NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 - Finland 50ml/1.9oz

I spent forever finding the right shade and texture. I do like this stuff. It's a little bit glowy for my liking but I just matte it out with a matte pad and it's perfect 45 yrs.

Excellent

I had been using (and loving) Nars Compact Powder Foundation because I don't like a heavily made up look. Started reading and researching about these new BB creams everyone is talking about and found some great reviews about the Nars Tinted Moisturizer. Although it does not claim to be a "BB" cream per se, I am amazed at the results! I am over 40 and struggling with dry skin in spots and very oily skin in other spots. I liked the Powder foundation because it absorbed the oil but in my drier spots it wasn't so flattering, made me look older than my years. So after reading another review about what shade would work for me (I also chose Finland because my normal powder shade is Deauville), I ordered and am SO happy I did! Let me tell you, I am amazed! I used to liberally apply concealer everywhere from under my eyes to my sun spots, etc. and now I don't have to! I don't know how but I get great coverage from this TM yet my natural skin shows through. It blends well around my eyebrows and hairline as long as I am careful not to use too much, which is tempting because at first you will be afraid you are not using enough - it goes on very sheer. I have been using it for about 2 weeks and my skin has improved considerably, too. I do have to use my regular moisturizer underneath as it is not quite rich enough for my mature skin but then I apply and finish off with translucent loose powder. My skin absolutely glows, even in bright daylight and it is a perfect color match to my skin tone. I am hooked! Once again, Nars saves the day.

Other tinted moisturisers I have tried have given me a sun kissed look, without looking like I'm wearing anything, but this product just didn't do it for me. It felt sticky on the skin and I simply don't like it.

I have very pale skin with freckles, but even this lightest shade is slightly too dark for me. It also has a pronounced yellowness. While this seems to cancel out some of the redness in my cheeks, it clashes with my overall skin color. But to ignore the color, for a moment, it does seem to make my skin (texture and evenness) appear nicer than it is. It doesn't break me out and I'm always pleased to use a product that protects my skin from the sun. Sometimes, I find that it's not moisturizing enough and it starts to "separate" on my face. I've taken to using a moisturizer beforehand, or occasionally combining it with a moisturizer and then applying it. The latter also helps to tone down the color, while still giving light coverage. NARS recently came out with an even lighter shade—Terre Neuve—which has less yellow, more pink. This sounds like it may be better suited for my complexion.
