Nars foundation advice

[HarryPotterwhatarotter]

Can anyone offer some shade advice, please?

I currently wear Lily Lolo China Doll which is just about perfect for me colour-wise. I've also worn MAC NW15 which is a reasonable match.

I wanted to try something light for a couple of hot holidays this year so I bough Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser in Finland (lightest) and it's much too dark.

Can anyone recommend a shade of the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation that might suit instead? Thanks!

Hopeful bump to add that I don't have a store nearby where I can try the products in person.

Pretty much impossible to do without having you and the foundation in front of us. It's not just about shade, but tones (red, yellow etc), features, even hair colour can make a difference.

Try the Foundation site

Thanks - I hadn't heard of Foundation before. It has suggested the shade Siberia and I've ordered a sample from eBay.

Findation! 🤭

OP, there's a slightly lighter shade in the tinted moisturiser. I was playing with them in store yesterday.

I'd suggest you'd be the lightest shade in sheer glow too but a tinted moisturiser is more forgiving if the shade is a bit off so I'd suggest going with that if you can.

I think Siberia will be too yellow if you're NW in Mac. Mont Blanc would be my suggestion

I didn't realised there was a lighter shade of the tinted moisturiser - thanks, I'll look into that.

I had a moment of doubt after I ordered Siberia and added a sample of Mont Blanc too so I'm glad to see your suggestion, YesQueen. Thanks!

I agree with YesQueen - I’m NW15 in Mac and Mont Blanc in NARS longwear and sheer glow.

I find NARS too yellow.

In summer I can use Finland as I’m a bit tanned (and I use it because I adore the texture and durability). Otherwise I use Givency Teint Couture Balm in the non-tanned months.

That sounds hopeful for Mont Blanc then, Syril Thanks!

I like the Temptalia foundation matrix for matching up foundations, it’s usually spot on.

If you’re NW15 then you need Mont Blanc in the foundation, and Terre-Neuve in the Moisturiser.
