In the world of makeup, finding a base that enhances your skin while providing coverage can be a challenge. As a makeup novice, I take advantage of free makeup classes at my local Sephora. Even though I keep beauty essentials in the office, a base is not one. That’s where the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer comes in.
Known for its ability to deliver a more even-toned complexion, this lightweight oil-free formula has gained a dedicated following. If you’ve been looking for a black girl-friendly tinted moisturizer, here are some features, benefits, and my overall NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer review.
NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Description
YOUR SKIN—ALMOST BARE, BUT BETTER. The oil-free coverage provides a translucent veil of color and sun protection while helping to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots, clearing up the look of your skin in just four weeks.
Infused with lush, botanicals and ingredients to immediately help thirsty skin feel hydrated. Ingredients like French Polynesian Kopara and mineral-rich seawater help to revive and re-mineralize skin for a softer, smoother, and brighter natural glow.
NARS Tinted Moisturizer Benefits
Hydrates and smooths dry skin
The NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer also offers skincare benefits. Enriched with botanical extracts like Kopara, a Polynesian seaweed extract, and mineral-rich sea water, it nourishes and hydrates the skin.
These ingredients help to improve the overall texture and suppleness of your skin, ensuring it stays moisturized throughout the day.
Variety of Shades
NARS understands the importance of inclusivity, and the Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is available in an extensive shade range. From fair to deep skin tones, there’s a shade for everyone. The range offers options with warm, neutral, and cool undertones, making it easier for individuals to find their perfect match.
Longevity and Wear
While the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is not marketed as a long-wearing product, it holds up remarkably well throughout the day. With a good primer and setting powder, it stays put for a decent amount of time, even in humid conditions. For oily skin types, a touch-up may be required, but overall, it maintains a fresh appearance without creasing or settling into fine lines.
Suitable for Various Skin Types
Whether you have dry, combination, or normal skin, the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer caters to a variety of skin types. Its hydrating properties make it particularly suitable for dry skin, providing a boost of moisture without emphasizing dry patches. Those with oily or combination skin may benefit from setting the product with powder for a longer-lasting matte finish.
