Review: Acne B Damned! - I have struggled for 25 years w/blemishes of the acne persuasion. A few months ago for Christmas my Mother gave me Murad, which worked wonders. NO I was not payed to say that, but I would gladly pay them just for the permission to shout it from the rooftops. Everything was fine, until I applied makeup. I soon began to see, w/each foundation application [w/sterilized or new brushes/sponges to avoid cross contamination to skin} my face looked angry with me and freshly broken out before the end of the day. Lancome, Prescriptives, mineral makeup, one expensive product after another ruining my wallet, breaking me out, and cluttering my bathroom like a row of deepest regrets... until I met Mr. Nars foundation. This product is a revelation in a bottle. Excellent buildable coverage, subtle coloring to match and mimic healthy nude skin, and the best part of all, no more angry breakouts. I am a fair skin olive bi racial woman, and finding the right shade, let alone non irritating has been the bane of my existence for the better part of my adult life. Never, ever, have I had it so good in the match department. When I wear Nars, people actually compliment my skin, and not my makeup. Stunning! Mac 40/42 winter/summer, is officially Syracuse/Tahoe now! And I'm so sincerely, over the moon in love enough, that I propose marriage to my foundation regularly!
Review: Finally!! - I have searched for years for the right foundation for my complexion. I went to the NARS website to get advice on the right color for me. They asked for my picture, then responded with the Sheer Matte foundation in New Orleans. I ordered on desertcart because I had an electronic gift card, so I figured I had nothing to lose if it didn't work. The color was much lighter than I usually used and it made me very skeptical. However, when I used it for the first time.....I was amazed. It blended into my skin and it truly looked like I had flawless, even-toned, not made up skin. That has never occurred with any foundation I have tried in the past. When used exactly as directed, it glides on perfectly and stays put. I have never been so impressed with a foundation as I am with this one. I almost want to order another so I don't run out. You truly do get what you pay for. This is very pricey, but worth every dime! Ladies of color, when you choose the right color with this brand, you will not regret it. Make the investment!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite foundation!!!
*by A***R on April 15, 2016*

By far my favorite foundation ever!! I'm of darker complexion which makes it harder to find foundation my color but Khartoum is the perfect fit, it Applies on evenly with full coverage all day and you only need 1 to 2 pumps. I would advice to purchase from Amazon because Nars store sells for way more. The con bout this foundation is the bottle doesn't come with a pump. Which means you have to purchase it separate. Other than that I'm in love.
