So a year or so ago, I was in Sephora looking for help with finding my right foundation color. They went through different brands and long speeches of what would be best for my complexion and combination skin. While during this search, I discovered the brand NARS. They have both foundation and tinted moisturizer. I did not know this at first though, so in my mind I'm thinking I'm about to purchase foundation but got tinted moisturizer instead.
Although both can give you coverage, I was looking for a more heavier coverage at the time. I went home and discovered my mistake. After freaking out, I threw the product in one of my bins to never hear from it again. Until recently that is. A few months ago around, September or so, I had run out of foundation and had no funds to replenish my supply. After searching through my extensive makeup library, I discovered the tinted moisturizer.
Still apprehensive, I decided to use it. I ditched my normal brush application and applied it using my hands. The product gave my face a wet look at first, but it was nothing my beauty blender sponge couldn't handle. After I applied my concealer, blush, and bronzer I had never seen a more flawless look. I was highly pleased and ashamed that I had completely written it off in the first place.
Now, I can't see myself living without it! It smooths and gives my skin a healthy glow. Not to mention it does wonders for my skin while on. Plus it gives light to medium coverage so my face isn't weighed down with products. Before I would hate to leave out of the house without any coverage, but after just 3 months of using the product, my skin is healthier and I feel comfortable ditching the makeup all together. It turned out that a horrible mistake can actually be a blessing in disguise. Moral of the story, never judge a tube, compact, and/or jar by its label. Always try things out even if it's not what you originally wanted, you might be surprised.
The NARS brand can be purchased at Sephora, Ulta, or online at narscosmetics.com.
