My new boyfriend....

I've had to do some homework recently, and I have found Nars foundation to be awesome. They group the shades into Light Medium Med/Dark and Dark then number the levels within that group. Smart. Like, I am a Light 2, or Montblanc. Easy. They have three types of liquid foundation based on skin type and they have all have a buildable coverage.
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
is for a normal to dry skin. An old buddy of mine pointed out that there is no pump on this formulation so I did some digging. Turns out they want you to apply it l1980's style; middle finger over opening, shake, then dot on face with said finger. No brushes allowed. Thus no pumpy pumpy.


NARS Firming Foundation Liquid is for more mature skin that wants some age control shit in there. It has some peptide nonsense that Shiseido labs came up with for Nars that increease collagen production. Skin will look less wrinkley and firmer. This one has a pump, but should still be applied with fingers.


Finally, for oily combination skin, NARS Sheer Matte Foundation should do the trick. Also, artist note: this is the one you want to use for HD camera jobs. Although I am still unclear about what makes HD makeup different. Will have to ask some probing questions.
