NARS radiant Longwear in Oslo: I wore this two days in a row, both times with It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores loose powder underneath and on top.There is also a smell to this foundation not as bad as the Wet'n'Wild Photofocus Foundation, but pretty chemical. in general I found that this didn't wear very well and it oxidized about 1/2 a shade each time I wore it.

I tried to be as fair as possible with each foundation, in terms of the amount I applied, how I applied it, and how long I wore it. I kept notes on my computer with specific dates and times.
