As always, Nars doesn't disappoint. Pure Radiant's consistency is thicker than your average tinted moisturizer, but it goes on incredibly light and dries to a semi-transparent finish. It's so perfect for our weather!

The tube is pretty small, but a little amount goes a long way. It yields a light to full coverage, depending on how much you put on your face. It's also very pigmented, and it can cover minor skin discolorations.

Annapurna is described as a "medium shade with a naturally peachy undertone", but I find that it suits me well in spite of its peach undertone. In fact, it looks a bit yellow on me. Nars' Pure Radiant shades are very friendly to morena and dark- skinned ladies, so it's impossible that my skintone sisters won't find their perfect match. There are shades for fair- skinned ladies too, although a bit limited to two or three selections. Despite the limited shade range, I don't find this a problem because Nars curates the best shade selections in my opinion.

Bare skin w/ Shu Uemura's UV Underbase

With Nars' Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer

Notice that it gave my skin a transparent glow. It feels very luxurious, and the product hydrates my skin upon contact, albeit it takes time to dry. So my advise, don't put a lot. In case you need to layer it on, apply gradually and thinly.

Set with Flawless' Forever Sheer Powder

Perfect shade match! I love it!

Staying power is pretty good, especially if you set it well. My skin looks bare, but better.

I recommend it to just about anyone because it's a power product: It hydrates, oil- free, reduces hyper pigmentation with continued use, has SPF 30, lightweight, and covers well like foundation.

I would certainly buy this again!
