Customer Reviews

  • Prompt delivery with a great value

    This is the second time I have bought this makeup for my wife... She loves it. It arrived on time and at a great price!

  • As good as it always has been

    I had a hard time finding this product ... Borghese isn't in as many dept. stores as it used to be, much to my dismay. This particular foundation had become my favorite - creamy but not so creamy that it caused a breakout. I'm old enough to need a somewhat heavier foundation but my skin is sensitive. Great coverage (not cake-y) and light feel.

NARS The Multiple

From NARS Cosmetics , NARS Face , Blush

Nars The Multiple is the original all-in-one, cream-to-powder, multi-purpose makeup stick. With fingertip application, The Multiple highlights, sculpts, and warms eyes, cheeks, lips, and body in an array of shades from sheer accents to mauve and bronze.

Customer Reviews

  • I was skeptical of using a cream stick, but this blends beautifully. I use it for cheek and eye color. It goes on light, but gives a nice healthy color with a little shimmer. Great item!

  • Generally, I prefer cream blush over powder blush or bronzer because I think it lasts longer. For some reason, though, there aren't many decent cream blush products on the market. The best product I've ever found is the Too Faced Flushed Blush stick, which unfortunately was discontinued and is becoming hard to find.

    In search of a substitute, I ventured into Sephora, where a sales associate recommended the Nars Multiple. I selected the Multiple in Maui, and although I'm pretty happy with it, I still prefer the Too Faced product. For one thing, although the Multiple can be used on eyelids, lips, and cheeks, I'm really only interested in it as a blush. I also prefer matte makeup, and the Maui Multiple is a bit too shimmery for my taste, even though the sales associate I spoke with said it was one of the less-shimmery shades. The product does glide on super smoothly and blends easily, but I don't think the color lasts as long as the Too Faced Flushed Blush stick. The Multiple is expensive, but I've had mine for a while now, and it this rate, it will probably last me the next 50 years, which justifies the high price.

    I may try the Multiple in another shade and hope for the best, but in the meantime, I'm still going to keep searching for a better cream blush product.

  • I have used Nars for years and have been happy with many of their products, this however is not one of them. The texture of the stick is very very dry which made the product go on very unevenly. I would not purchase this product again--surprised at the lack of quality.

    the present skin perfector

    the present formula was originally created for the medical market to give patients with bumpy or irregular skin a smoother skin surface. this product lays down a smoother layer of "second skin" that smoothes out skin irregularities and fine lines.

    the present is essentially a "clear makeup" for flawless skin. it is formulated to be used as a last step prior to any makeup to form an invisible barrier that "seals in" moisture for chronically dry skin and active ingredients from treatment products. it keeps out harmful environmental elements by acting like an invisible band-aid. it also contains lysozyme, a natural antimicrobial agent to keep skin radiantly "clear."

    you need this product if:

    you want to "pave the surface" of your skin for your foundation or powder

    you want a protective layer to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out

    you want to look 100% better, wearing 50% less makeup

    you enjoy an oil free moisturizer

    your skin is oily or prone to break-out

    you do a lot of air travel and need to "seal in" your moisturizer.

    Ingredients: water (agua), cyclomethicone, behenyl alcohol, dimethiconol, cetyl dimethicone, lysozyme, sodium citrate, peg-12 dimethicone, peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone, lavendula augustifolia (lavender) oil, propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, propylparaben.

    • i used variety of diffent primers..

      and this one does make my skin feel minty-fresh as i put it on.

      but after 2mins(like the direction says) it drys out ;

      i whether recommend you M.A.C primer

    • Great product! It does not make my skin break-out AND after applying I don't need foundation! It gives your skin an air-brushed look, minimizes pores, evens skin tone, etc. Word of caution: Make sure your face is COMPLETELY dry and use a smaller amount than you think you need.

    • I purchased this in hopes to smooth out the tiny pores on my nose.

      It works like magic! This time of year I am a self tanner. I put on my self tan first to a clean face. Wait for it to dry. Then I put on my Philosophy The Present Clear Makeup. You have wait two full minutes, then you can apply foundation if you like. I use a tinted moisturizer and follow with Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil.

      This stuff will fill in your pores and leave your face looking very smooth. Before I did not enjoy seeing my face up close because of those pores...you know what I am talking about, those things you see when you are in great lighting and looking into your compact! With this product you can not see them, I am amazed!!!

      I have had no adverse reactions to this product and I have been using it over a month now. My skin is normal to dry.

      I had tried a sample of this product before purchasing. When I finally ordered, I was a little saddened that Philosophy had removed the wonderful lavender-like fragrance. It has zero smell.

      I am a Product Junkie - I highly recommend this one!!! Don't forget to try their cleanser also, Purity Made Simple. It is the BOMB. Very mild and works fantastic.

    • I had seen them use this product on QVC and I was interested in it. Finally broke down and got it and I must say this product delivers! It made my very sensitive skin smooth out and just glow. My pores look so much smaller. The redness in my face is gone. For a quick out the door in a hurry look, this one is the best.

    • After reading the positive reviews of this primer, I was excited to try it out before my upcoming wedding. I used it as directed and liked the results. My make-up lasted all day without touch-ups. My skin was in good condition, but after about 2 weeks of daily use of this product, my chin broke out with large, swollen pimples that were deep under the surface. I stopped using the product and my chin has since cleared up. Is this a scientific study? No, but it is my experience. I may consider using it when I get married, but I will be trying other primers also.
