On the other hand, Luminous Silk is a better match – perhaps a little too olive-y (see below) – but also caters to a wide range of shades and undertones. Having spoken to many friends and from reading other blogs – many people cannot find their exact match with NARS. Stromboli is my closest match but I often have to mix it with either lightening drops or other foundations to achieve my perfect colour. Whilst NARS cater to a variety of shades and undertones and as someone with a warm complexion I was surprised to find that the yellow undertone shades are actually too yellow for me.
I have to say the Luminous Silk is a better match for me here. I am the shade Stromboli in NARS and number 6 in the luminous silk. However, having tried and tested the two foundations over a long period of time, I thought it would be useful to compare and contrast. As a long-standing fan of NARS Sheer Glow, I was recommended by many to try the Luminous Silk foundation and promised to be a convert. These are two foundations that have received a LOT of hype.
