Fenty Beauty or Nars Foundation

Hello my fabulous people!

 

So my question/topic for today is Which foundation do you prefer?

 

So I recently purchased the new NARS radiant foundation, I bought it off the amazing reviews I saw and how it looked on others. My sister, who happens to be a makeup artist, color matched me. Now Inside sephora the color pay off was exquisite; I had on no concealer or color corrector (which I dont really need). Now comparing to my fenty, I originally bought fenty when it first came out, the woman who color matched me was way off she matched me with 430, which has too much of a red undertone. The way the foundation went on and stayed was perfect just wrong color which had me step away from fenty for a few.  After realizing the color was wrong, im no makeup artist, but as a good science/math teacher once taught me, everything in life relates to these two lol. I color matched myself and was backed up by 2 amazing makeup artist who said omg yes youre a 400 in fentybeauty this is an exact match (flips hair) lol after just trying a few samples I begin to have a face off between $50 nars and $34 fenty and what each does for me.  With my smashbox primerizer used with both foundations, I took in all the feedback I got for both foundations. I had be hearing that fenty doesnt stay on long that you have to reapply, that it breaks down, ive heard that nars radiant isnt that radiant, that its like sheer glow, and doesnt break down its truly 16hr wear.  Now for the test, I went out last fri and sat, one to a concert to see the sexy handsome miguel, and sat to a bar/club wearing nars with my primer (which happens to be very light weight) fri i did it with smash box, sat I did it with a mac primer. I wasnt wearing the nars for 16 hrs, however both nights my skin looked very oily and I have normal healthy skin. With two top of the line primers. Now this weekend St pattys day, I tried nars again, I wasnt crazy about the way it looked when I first applied it either, it gave an ashy look to me. Sunday I decided to switch and wear my fenty, took tons of pix in the natural bright sunlight.  THE VERDICT IS IN!  Baby I dont know if it has to do with the genetic makeup or the true health of your skin, but FENTY BEAUTY kicked Nars radiant A**!!!!!! For starters fenty applied better and blended PERFECTLY  I mean when I applied it to my skin it was like i was applying my skin with out the tiny imperfections lol. They both feel light weight however, my skin by the end of sunday didnt look like I wiped oil on my face, also when I woke up this morning (because I was too tired to was my face sunday night) my makeup still looked flawless, with a slight dewy appeal to it. no cakey build up either.  When I hear ppl saying fenty beauty breaks down I had to remember the first one I bought never broke down it was just the wrong color; and personally I feel my fenty looks far more radiant than NARS radiant claims to be.  Now I understand others may have a diff experience but as for me im sticking with the foundation that got me the most compliments and thats FENTY BEAUTY!!!!

Good for you! Fenty is far better than Nars.  I like Nars' concealer but their foundation is too cakey on me!
