Soft Matte Complete Foundation - Make-up

My new Estée Lauder

I bought this after 15 years as Estée Lauder changed their foundation ( double wear) formula - gutted is an understatement . Someone recommended this as an alternative and I’m so glad! It’s gorgeous on my skin , and doesn’t oxidise!! It only has slight transfer ( I can deal with that ) . Thank god for this foundation. Playing round with the right shade at the min but I’m happy . Only reason it’s not 5 stars is due to the price tag however , it’s going to be my new favourite. Feels gorgeous on the skin and not too heavy .

Absolutely love this 😍 blends like a dream and looks amazing on the skin!

Amazing foundation

I have used this foundation for years, it’s gives a perfect matte base without being flat or dry

Matte but not flat

Thus foundation is beautiful for the more full coverage days , it’s Matte but not flat and gives such a level blurred complexion , highly recommend it wears beautifully all day x

Great base

I bought this foundation for my bridal clients and I can’t look back it gives you that perfect soft matte base that will last all day & evening, layers well with other products.

My new favorite

Ok I was using Charlotte Tilbury and they changed the formula. I looked and looked for something new and stumbled on this I love it, but the color was too light. I will try to match a new color

My holy grail matte

I am very pale with yellow undertones. I have combination skin with an oily T zone. Soft Matte in Siberia is the only foundation I've ever tried that truly matches my skin AND looks flawless all day.

I wouldn't buy again

Color goes on the PERFECT SHADE! I was so excited- after looking at myself in the mirrror an hour later I was shocked to see color had significantly darkened and I looked ridiculous. I also feel likes it gets splotchy looking thru out the day def wouldn't buy again

Product color is non- transferable goes on smoothly

Matte

Matte and long-lasting foundation. I will buy again, good for combination oily skin

Total disappointment

Although it is marketed as Soft Matte, it actually applies fully matte on my skin. Even when I use a primer underneath, after about two hours my chin area completely rejects the foundation — it separates, breaks apart, and looks patchy. I have always used matte foundations, so I specifically wanted to try this NARS formula. I gave it three chances, testing it with different primers, but unfortunately the result was the same every time. I honestly never expected such poor coverage and wear from a brand like NARS. This was a very disappointing experience, especially considering its reputation and price point.

Sticky and matte, goes on unevenly

I don't love this foundation. It goes on unevenly but is very hard to get off. I found it sticky as well. It also shows wrinkles in a way I don't like. Would not buy this one again.
