NARS 光感妆前乳腮红套装 (02802 Wanderlust) (30ml + 7ml + 1.8g)

I bought it because I liked the touch-up service at the store. It naturally tones up my skin and smooths it out. It doesn't contain any pearls, so it's a beautiful base that gives a natural, natural feel. It has a light, smooth texture that spreads easily and blends beautifully with any foundation, so I really like it.

I felt it was similar to Credo's primer. I liked that it has a sheer color that doesn't change the skin tone too much and still has a moisturizing feel.

It's perfect in every way: tone-up, staying power, dryness, tired skin. It doesn't flake even when applied on top of Laro Posé, so it seems like it would be good for summer too.

I love that it not only works well with NARS cushion foundations, but also as a base for other light foundations like the V3 foundation, and it leaves my skin looking beautiful without clashing at all. It has SPF27/PA++, so it's fine to use as sunscreen in the winter, and I plan to use it in conjunction with sunscreen in the coming seasons. I've tried Orbis and Dalba sunscreens, and these don't cause any flaking or build-up, and they work well with various foundations and bases, so I'll reach for them if I'm unsure! However, the cushion foundation is so good that I'm giving it a 5-star rating.

I also purchased a primer to go with the cushion from the same series. Normally, when I buy a new foundation, I don't stick to the same series and I usually just pair it with a primer I already have, but the touch-up looked so good that I bought the primer as well. It turned out to be a great purchase. It's natural, but it definitely brightens and removes dullness from the skin, and it doesn't look dull until the evening or break down in a messy way. I've tried a variety of primers, both affordable and from department stores, but this is the first time I've been so impressed with this one. It's also a little nice that it can be used for 24 months after opening. I'll treasure it.
