added some new shades (yay!) and Mykonos is a better match for me. I hate hate hate heavy foundation and this looks and feels super natural. It just gives enough coverage that you feel polished and pretty.
Wonderful!
I love this tinted moisturizer. It goes on very smooth and is buildable. However, I never need to add more. It keeps my face moist during the hot and dry SoCal summers. It does not show lines. It covers imperfections and any redness. And, it cleans off well. I have maturing skin that just drinks this in. Very pleased with this product
This is the best tinted moisturizer or foundation
This is the best tinted moisturizer or foundation. Feels like moisturizer but covers like foundation. More natural and skin like than the It cosmetics CC cream I used and loved before trying this. Has good buildable medium coverage. I prefer to use concealer for troubled areas for a more natural and skin finished look. I always use a separate SPF but love that it contains it in the case I forget to apply sunscreen when in a rush. Plus I have melasma and "spot" super easily when I skip SPF...
Best for daily wear
LOVEEE this tinted moisturizer. Usually do not write reviews, but this one is definitely worth every penny. Perfect shade match, great coverage for a moisturizer, and light weight.
Nope
Got a sample card with purchase, tried this out and all I can say is yuck. Accentuated pores, no coverage and patchy. Big no. Glad I didn't purchase full size.
Holy grail
This is the best tinted moisturizer on the market, no doubt. That’s saying a lot considering the amount of money and time I have spent purchasing and testing out countless tinted moisturizers. This one makes my skin look better, brighter and overall healthier. The glow is real. Don’t wait, buy it.
ITS THAT GIRL FOR A REASON
BEST SKIN TINT ON THE MARKET. It Has buildable coverage, spf, applies very well on the skin, sensitive skin friendly and other products apply very well on top of it.
Good
Pretty good, only thing is if you have dry skin, well in my case, it makes my skin way more dryer and flaky, not sure if I used it wrong, other than that it does what it’s supposed to!
Great coverage for a tinted moisurizer
This was recommended when I went to a Sephora store looking to try a tinted moisturizer. The employee helping me said this was their favorite as it provided more coverage than others and had SPF. A lighter shade was recommended than I would normally choose for myself, so I'm glad I went to the store to have them match me with a color. I find it very easy to blend, and I do find it covers well. I am not a fan of heavy foundations or wearing a lot of makeup, so this is perfect for what I'm...
Not What It Was
Pretty coverage but something must have recently changed in the formula because this went from causing no acne to causing massive breakouts. Looks like others have noticing the same thing…
Absolutely Love for Light Makeup Days
I absolutely love this tinted moisturizer. I don't like to do a full face of makeup on an average day, but I still want my skin to even out a little (hide some of my redness and make my pores look smaller/covered). This tinted moisturizer is perfect for my everyday light makeup look. The moisturizer itself is very lightly creamy feeling and doesn't feel heavy or thick on my skin. I've found many that were too thick, especially due to the sun protection in them, and this was not that at all.
This has been breaking me out !
I am not a person who breaks out or gets pimples, if u do it’s because I have been using a bad product. I have finally figured out what’s been breaking me out and it’s this, I didn’t notice because I do not use it everyday, it looks like I have cystic acne on my forehead pimples
Caused breakouts
Always was out of stock and had expired makeup at sephora. When I finally got to try it, I got cystic pimples and whiteheads all over my face. I got it bc many people were raving about the coverage and ingredients. It didn't work for me, but it did have some coverage and a citrus smell.
So sad!!!!!
Received a sample from Sephora and although it wasn't the right shade, I tried it on and immediately fell in love...and immediately broke out in a tingling and burning sensation. I've literally never seen a more beautiful finish on a product. It sets itself, looks like skin, has protection...it's perfect! So, I'll have to stay envious of you folks that don't have more sensitive skin. I am prone to rashes and acne and I also use retinol so maybe that contributed.
I was on the fence because Mont Blanc is my perfect shade. I ended up purchasing Terre Neuve after a little research & it works beautifully! If you’re looking for a transitional product that can be used for a “no-foundation” or a foundation day(it’s buildable!), this is for you.
I am disappointed because this seemed like a good color match for me, but unfortunately it really highlighted ALL of my dry spots that I didn’t even know I had. It also feels like it just sits on top of your face
Doesn’t blend
Clings to dry spots and doesn’t blend well into the skin. You can see finger or brush marks (however you apply), and bits of dry skin if you have any. Sits on top of pores and makes them more visible.
Clogging
I loved this product at first. Unfortunately, less than a week after using it, a clog appeared on my cheek. I had to toss. I am going back to Laura Mercier. I think the oil free products have an ingredient in them that causes breakouts.
This is my go-to for the everyday grind and hot sunny days. It goes in seamlessly and neutralizes skin tone.
Actually has Coverage!
I didn’t think I would like this, especially since they did not (seemingly) have a perfect match for me and it’s so dang expensive. BUT I actually love it, and it is now my go-to every day “foundation.” It actually has some coverage instead of just tinting the skin, so it evens out my face, but it still looks like skin. It works well with other makeup products, and lasts well enough throughout the day. The shade match was tough for me because it’s not the normal Nars color range. I am fair...
A must have for me
I love this product, very light product, decent coverage and sun protection... What else can you ask for? The shade they pick for me is a perfect match. I love the feeling of the product on my face.
Great for dryer skin types
Before switching to this tinted moisturizer I was using Fenty's Eaze Blurring Skin Tint. I liked it, and I liked it well enough, but I did not like how much it would highlight any dry or dead skin. I use a couple different actives on my face, so sometimes the chemical exfoliates leave behind almost a thin film of dead skin that has to be physically sloughed off. I often can't see it until I put makeup on, and the Fenty skin tint would make it POP. This product sometimes makes me able to see...
My go-to
I've been using this product for YEARS. My skin is very dry and every foundation I've tried always made me look drier and cake-y. This product is sheer but buildable. Days I need more coverage, I add a layer, let it dry, and then add another. This evens out me out while still showing my skin's natural beauty. It also gives me a nice dewey finish. If you're looking for something more matte, look elsewhere.
My New Go To
This product has been fairing far better than most “tinted moisturizers” or medium coverage foundations after a full day in the Florida heat/humidity. No setting spray or powder needed! Love love love
Yessss
I stopped using foundation because of this tinted moisturizer it’s so lightweight and my skin has drastically improved ever since I stopped using foundation
Great formula, leave it at home
This is pretty sheer and adds just a tinted glow if that's what you're looking for. It's super light and feels like you have nothing on.... ** The packaging is horrible** Make sure you keep this at home. God forbid you're on the go and throw it in your purse or make up bag....get ready for it to ooze everywhere. NARS products themselves are great but how in the world, at this price point, does a company decide to skimp in the packaging????? I've had 2 foundations and tinted moisturizers and...
Ashy and patchy
Not sure what is happening here - not very Nars-like at all. Pretty disappointed. Please expand on who exactly this product is for?
I have never tried a Nars product but this was is amazing! At first I was nervous since I remembered reading a review about flakiness but when i put it on, it is so creamy and just amazing! Will definitely repurchase after
Breakout city
I really wanted to love this but it made me break out like crazy. I also find the color range a bit limited.
BEST FOUNDATION FOR DRY SKIN
I want to preface this review w the fact that I have tried almost every tinted moisturizer and foundation and I am currently on accurate with terrible dry skin, and this is the only product that makes my skin come. alive. I think it would even be amazing for oily skin as well, looks so natural and covers perfectly, it's marketed as a tinted moisturizer but can be built up to MEDIUM COVERAGE FOUNDATION. I would recommend going in store to try shades, I am generally a light neutral-olive skin...
when I first used it was amazing! But after a while from using this product I started to break out.
perfect summer skin coverage
I wanted something lightweight for the summertime to give my skin an even finish but not something super heavy. this tinted moisturizer was absolutely perfect for that. it gives the perfect amount of coverage for the summer skin to still pull through. it also lasts! I have oily skin and this lasts without leaving me a greasy mess at the end of the day. I love nars products as it is and this product did not disappoint,
Simple everyday skin tint
This is my favorite everyday skin tint. I love that has spf in it and how it evens out my skin without overdoing it!
I hate it
It’s so patchy! No matter if I use a brush, a sponge, it skips. Even well moisturized prior, won’t repurchase
Break outs
I bought it to wear during the summer months, love how it looks but it makes me break out … not sure what’s in it that is causing that, I’ll stick with the foundation
Go to tinted Moisturizer
My go to tinted moisturizer. This is the only one I have repurchased 3 times. I have tried several in between. It just blends well and goes on smoothly. I can get oily on my skin. But I live in a humid place So just keep that
Gives a little oily texture.
As much as I like my Nars foundation, I didn’t find it much appealing. It is good but not too good. I will try some other brand when this one is finished.
My go-to foundation for a natural finish.
Great product, like a CC cream but with light to medium buildable coverage. Does not pill or melt, and will hide some wrinkles and fix dryness. I don’t do foundation anymore. Your skin, but better. 🥰
One of a kind
Best foundation I have ever used, cannot find another like it.
Love this buildable moisturizer when I don’t want a full face!
Awesome light weight foundation that stays well. Dewy look is perfect for summer! I just use a light layer to even my skin tone and provide that little touch of color.
Wanted to love it
Looked great on my skin but sadly broke me out :( I tried it a few times and with breaks my skin would clear up and then the day after I used this product I’d notice more congestion and acne. I normally don’t break out bad, if you ate acne probe I would avoid this product.
Love it! I really don't have to put foundation on.
love, hate relationship
I love the way this look on my skin. I wear it either baby itself or with concealer if I need more coverage; but it breaks me out so bad. if anyone has acne prone skin like me, it'll probably make you break out too :(
This has been my favorite tinted moisturizer for years. It gives the sheer coverage that I wanted and it's oil free. . I would suggest getting a sample first at the sephora store to see if you like it. Nars has a broad range of colors for this product, definitely worth trying.
Perfect everyday wear
My absolute favorite tinted moisturizer it has beautiful coverage for being a tinted moisturizer, still light weight somewhat buildable, perfect match it has been my go to for daily use ever since my first purchase. Lasts a long time
SEPHORA HAS HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERIVE GO TO ULTA
was advised to get this shade. it was actually horrible when I tried it on with different lighting. I then call Sephora to exchange this for the proper color and they declined because it was 3 days over the 60 day mark. They then give me the customer service number for them to offer me 5 dollars for my inconvenience but there is nothing they could do.Now im stuck with this product that makes me look like a ghost. maybe they should invest in makeup professionals that actually know what they...
My obsession
I am obsessed with how my skin looks wearing this. A little goes a long way. Gives a beauty glow. Don’t recommend for oily skin. Doesn’t cause breakouts.
Hydrating and doesn’t cling onto dry patches. Doesn’t wear all day on the days I work 12 hr shifts, but you get a solid 8 hours of wear i’d say. Products blend nicely on top of this.
Everyday Essential
All-around iconic tinted moisturiser that gives even, buildable coverage and feels like nothing. It’s not too glowy for my oily skin, and it sets beautifully with just a little powder. Perfect for everyday when you just want your skin to look better but still natural.
I am returning this because it dries my skin out and looks horrible on me and the store employee choose such a. Light shade
Team Tinted Moisturizer
This is the only "face" product I buy. I apply very littler for sheer to natural coverage just because that's the coverage I need, but it's very layer-able and excellent for blending other products on top of (i.e. concealer, contour, etc). My skin runs dry but subject to hormonal acne and I feel like this product actual helps my skin.
A Foundation, Not a Moisturizer
I absolutely hate this product. It’s not a “tinted moisturizer,” it is a foundation. And while the color matches, I feel like it leaves my skin looking dull and foundationy when I really just want it to look dewy and moist and moist.
Black Girl Friendly.
This is my second NARS item I've tried and I love it. I wanted something that I could wear everyday that wasn't heavy for errands or for work. It gives me an even glow.
My go to
This is my go to- all year round. I love it, it’s light and fresh and your skin can still breathe. But it’s totally buildable for days you want more coverage. I’ve used it for years and will continue to.
Nice product but no color match
This is the coverage I want, but I've tried all 6 of the Nars shades at the lighter end of the range in various undertones, and they all skew orange on me. Maybe better for warmer skin tones.
Worth the hype
This is definitely more of a light-medium coverage foundation than a tinted moisturizer but the formula is really really good. I’ve been sampling various “true” foundations like Armani, Dior and Saie and this one is simply the best. Leaves a float finish, great for dry skin, very little creasing and just beautiful
Your Skin But Better
I have acne and hyperpigmentation and this tinted moisturizer does more for my skin than my full coverage foundation.
Save Your Money, There are Better Options!
I bought this product today, and I immediately started breaking out. I took a photo right when I first put this on, and then about an hour later and cystic marks all over the place on my cheek where I tested this and what looks to be an allergic reaction. If you're a tret user, AVOID this. If you break out easy, AVOID this. If you have psoriasis, AVOID this. I have to heal up my skin now because of this product. This is an IMMEDIATE return.
Perfect everyday tint
Obsessed with this tinted moisturizer. Has a perfect medium glowy coverage without being heavy lasts all day
I love that this contains sunscreen and it goes on the skin really nicely. My only criticism is that it breaks me out but since it’s the only foundation with sunscreen that actually looks good on the skin I’m going to continue using it.
Bring back SEYCHELLES
Why did Nars get rid of the color “Seychelles”? These other colors are not IT!
Very comfortable tinted moisturizer!
I have combination skin and live in Florida’s heat & humidity. Even tho it claims to be hydrating, it doesn’t feel as greasy on my skin as the bare minerals complexion rescue. Doenot I have
I can't find anything better for my complexion!
I have been using this NARS tinted moisturizer for years and it holds holy grail status for me. Every time I put it on, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and am always so pleased! The Mykonos color is PERFECT for my medium colored, neutral skin tone. I went to Sephora and brought back 5 samples of other tinted moisturizers that I could use in place of this and none compare to the overall look of this tinted moisturizer.
Wonderful everyday formula
I've tried a lot of BB creams and tinted moisturizers, and this is my favorite. I use Armani for a real foundation, but this is pretty much it on a day to day basis and I get compliments about my skin.
I LOVE this. The perfect your skin but better foundation. I don’t ever feel this on my skin which is my favorite part of wearing this. I will definitely be buying a darker shade for the summer time!
Must have
I am keep coming back to this tinted moisturized, light coverage and perfect for every day use and natural look
Fave tinted moisturizer
I love this for hot days when I don’t want a full face of foundation smothering my skin. Works really well, super buildable only downside is that it wears off after a while despite primer and setting powder and spray.
Light coverage with little fuss
I'm pale to the point that you can see veins in my face, BUT I am also warm- I'm yellowy compared to my rosey friends. This product gives me the exact coverage I'm looking for- it makes my skin not be see through, evens out my numerous acne scars, but still has my face look like me instead of the "blank out" effect a real foundation does. I apply it with my fingers and it goes on fine. I do notice where I miss a spot but it blends easily. It also smells nice and feels suuuuper light. It...
Good as a lightweight foundation
I bought this product as something easy to put on alone before heading out the door. It’s very smooth, never pills, and matches my skin tone incredibly well which is often a struggle for me. Though, for me personally, it had a bit too much coverage for a tinted moisturizer. I usually end up needing to throw on some mascara and lip product to make this look more cohesive which isn’t really what I was looking for. I was also hoping for a little more nourishment considering it is supposed to be...
A must have in my daily routine!
I haven't touched my foundation ever since I bought this product. This is my favorite tinted moisturizer EVER! I use this every day on top of a primer with some blush. For those who want a simple, light, quick makeup look, this is the product for you.
My everyday tinted moisturizer. I work in healthcare and don't like to wear heavy makeup. This with concealer (Nars Creamy Concealer in Creme Brulee) and a little blush is my go-to. Lasts a decently long time, but will cling to dry patches if you're not moisturized enough. I don't really set it with powder, just some setting spray. After about 8 hours it settles into lines, but you're going to get that with any product.
Foundation free living
Most foundations feel too heavy for my skin. This tinted moisturizer has been a saving grace. I've worn it for up to 12 hours and my skin face looked great (a bit oily by end of day). I have clear skin, minimal breakouts so I cant speak to how good it would be with skin that is more textured.
Perfect Everyday usage
Love this product. Perfect for people that are not heavy foundation users but would like coverage and to look put together for the day. A smooth application
Perfect for low maintenance routines
If you always buy foundation but never seem to actually use them then this is perfect. It’s so easy that I actually use it everyday. I apply w/ hands after light moisturizer to make it more spreadable. I’m fair so it’s more medium coverage . Fully evens skin tone but light enough to use hands.fair so it’s more medium coverage but perfect amount to even skin tone and still use hands. Iimmediately after
Best Light-Weight Tinted Moisturizer
I've been using this tinted moisturizer for years and feel like it gives the perfect natural look! It's so easy to blend that I can use my fingers, and if you use setting spray (I use UD's) it stays on all day/night. I'm very fair and this shade works perfectly on me. It's very light coverage, which is exactly what I like for daily wear and bonus points for the SFP.
My fave since 2019 ⭐️
Genuinely my favorite foundation since 2019. Doesn’t feel thick, greasy or sticky. Leaves a beautiful glow/shimmer. Coverage is buildable, doesn’t run, transfer, crease, crack, pill. I love my Nars tinted SOF 💙💙💙
The shade range is really lacking. The coverage is really low so it gives you a bit of wiggle room, but the shade that best fit me looked a little too warm. It's definitely nice for the summer though with the added SPF
I really tried to give this tinted moisturizer a shot but it broke my face out every single time. My face would always feel very oily after a few hours and the product would also separate. Unfortunately, I will not repurchase.
Not for me
I know people love this but there's something about it I just don't like
Broke out my sensitive skin :(
Loved how this initially looked on me, but unfortunately it broke me out! If you have sensitive skin, this is probably not the one for you. Bummed to return because I loved the finish!
Nice light coverage
I have been using this product for about one month and I am loving it. At first it felt a little heavier than I wanted but after 5 minutes it seems to soak in well and it just feels like a normal moisturizer. I love the color it gives my face to help with my uneven skin tone.
Have bought this multiple times. I try other products and always come back to this. I have combo-oily skin and this still works for me.
goes on easily, smells actually really good. 4 stars because it doesn't seem to last all day. by the end of the day I feel like I need to reapply.
10yr staple in my routine
I’ve used this as my only foundation for almost 10 years now! It’s dewy without being greasy & gives a good amount of coverage compared to other tinted moisturizers.
Nice tinted moisturizer
This is a good product and has nice coverage. The only issue is that it is super greasy and can look a little cakey if you put too much on.
Awesome Tinted Moisturizer
This product is one of my favorite tinted moisturizers in the market. It has a skin-like finish, and is very natural. However, it is also buildable for when you need more coverage.
Everyday fave
Always go back to this! I have combo skin and this settles in so nicely without being overly glowy or making me look sweaty. Everyday go to!
Favorite
It's NARS. It's amazing. I've never had this not give me a smooth finish or cake up on me (while also using a good primer). It is buildable, but up to a medium coverage but also not annoyingly shiny or greasy like most "radiant" finish foundations I use a setting spray, but even still this stays pretty good sunglasses or my lab goggles (I'm a chemist). It's still easy to touch up if needed too. 100% recommend if you want lighter coverage, but a smooth finish.
Another Hit
This is honestly one of my favorite go to products! Easy to apply with fingers and melts into the skin instantly and it’s the perfect shade. Literally one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Nars has another hit on their hands. It’s hard for me to find good shades for me but this is literally perfect. I also wear Tahoe in the natural radiant longwear
Too yellow shade
I got shade ALASKA. My skin tone is light/light to medium in summer, between olive and golden undertone. And Alaska was tooo yellow, maybe even orange and darker then I expected. Sh
Every day must have
Love this product so much! The coverage is flawless and buildable. Perfect for every day light coverage or use an additional squeeze for a more full coverage look. I love that it has SPF in it to help take care of my skin not too shiny to where you look greasy and not matte, truly the perfect coverage 
I’m always looking for new tinted moisturizers and this is definitely in my top 2! Light and moisturizing.
I wished I found this sooner
I had order a foundation on the Sephora website they did not have to right color I wanted. When I used it I appeared orangey. I went to the Sephora store one of the employees took the time to do a color match. He matched me with this one. It highlights and provides excellent coverage without being too heavy. It has a slight highlighting glow. The employees and the manager at the store were really nice and recommended a brand I had not tried before. In the store, the foundation I was looking...
Enhances your natural beauty!
I don’t own much makeup at all and rarely wear anything more than face lotion and chapstick. After researching many light coverage products on Google, I went into Sephora with this product already in mind. I was matched effortlessly by the employee and went home with the product within minutes. It’s perfect - barely noticeable and yet I glow. If you’re looking for a product to enhance your natural features, this is THE ONE.
My one & only
My best friend suggested this to me a couple years ago & I will always keep it in stock! I'm not into foundation so this is perfect. I like the feel, it's light weight, easy to apply with my fingers, blends well & lasts all day. If I had to choose between two types of makeup for the rest of my life it would be this & Too Faced mascara.
Been searching for a less-oily alternative to Juice Beauty's CC Cream which I've been using for years - but which leaves a noticeable sheen on my skin, which I then have to try and powder/mattify. Recently I've been asking myself "wouldn't it be great if I could skip the extra step in my routine and just find a less shiny alternative?" Enter Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer: exactly the same SPF of 30, dewy sheer to medium 'buildable' coverage and sufficient hydration for my skin,...
Bronzer did a better job: streaky, drying, sallow
I have had my makeup done using Nars foundations before and my skin looked amazing, so I was excited to try this out to see if I could have this as my daytime moisturizer and SPF replacement for days I wanted to look more fresh rather than made up. For reference, I usually only wear a single pump of medium coverage foundation and my spots of PIH are highly diminished and never show up in pictures, and most of my makeup is for my dark eye circles using a couple of layers of...
Great for dry, combination, acne prone, mature
Even i have oily acne prone skin, even that i live in Florida, even that i don't use it now, but i did in Chicago- it's wonderful product that great works! I think its perfect for dry, combination, even acne prone even sensitive (like me) skin, mature. i still use it for my neck, love love forever!
Works best mixed in with another moisturizer
It's not moisturizing enough for me and can ironically look a little heavy! I find it is best and gives a more beautiful finish when mixed in with something else. It's a great everyday foundation otherwise. I love the shade range! It lasts a long time and I appreciate the SPF in this product.
My go-to for years
My favorite tinted moisturizer. I’m not very into foundation so this is perfect. It’s just the right amount of coverage and feels light on this skin. I’ve tried the Laura Mercier one as well but definitely liked this one more. The LM one felt a bit more matte and thick to me.
good
super great good yes use it all the time love it so much
Wayyyy too warm/yellow
I am so mixed about this tinted moisturizer. On the one hand, it feels so nice! It doesn't smell offensive and does moisturize! Its a good moisturizer! On the other, being a very pale woman with cool undertones, L0 was super orangey on me. If their colors for cooler undertones were more cooler, I would definitely make the switch, but for now it's a definite return :(
Not as good as it used to be
Nars seems to have changed the formula for this product when they changed the shade range/names. It used to be more like a light coverage foundation--not too heavy but enough to even out and brighten your skin. Now it seems to be much more sheer sheer. It may brighten your face a bit but it doesn't even out tone at all or cover even the slightest imperfection. I think it will be nice for summer when my skin doesn't need much, but not a great fall/winter product when I really want something...
Gray cast
It applies easily. I found that once applied it left a gray cast on my skin. I checked my face after a couple of hours and found the cast had gone away, so thankfully it doesn’t last. My skin looked good after wearing all day.
I will keep coming back to this one
Took a break from this product which I used to use all the time a few years ago. Decided to buy it again and packed it for three months of travel this summer. It fit all my needs in terms of SPF, tint coverage, and layerability if I wanted to do a foundation on top. I love how light it feels but also how it stays put. I still got a little bit of a tan by the end of my trip so I just purchased a new tube in a different shade and will finish the other one in the winter when I fade again, hahah.
My favorite makeup base
I use this product almost every time i wear makeup. I can’t stand heavy,thick products on my face, but this blends in perfectly and looks so natural. It gives a natural, dewey finish, but easy to pair with powder and setting spray for a more matte finish that lasts me through work. I think the price is very fair considering the quality of the product and it usually lasts at least 7-8 months depending on how often i use it.
Yellow tone. Not cool
Not cool tones. L3 is so so warm This is so yellow and warm.
I prefer full/medium coverage products but, nice!
For a tinted moisturizer, it’s great! I usually look for something with more coverage but I wanted to try this out, especially since it has a little SPF in it. Overall a good product for what it is!
I can't live without this thing
I've been using this for about 3 months now and I honestly can't live without it. It has an amazing finish. My skin is about normal and there's no texture. It'll look cakey if you only use your fingers so I recommend using a puff to blend it out. However, it does transfer onto things like masks which is the only caveat. Use a setting spray.
I don’t understand the hype of this tinted moisturizer. If I use a sponge it is sheer and yet cakey. If I use my finger or a brush it is streaky and cakey. It is now dewy or glowy and separates on my face after a couple of hours.
Go to “foundation”
I have had many foundations and tinted moisturizers over the years but I always go back to this if I want a flawless no make up look. I have also used GA luminous skin , Mac face and body . But this one is very easy to spread and I need
Best Tinted Moisturizer
I used it once a long time ago and it melted under NYC's sun. So it has been staying in the drawer until yesterday, and I was simply wowed. The best no-makeup look that holds up more than 10 hours. Seriously, it is just that good. Just don't test it in too hot or humid weather. I have tried many fundations and my favourite tinted moisturizer was the a really pricy one, but this is now my fav of all of them.
A must have!
Skincare is my biggest concern when doing makeup. Acne is something I’ve dealt with in the past, but honestly this tinted moisturizer is so good, I love it! It’s easy to apply & not too greasy!
100% RECOMMEND
My light coverage dream! It covers redness and adds a healthy glow to the skin. I never thought I would be someone who would enjoy such little coverage but it's PERFECT for day to day.
great for beginners or a no makeup look
Okay this used to be my favorite when I had just started out with makeup, but down the line definitely realized that there are better foundations out there- this one does have SPF but can get super greasy throughout the day and doesn't do great under powder
Really good product, the texture is so nice, I really like it
Wish I could say this was great
I was hoping to love this because I’m a big fan of NARS but this did nothing for me. It didn’t spread easily on my skin even with a moisturizer underneath. I thought at first operator error try again but same blotchy outcome. I am sad because I really thought this was going to be as good as the foundations.
Love This!!!
I love this tinted moisturizer. I have dry skin so it’s super good for that. It’s great if you don’t like a lot of coverage and like something simple. I definitely recommend!!
my favorite tinted moisturizer - worth the $46
absolutely love this product! my skin has standard texture, although it’s relatively clear, so i would typically just wear a light coverage foundation to cover redness and supply a base. i still would have noticeable texture, as i wear my makeup all day. with this tinted moisturizer, i of course still have slight texture, but nothing even noticeable. it’s truly amazing. i used to swear AGAINST tinted moisturizer until this product - it wears beautifully all day long, even through sweating in...
great for summer
I’ve loved using this for the summer! I will keep it in my vanity for those days I don’t want a full face, or just need some sheer-medium coverage! Totally buildable and keeps you hydrated
Love the finish but it doesn’t stay on well at all and I was break out city after wearing. Sadly returned.
long lasting but wish they offered more shades
Tried and true love this foundation. Only thing is I have to go in with a pale concealer because it’s still on the yellow side and a bit darker than I’d like.
everyday go to !!
Love it!!!! I honestly can just wear this after my skincare and don’t even need to apply foundation!! Make my skin sheer and dewy! I use this as my everyday go to. For anyone wanting to have a no makeup makeup look and wants a dewy look. I highly recommend! Even adding foundation over it would look pretty.
never switching again
This was my first high end foundation when I got into makeup in 2014. I loved it then but I wanted to dabble with other things. I finally made my way back to this baby last month and will never switch! This foundation is so effortless, makes your skin look natural and pretty, and stays all day. I would say swatch in store and check in real light. When I first wore it I thought I was in Groenland and I blame 2014 YouTube where people were always wearing two shades too deep foundation because...
great stuff
I really like this tinted moisturizer a lot. It is nice and light and not to thick. A little goes a long way and really hydrating. I work in a hot warehouse so I don’t wear a full makeup when I’m working so this is perfect for a tint to my face. Highly recommend
I have extremely fair skin - if you build it up to 2 layers it’s not great for light skin but with one layer it’s perfect. It allows for decent coverage for any discoloration but also definitely allows your skin to peek through. I find it takes a while to melt into the skin before it will “stay”. Often wears off where my sunglasses sit but the formula allows for me to just re-blend it in with my fingers when this happens. I do a single layer of this and go back in and spot conceal around...
THE perfect tinted moisturizer
This is a wonderful product. It looks very natural and it feels like I have nothing on at all. I even went swimming with it on and it didn't budge. And I don't mean I was lounging on a float. I was doing vigorous lap swimming non-stop for 40 minutes. It's not advertised as waterproof, but it sure seems to be. I was amazed. I did have Urban Decay's All-Nighter spray lightly spritzed on top, but that was all. It's sheer, but buildable and evened out my complexion very well. Best of all, it did...
buy it!
I love it! It’s great for summer. I mix it with CT Hollywood flawless filter for a good glow. Price point is the only downside.
This is a decent tinted moisturizer with some spf, but it’s not worth the $50. It looks and feels somewhat heavy on my skin and didn’t give me any dewiness or moisture. I also noticed it wore off patchy and didn’t last through the day. Definetly wasnt my dewi glowy summer goddess skin dreams lol
Okay skin SPF protection
Took to hawaii and not great sun protection. Ended getting a good burn on my cheeks. Liquid is a little runny in my opinion . I’ve used Revision Skincare Intellishade for years and I ran out.
Amazing
I absolutely adore this tinted moisturizer. I deal with a lot of blemishes and scarring, and this is perfect for the dewy look! It helps lessen the appearance of my acne and scarring while not completely covering it, which may sound weird because that’s usually the goal, but I like the character that it keeps. It doesn’t actively break me out which is fantastic because I have acne prone skin. It doesn’t feel heavy, and makes my skin look so much more radiant than it actually is! The one I...
Evens skin tone and sun protection!
Very lightweight and helps even out skin tone. I was looking for something to wear on the weekends or when I go hiking with SPF. This is great. SPF 30 protection and lightweight coverage. If you have acne scars or need more coverage in sections I would recommend the Soft Matte Concealer. I set this w/ Laura Mercier loose powder in Honey and works great for my oily skin. I will definitely purchase again.
not sure if worth price point
i like this but I don’t think it’s worse the price point. I enjoy elta MD tinted sunscreen- but there isnt much coverage to it. I bought this because it would have more coverage (which it does) but you don’t get that much product for 46 dollars. Not sure If I’ll repurchase unless i can get it on sale
BUY THUS
I LOVE THIS!! such a great tinted moisturizer if it’s your first time and want to try something. nice coverage and texture. light
Great!
Ive always been weary of any sort of base makeup products for fear of breaking out. Recently ive been wanting to try something light just to really even out my complexion. I love the NARS concealer, so I figured id give this a try, and I really loved it. Its not cakey and doesn't feel heavy at all. Perfect for summer for those who want a little more coverage than just sunscreen. I use it with the glowscreen from supergoop and find its a great combo for glowing skin.
Lightweight, summer glow
Obsessed! Wanted something lightweight for summer and this was perfect. Light coverage that leaves a glow without being too dewy, feels like I’m wearing nothing. Blends like butter into skin and is a great base for applying other makeup products
Wow. I literally cannot say enough good things about this product. I’ve been trying different foundations for years and there was just always something slightly off. Today I went to sephora and one of the workers told me to get this and my face has never looked better. It’s not too dewy to where you look greasy it’s like a perfect mix between dewy and soft matte. It glides on so well. And gives such a nice color and coverage with still being able to see me freckles. 100/10 get it!!
Great product!
I got this as a sample from my Sephora order and I had to buy it, very light, as if I’m not wearing anything, great coverage, and best thing it’s spf 30.
Buy it!
I absolutely love this moisturizer! Most tinted moisturizers/primers that I’ve tried barely have any tint to them. Not only does this product have a beautiful color, but it feels amazing on my skin! I wear this on days that I don’t put make up on and I love how it looks. I will definitely repurchase when I run out.
Not For Me…
Perhaps I’m just too pale for this, but the lightest shade “Terre Nueve” did not work for me. I’m very cool-toned and pale — I use Estée Lauder’s Cool Bone in DW, Tarte’s Shape Tape in 12/16B, etc. I’ve never run across a product that was too dark/too orange in the lightest shade offered until now. The shade may work for some but to call it “cool” is definitely misleading. I also find that it’s pretty greasy and doesn’t blend well/goes on streaky.
Get It!
Just WOW. Fell victim to Tiktok beauty videos and branched out to try other complexion products but I ALWAYS end up going back to this tinted moisturizer! I don't know what it is but I never crease with it (8+ hours, no primer) or get breakouts either. I have normal skin that gets a bit of shine towards the end of a long day but this moisturizer gives me such a pretty glow! It's also super breathable and doesn't feel like you have anything on your face. I think the coverage is perfect as...
Great pigmentation and for combo to dry skin
I’ve mostly used up my first tube—love the texture, color, spf, and concept. I really enjoyed it to look polished on camera while remote working. However, my skin is too radiant (i.e. oily), and I have to do a layer of powder over applying this (and blot.) Good product, but if you’re oily, you’ll need powder over this. I’m going to keep searching for a more suitable tinted moisturizer or bb/cc item for my skin type, but I’d maybe repurchase because Nars color selection is great.
This is my go to tinted moisturizer! I’ve tried so many others but I always end up coming back to this. It gives me the perfect amount of coverage and make my skin looks natural without being too glowy. My skin gets oilier during the summer and this stays on pretty well with setting powder if I’m wearing it for a long period of time,
Flawless
Perfect and flawless. Minimal coverage. Effortless to spread with fingers. Great color match. Light as air, can't even feel wearing it on my face. Highly recommend.
Love ❤️ it. Great coverage. Very light on face for summer.
oily finish
I live in a very dry region, haven’t had a problem with the other sun screens I use but this one Left my skin very oily. And it Oxidizes pretty bad too.
definitely a good summer choice
I was looking for something that has SPF in it and a lil color to it. This is perfect for the summer it feels light on the skin. The color appears dark but as u apply it it blends in. The best thing about this is that it doesn’t sit on you face oily. NARS also has a sheer glow foundation that’s good for events!
I love this product. I am using this for 5 years and this is my everyday . I will always use and buy this product.
It’s kinda good. Wouldn’t buy again. It oxidates which made me look funny when I went on the sun.
I tried a few different colors but none of them matched my skin tone appropriately. I love Nars & use their liquid foundation so I was disappointed in not being able to find a matching tone. I also did not like the way it felt on my skin but would have given it some time if I had the right tone.
stunning tinted moisturizer
I was shade matched to “marrakesh” in store & this tinted moisturizer has become a fave! so lightweight, soft on the skin & beautiful finish.
LOVE
I love this product. the first time i used it , i applied too much at once so it looked cakey, but now i use small amounts at a time and it looks literally like there is nothing on my face but there is still coverage , so my skin just looks beautiful and u cant tell there is anything on. But not gonna lie it’s really expensive and the amount you receive is not a lot it’s a small bottle but the color matches me perfectly and it works well so i will still continue to buy
New Everyday Staple!
This is liquid gold. I’m an NC50, Fenty 420, and I have oily/combination skin and I wore this in 80+ degree humid heat and it did not crack or budge for over 8 hours. It truly has a radiant finish, and I got so many compliments. I didn’t even have to powder the moisturizer. It set and stayed!
make more cool shades
runs very yellow no matter what shade. it has good coverage which i like but no shades match :(
i was really hoping for something good with this but its so bad. Not only does it oxidize but it alao somehow manages to look cakey I just look terrible when I wear it. Their foundation in sheer glow is my favorite just wish they would make a version with spf considering everything else is just cakey.
Love the way this feels on the skin. The spf is nice. It Deff has more coverage than just a skin tint. Only giving it 4 stars cause it transfers pretty easy on everything and it’s not super good for summer with sweating.
Love it!
This is a great tinted moisturizer. Gives a natural finish, and a nice blur. The SPF is a nice bonus. During the cooler months this held up all day. Hopefully, it will be just as good during the summer.
HOLY GRAIL
I have been using this for at least 5 years and I keep coming back. I’ve tried other BB & CC creams but this one slides on so beautifully and I always get compliments on my skin whenever I wear it. My skin isn’t even blemish-free normally, so that just shows the coverage of this. It doesn’t break me out either, which SPF can sometimes do (also LOVE that this has SPF 30 so I do not have to use as much sunscreen before applying). As a tinted moisturizer, love that the way it sheers out means...
Returned Product
Returned. It’s a thick product that looks oily on my skin. I don’t have oily skin, in fact I have very dry skin. It felt heavy on my skin and didn’t look good at all. It separates when you wear it leaving splotches.
great tinted moisturizer
I love this! It’s soo soft and blends in so well!! Buy it!
Oxidizes too dark/ grey cast
I purchased this because I didn't want to use foundation. I usually use Nars foundations and concealers. So naturally I chose to give this a try. It set to a much darker shade and made my face look...gray.
I use a lot of NARS products so I had high expectations for this one. At first when I put it on there was a gray cast and it didn’t look at all like the color coming out of the bottle when I put it on my face. Definitely beware of the gray tint on darker skin! you have to give yourself enough time for it to settle in or you’ll look casket ready. It’s probably due to the spf though. All in all a decent tinted moisturizer!
Great for accentuating skin tone
Smooth light coverage if looking to just perfect and even out skin tone. Tinted moisturizer has a soft, slightly dewy finish. Natural results. I don't notice any oxidation of color.
