   I LOVE CREMA NUDA! I am on my second pot right now. Step aside all other foundations. This is my summer favorite for a nude coverage. It is so lignt it’s like skin with a decent bit of imperfection blurring (it does not cover 100% but it tones them down quite a bit without need for concealer). I use it on its own after my makeup routine and primer. The glow in this product is amazing even for textured skin. The one drawback which I would associate with the price is that it does not come with SPF. I would expect for the price tag of USD 120 for a 50 ml pot that it would at least have an SPF 10 or 15. Anyway, I am not disappointed overall. I have invested in the product and will most likely continue.

   I have been wanting to try Crema Nuda for a looong time. I’m a little older and, having had cystic acne and three Accutane courses in my youth, my skin has some challenges. Some scarring on my cheeks, very apparent pores on my nose, some wrinkling now…and pretty dry…have all thwarted me in finding a perfect foundation. Until now!! The SA at Nordie’s provided me with a lovely sample yesterday, and I went directly back for a big one!! Soft and luminous, Crema Nuda gently blurs imperfections, softly covers and leaves the skin moist (not oily) without any trace of looking like make-up. I absolutely love it. Its expensive, and I don’t love the jar (I went for the bottle), but it is ever worth it!!! So highly recommend!!!

   I have fair skin that is mature and on the dry side. This is like a soft light bulb for the skin. It’s more moisturizing than a tinted moisturizer and has light coverage like a CC cream. Although the coverage is light, the glowiness imparted onto the skin is unsurpassed. It melds to the skin so where application starts and ends is imperceptible to my eye. Worth the money if you have dry skin that needs light coverage. I wouldn’t recommend for very oily skin.

   Update: I’ve used this for a week, and it’s irritating and drying out my skin due to the denatured alcohol. Such a shame bc I LOVE the finish.

   I have nothing good to say about this product. Quite possibly the worst product I have ever tried. I was intrigued by the “blurring imperfections” claim. It did not blur anything. The “supreme glow” looks awful and fake. This product made every flaw on my face look 10x worse. Actually made me look older. Applied at 8 am ……. by 11 am I was shocked when I saw what I looked like (I knew something was going on because it just felt “heavy” on my skin) but it was just grease and oil and fake shine. Please get a sample before you purchase. FYI: Face Fabric does blur imperfections and controls oil.

   Having allergies to sun screen products I was very interested in trying this Tinted Moisturizer Treatment Product w/o sun screen. Stopped twice at the department store and received generous samples of three different colors. No. 3,4, and 4.5. Not one of the colors were great to justify the price. My color is Neutral light/medium, not too warm or cool. The coverage is very light, barely evened out my skin color and the finish is not dewy but more flat. The product comes in a large jar which over time would not be very sanitary. A cheaper tube can be had. Over priced and under performed for the promotion of it.

   This is truly the best foundation I have ever used. It goes on beautifully, evens out colour, and never ever looks too “made up”. It is obscenely expensive, but really delivers.

   This is a wonderful tinted skincare / foundation. I have this in #2 and i love the colour as it’s perfect for my NC/NW 15 skintone. The coverage is light to medium and buildable. I use my fingers to apply and it’s great! The finish is luminous but at first it is a tad bit matte for my liking; however after a few hours it gives a nice luminosity to the skin. My makeup just looks so much better with this especially if i want to do wear dark / red lips. It’s the perfect canvas for the fall / winter months! During the summer I still love my (now discontinued) Chanel Les Beige Tinted Fluid in #10. Did i mention that after cleansing this off my skin feels so smooth, supple and plumped? LOVE IT! Will repurchase this!

   Let me start by saying I purchased this in the travel size which is 1 ounce and in a pump bottle instead of the jar same foundation just much better packaging and a normal size. Nordstrom has the travel size.

   First of all, I have 60 plus, dry and sensitive skin. I’ve been on the hunt for a moisturizing and radiant foundation with some decent coverage. I really want a radiant to glowing but not super shiny finish. And of course it has to look like skin, not accentuate pores and wrinkles and of course needs to hold up during the day.

   This foundation hits all the marks. Usually, I can never get a color match in the GA products. I am NW15 in coloring and the 02 Light Glow is a perfect match. I like the creamy feeling so I put it on with my hands and then smooth out with a kabuki brush. It looks so nice – just like skin but much better. From the other reviews I expected this to be light coverage hut I find it more towards medium. I find that my nose gets a bit shiny during the day but it does no matter what foundation I use. The rest of my face just has a really nice glow.

   I can’t say enough good about this foundation. It’s pricey but so worth it for those with mature skin.

   Edit:
   I’ve been using this for a month and still love it. However, I bought a backup for this but the jar instead. I find that the pump has a hard time with the thickness of CN. When I get to the jar, I’ll likely put some in a small jar for daily use. This would be super in a tube. Not as luxurious looking but definitely more functional.

   Alrighty, girls (and lads, should you be reading this…), fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be an expensive flight. I’m (ahem) mature, both dry and oily skin, have suffered my entire life with hormonal cystic acne, and, if that’s not enough, I fight contact dermatitis and skin sensitivities. Yahoo.

   I’d settled, some years back, on Chanel’s positively wonderous Teint Innocence liquid foundation, for ages. But I started having more and more issues with my skin, so, after many years, I switched over to Bare Minerals. It was “okay,” and I didn’t suffer issues iwth it, but, god, I didn’t love it. Fast-forward about 5+ years, and I decided to take a splurge on CN. And holy cow, am I glad I did!

   My reasoning was that even if I didn’t love the CN, I could use it, perhaps, either under/over foundation, to achieve other goals. BUT…I loved it. I got the CN #1, the fairest, and you CANNOT see where I am wearing m/u, versus where I’m not. Period. It’s simply lovely. If you want matte, don’t put it over a dewy moisturizer. I love dewy, so I put mine on over my skincare, using a facial oil (I prefer RMS Beauty or Olio Rosso). It’s simply glorious over oil. I can wear it, alone, and I still look amazing for 61. It definitely evens out wrinkling, too (hard to hate that!). You can build coverage via layering, if you wish.

   Buy the “travel size” if you feel uncertain (about $80usd), or look for the Premium samples, to try it. If you want a bit more coverage, the GA lines offer other options in foundation that are cheaper than this. BUT, those are not BB/CC/Moisturizer/Foundations that will ALSO improve your skin.

   As always, YMMV, but if you want to try to rock a “no-makeup” makeup, this is for you. Want to glam up? This also does that. I wear it, again, over the facial oil and over Burberry’s Fresh Glow liquid primer. Do that, add some concealer for undereye (if needed), a cream blush, eye m/u and you can amp up to a fashion model m/u. If you like it, it’s one-size-fits-all, in terms of dressing up or doing the girl-next-door. Highly versatile, works in daylight and the darkest clubs. So far, hasn’t broken me out, or any negative side effects–just BETTER Skin. How many “foundations” can say that?

   Good luck!

    Sigh. I really, really like Armani foundations.Face fabric (now discontinued) was a staple for years. I still go back to Luminous Silk (#6) periodically. Maestro was a game changer for me,but has been replicated by several companies for a great deal less than the Armani version.As I get older, and with our sub-zero temperatures, the dry oil formulation of the maestros has begun to look too dry;it clings to the dry patches and sits a bit on top of the skin.

    I don’t mind paying a lot for something that works. The cost of the Crema Nuda is, frankly, insane. I know it’s a big vat, but still-$200?????

    Then, I got a sample on Ebay-actually, two sample tubes in Medium Glow.The product looked very orange on my hand, and I thought, Thank God, this isn’t going to work.Then I dotted it on, spread it with the RT Expert face brush, and….wow.It looked like perfect skin. Melted in, medium to light coverage,played very well with the Cle concealer in ochre. I used it on an at home day while I was painting walls-and seven hours later it was still perfect.

    The cons? The damn price. Also, no sunscreen. The product delivers, however. I can’t think of a dupe for this (nor for luminous silk.) I would consider this as a full purchase, only if I behaved and used up everything else I had. I wish it weren’t so good. Medium Glow was perfect for my NC40, Chanel 40 Beige coloring. Please, someone make a dupe.

    EDIT:

    It is too peach (medium glow.) This will be easier to use in the summer. For now, I went back to Luminous Silk in “6” ; I actually think this is a better (smoother, more skin-like) foundation.The Crema Nuda is gorgeous, don’t get me wrong,but the luminous Silk has comparable finish and coverage.
