The Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation is about as user-friendly as a full-coverage formula can get - the liquid is silky and blends beautifully, which meant I found I had quite a lot of time to move it around and buff it in before the foundation set for good. I'm generally someone who prefers a buildable, light-to-medium foundation, but as a makeup-lover and former dancer, I can appreciate a good full-coverage formula when I try one (and I've tried a lot in my 11 years as a beauty editor).

Additionally, the foundation contains another type of powder that helps absorb excess oil on the skin's surface, leaving your skin looking matte and helping the foundation last longer (the brand promises this new formula offers 16-hour wear).

It's on the drier side, which means it sets and stays, however, it's still sheer and creamy enough that it blends seamlessly - you don't know where the concealer ends and your skin begins. It's a cream formula that can be applied sheerly or packed on for full, spot-concealing opacity. It's been part of my makeup routine ever since it launched in 2013. I'm one of those megafans of the Soft Matte Concealer ($30). ![]() Named after the brand's bestselling, much-beloved concealer of the same name - a product nearly every makeup artist we know rates and has in their kits - it's no surprise that expectations for the foundation version of Soft Matte were high.
