My current favorite foundation is currently NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation ($49). I wear Macao which is a medium-dark shade with yellow undertones. I absolutely love this foundation because of its super lightweight formula. I’ve experienced with other foundations they tend to make most of their darker shades with very orange or red undertones. NARS formula is my favorite because they have a medium-dark shade with just the right amount of yellow undertones which is perfect with my skintone. It is a pricier foundation but a little goes a long way. 1 to 2 pumps will give you a natural looking coverage which NARS describes as a luminous matte finish. I also like that if I want to go for a glam look, the foundation is buildable for a more full coverage application but still manages to feel lightweight. What really sealed NARS all day luminous as my favorite foundation was when I wore it while traveling in Southeast Asia during very hot days. This foundation didn’t transfer or budge. It managed to last for over 12 hours through humidity!”
