Happy Sunday babies. I hope you all have been doing well. I took off the month of February due to the fact I received a promotion at work and I have been busy training. It is my birthday month and I am so excited for this next decade I am entering. Okay, let’s get into it ya’ll. Spring is right around the corner and I am looking forward to the warm weather. Ya girl has been purchasing new tinted moisturizers and foundations left and right. I am trying to be that dewy little goddess I was born to be. I have been in to the minimalist makeup trend lately. I want foundations and tinted moisturizers that give me that skin like look and I have been achieving that!
I used the NARS tinted moisturizer back in 2017 but I was not sold on it. I think I was just stuck in that 2016 era where we wore full coverage foundation and the eyebrows spoke for themselves. Fast forward to 2023, I rarely wear makeup but baby when I do, I want it minimal but dewy as possible. Unfortunately, this tinted moisturizer was a fail for me. Now, ya’ll know I have sensitive skin and this product irritated my skin. The coverage was beautiful and it gilded on the skin perfectly. I purchased the shade “Marrakesh” which was a totally different shade I used in 2017. I think NARS has been rebranding which I have mixed feelings about. The shade I previously used was “Seychelles.” In my personal opinion, it was a better match but they do not sell that shade anymore. It also did not irritate my skin either.
Back to “Marrakesh!” The color match was good but it did leave a bit of a grey hue which I assume was from the SPF in the product. This tinted moisturizer had good light coverage, better than other tinted moisturizers I have tried in the past. It did reek of chemicals which can be an unpleasant smell. Overall, this product would be great for someone who has dry or normal skin that wants to brighten up their face. If you prefer medium coverage foundations, this product is not for you. If you have acne prone, oily, or sensitive skin, proceed with caution. I suggest going to Nordstrom or Sephora to get samples before purchasing this tinted moisturizer. This will be awesome to purchase for Spring and Summer. Less is more during the warmer months and that is what this tinted moisturizer is giving. They do not have a big shade range option either, so you may not be able to find a color match.
Have any of you tried this product? If so, how do you like it?
