I Just Tried a Full Face of Nars Makeup—These Are the Products I'll Buy Again

Possibly the most famous product from the brand, the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation is a bestseller for a reason. If you know me, you'll know that I tend to favour a skin tint over a foundation (I'm a big fan of the Nars tinted moisturiser for day-to-day use); however, this is one of the only foundations that I could see myself wearing daily.

Why? It feels incredibly lightweight on the skin, yet manages to deliver impressive coverage, reducing redness and minimising any blemishes that I may have. It has a wonderfully natural, luminous finish, but isn't too glowy for oily skin types. It can occasionally cling to dry patches, but this is nothing that a good moisturiser beforehand can't fix. If you're looking for a new base product to see you through both day and night, I highly suggest checking out the 40 shades on offer.

Nars really is known for its base products, and another of the brand's bestsellers is the Radiant Creamy Concealer. I am incredibly fussy when it comes to concealers, but even I can't deny how good this is.

As the name suggests, it has a beautifully creamy consistency that blends into the skin like a dream. It does feel a little thicker than other concealers I have tried before, but because of this, it delivers really impressive coverage. Not only does it help to blur imperfections, but similar to the foundation, it adds a naturally glowy finish and lasts for hours. Yes, even under the eyes.

This bronzer gives me such nostalgia. When I was growing up, this was the product everyone used for a sun-kissed finish. The thing is, the bronzer is so good that I still use it to this very day.

The powder formula is incredibly pigmented, so a little goes a long way, but it's perfect for adding a hint of warmth to your makeup look. I would usually use a separate product to contour my face, but this powder is so seamless that it makes light work of subtly sculpting my complexion. The finely milled powders add this soft-focus effect that I can't get enough of, and although it doesn't contain any shimmer, it still helps to add a natural glow. If I could only buy one Nars product for the rest of my life, this would be it.

Speaking of glow, now that party season is here, I know I will be reaching for this illuminating powder on the daily. Part of the Nars 2025 Christmas collection, this product can be used on both the face and body for a subtle hint of shimmer.

I'd actually sworn off powder highlighter products as I felt that cream formulas looked a lot more natural on my skin; however, since testing this out, I've been converted. It doesn't have that dreaded glittery finish; instead, it relies on light-relecting pigments to add a silky, pearlescent shine.

One product category that Nars really excels at is blush. The brand's powder blush is pretty much an icon at this point; however, they have since released liquid and cream versions that are just as good. If you're not sure which one to try, I highly recommend giving this holiday collection a go, which contains all three variations in the popular Dolce Vita shade.

I'll be honest, I'm a big blush person, so while these products can be used separately, I prefer to layer them for a statement finish. I like to start with The Multiple, a multi-purpose makeup stick, which adds a gorgeously sheer flush to the cheeks, before finishing things off with the powder formula to add a vibrant pop of colour.

This eyeshadow palette is one of those products that I will never travel without. It's compact enough to pop in my handbag, but it contains just the right amount of eyeshadows to create a range of different looks.

The warm pink and golden tones perfectly complement other products from the brand (especially the Orgasm blush), and the mix of matte and shimmery finishes feels perfect for this time of year. The best part? These eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented but also easily blendable. Whether I want a soft, smoky eye or a winged liner look, I know I can rely on this palette every single time.

When I first heard about this volumising mascara, I was convinced I wouldn't like it. I favour a long, fluttery eyelash look, and this sounded like the sort of formula that was going to add serious volume instead. While it certainly does deliver on volume, it does so in a soft, defined and delicate way.

The larger wand manages to coat my lashes from root to tip without any clumps, and if you do want a super voluminous finish, the buildable formula will work in your favour, too.

No makeup look would be complete without a little bit of lip gloss, and the Nars Afterglow Lip Shine is a personal favourite of mine. It feels hydrating, with a high-shine finish that doesn't disappear the minute you eat or drink something. When I want a more statement finish, I like to pair it with the Precision Lip Liner. As the name suggests, this lip liner is ideal for creating a sharp lip look, and I'm always amazed by the long-lasting colour.
