I am so in love with this product I went back for the lighter (and better match to my Winter/Spring skin) shade in Martinique!
NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer in Martinique
Its like every MAC counter automatically sells us NW45 right off the bat. Please list the foundation shades that you have matched PERFECTLY. If you have a foundation shade that is off (too red, too orange, too dark, to light) PLEASE mention that it was off. Sep 26, 2010 I was at the MAC, Gurgaon store the other day and i saw this girl who was obviously buying her first foundation from MAC, struggle with finding her skin tone. The poor thing was swatching everything from an NC 15 to an NW 45!
Martinique (which is an island in the Caribbean and yes I was geeky enough to look it up) is described by NARS as a medium-dark with red undertones. If you wear NARS Sheer Matte/Glow in Cadiz or New Guinea, or NW40 – NW45 in MAC foundations or Make Up For Ever Velvet Mat+ in 70 – 75, this shade is a good color match.
If you’ve read through my review of NARS Tinted Moisturizer in the Polynesia shade, you know how impressed I am with this product. While I loved Polynesia, it really is too dark for my Winter skin (though it did give me a gorgeous summer bronzed look!). After a trip to my local Sephora where they’d just gotten these in stock, one of the sales associates picked out Martinique for me straight away. I took a sample home and was so impressed how well this shade matched my skin that I bought the full size. Free share online promo codes for doubledown casino.
For reference, Seychelles was too yellow in tone though the shade did match and Malaga was also very yellow and obviously too light for me. Cuba was also too light. Also while these colors were too light, the yellow tones were more apparent and the color didn’t look ‘ashy’ on me–just an undertone mismatch.
So let’s get to some picspam of NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer in Martinique!

By now you’re probably wondering how Martinique compares to Polynesia and of course, I’ve got you covered there. Polynesia is more of a dark chocolate as compared to the milk chocolate color of Martinique. The picspam speaks for itself.

I’ve had Polynesia for about a month and Martinique for about two weeks and my impression of this product has only gotten better. Make calls from mac using android. I’ve noticed (and other people have too) how my skin is improving with the consistent use of this product. A few acne scars that I had been covering up with concealer have begun to fade noticeably and I’ve got this nice glow going on! Another added benefit is this product has no artificial fragrance and neither is the natural fragrance overpowering. https://downxfil684.weebly.com/blog/how-to-win-at-the-casino-slot-machines.
