Soft Matte Complete Foundation - 2 Santa Fe

I bought this foundation few months back. I absolutely love the NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation! It gives me a flawless, smooth finish that lasts all day without looking cakey or feeling heavy. As someone with combination skin, I really appreciate how it controls shine without drying me out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this foundation for full coverage. The blend-ability was awesome didn't have to use much. The transfer is minimal. I have vitaligo and it covered all of my spots. It's a little pricey but it is worth it.

This product is the closest match I've found for myself, very fair and just slightly yellow without it turning orange. Doesn't oxidize on me at all. Make sure your skincare routine includes proper moisturizing and exfoliation, as this can cling to dry patches.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having used the Narrs Soft Matte Complete Foundation for six years, I can confidently say it's my go-to choice for clients, and here's why: One of the standout features of this foundation is its **buildability**. Whether I need a soft, natural look or a more dramatic, full-coverage finish, this foundation adapts beautifully. It provides a seamless transition from soft to medium coverage, and then from medium to full coverage, which is essential for tailoring looks to individual preferences and skin types. Another remarkable aspect is its **longevity**. Throughout my makeup sessions, I appreciate how the foundation maintains a fresh appearance without drying out. This quality is crucial, especially during long events or photoshoots where makeup needs to last for hours. What truly sets the Narrs Soft Matte Complete Foundation apart is the **airbrush finish** it delivers. Even with full coverage, the result looks incredibly smooth and polished, avoiding the cakey appearance that can come with heavier foundations. Clients often comment on how lightweight it feels, which is a huge bonus. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend the Narrs Soft Matte Complete Foundation for anyone seeking a versatile, long-lasting foundation that provides a flawless finish. Its ability to cater to varying coverage needs without compromising on comfort or appearance makes it an essential product in my makeup kit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Soft Matte Foundation is surprisingly comfortable! Even though it's called 'matte,' it feels far from drying and actually leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. It gives a beautiful, flawless finish without looking cakey.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] . In my 43 years of wearing foundation I have never seen ME! I was orange, yellow, muddy or pale with other foundations. One drop of the soft matte foundation in Marquises gives me the perfect coverage that allows me to be me.andmatches me perfectly, it's like my skin but flawless.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Emptied 2 bottles and purchased 3rd. It naturally matches my skin tone, gives a coverage as good as using a concealer, and stays matte on my oily skin more than 10 hours. Despite being a little expensive for students, I always recommend this one whenever someone asks for a foundation recommendation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love NARS Soft Matte Foundation! I am 49 y/o and mother to a 7 y/o and was diagnosed with melasma a year after my son was born. I'm not yet menopausal so still using birth control pills. This is the best coverage of you can find the perfect primer/moisturizer combo for your skin. I have combination skin with large pores around my nose and cheek area. I use a moisturizer on my dry areas (cheeks) and a primer on my T-zone, and the (now discontinued) Clinique pore filler, and after a few minutes, I use a dense foundation brush to stipple on one layer of this foundation. I feel like if I put more than one layer, it gets a little cakey on my moisturized and primed skin. It gives me a nice medium coverage over my melasma on my chin, upper lip, and cheeks. I still see some brown shadows on my cheeks but after I apply my bronzer and blush, it's barely noticeable.

I'm normally a big Nars fan and was excited to try this as I've seen lots of MUAs recommend it however I was so disappointed. It looks nice when it's first applied but this does not last long!! By the time I get to work it's separated and looks oily and patchy. I've tried lots of combinations to try and make it work - with and without primer, with and without setting powder but the result is the same regardless. Gutted it's such a waste of money and shocked at how poor quality the product is from a company like Nars.
