Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation First Impression + Review

This is the first time I've ever done a first impression/review of something! I'm obsessed with buying foundations at the minuet. I got a sample of the new Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation and when I tried it I knew I was going to buy it but I wanted to find the right colour and give it the foundation test, a day at work. I got another sample of the shade Light 5 Fiji. So let's start by telling you about the foundation.

'Its a full, natural looking coverage with unexpectedly weightless, 16 hour wear. Highly pigmented and perfectly balanced, this breakthrough formula builds and blends effortlessly with just one drop-- Even Tone Technology is designed to instantly neutralize redness and dullness, while working long term to reduce the appearance of discolouration for more even uniform skin'
The first time I saw it I was a little shocked, because it's very runny. When I felt it and heard it was full coverage I was like, no it can't be, but I took a sample and tried it. So what I did was use this foundation with all the other makeup I normally used and tested it out on a really busy Sunday on the mac counter! I applied it and 9.30 am and kept a check on it throughout the day and wrote in my notes what I thought. When I applied it first in the morning I thought it went on lovely and had beautiful coverage, I used my Neal's Yard Remidies Power Berry Daily Moisture and MAC Natural Radience Primer under. Half way through doing my makeup I noticed my forehead got a little bit shiney, I have very oily skin but I don't mind a little shine/glow to the skin, so I just set my forehead with MakeUp Forever HD powder. With everything on once I'd finished my makeup it looked beautiful! It had a luminous glow to it without being sticky and it felt really light on the skin. 
I didn't get another chance to look at it properly until 3 o'clock, it was still looking really nice with a nice glow. I only noticed it had wore of my nose a little bit, but i'm very oily on my nose so it was expected. But it still looked good and everyone was complimenting me on how good my skin looked. I finished work at 6 pm. It still looked really nice, it had a glow but my forehead was quite shiny but nothing I was to bothered about. Work was really busy and it was really hot. It hadn't wore off anywhere else on my face, except on my nose like I said before. The last time I checked on it was 9.30pm. The foundation was on my face for 12 hours. I was very shiny, which was obviously going to happen, I didn't really have a problem with it because any foundation I have used I've always been shiny after 6/8 hours. Overall I really loved this foundation. It was a flawless, full coverage foundation with a very lightweight feel to it. I loved the finish of it and it wore well throughout the day, especially since I'd been at work all day. I do think it would be good for all skin types. It is probably better for normal/combination skin it did cling to the few dry patches I had on my nose (I've been ill, blowing my nose has mad it a little dry) so maybe not for dry skin, if you are dry and wanted to wear it I think if you moistureised and primed you'd be fine, for oily skin if you don't like shine setting it would be fine aswell! I was really happy with the colour. Nars claims it can do the entire face with just one pump, personally I don't agree, I like to used a few pumps because it only drops out a tiny bit. I bought it the next day (i'm waiting for it to come in the post that's why I used a picture off the @narsissit Instagram)!
If you like post like this let me know because I have the new Chanel Perfection Lumière Velvet which I've not tried yet. So if you'd like me to do a first impression on that just let me know on one of my posts!
