Not too luminous, didn't last all day - still really nice though
Don't get your hopes up for a super dewy formula, I'm not entirely sure where NARS got "luminous" from. They came out with this formula to replace the Sheer Matte formulation. It's definitely an improvement.
First off, there's a pump!
When I was able to pick my shade, I chose Deauville. It is a little yellow upon first glance but I find it counteracts any redness in my complexion.
My skin is dry and with primer, it didn't cling to my dry patches too much. It was by no means necessary painfully obvious. It concealed my pores and didn't emphasize any of my blemishes.
I wouldn't say it lives up to an all day claim. I was about to Skype with my boyfriend and I noticed after about six hours of wear my t-zone was a little shiny. That never happens with my Amazonian clay foundation.
For the price, $56 CAD, I was expecting to be blown out of the water. My socks weren't rocked off but I wouldn't say I'm unimpressed.
