Hello there! I recently purchased this beautiful foundation in Oslo and absolutely LOVE the formula, wear and undertone of it! However, I noticed it's just a bit too light for me. I really don't want to return it. Could I mix it with another shade to bring up the color depth about one more shade? I really want to keep the gorgeous cool undertone. If so, please recommend which shade. (I had my eye on Deauville as a possibility...)
- Asked by themarma
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased you love our foundation! You are absolutely correct, to deepen OSLO just slightly, DEAUVILLE would be a great choice -- you can also mix and match the ratio of both as your skin becomes more sun kissed in the warmer months! --Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Hi. I just ordered the Nars light reflecting foundation. I have combination skin. I have Dry patches but I also have an oily T-zone. Would it be ok if I moisturize first, and then use elf suntouchable whoa glow primer before adding this foundation?
- Asked by Krit
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your interest in NARS Cosmetics. Yes, you can absolutely use a mattifying primer to focus on keeping thew Tzone shine-free! We recommend NARS Soft Matte Primer to ensure it working synergistically with your foundation. -- Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Help picking a shade? I am torn between yulong and mont blanc, but am open to other suggestions as well. I currently wear estee lauder double wear shade 1n1 for full coverage days, nars soft matte complete concealer in vanilla for spot concealing, and makeup forever super boost skin tint in shade 2 for lighter coverage days. Any advice on which shade to choose?

My first Nars
I'm in love. This is my first Nars foundation purchase and it's gorgeous on my skin. I did a shade match and it was spot on. Flawless and lightweight. Wore it for 11 hours and it didn't move and was not oily. I'm in the shade Deep 5 Zambie. It definitely makes your skin glow in a healthy way.

Great coverage
I had the opportunity to ty the NARS light reflecting foundation. The color didn't match me the way other foundation do, but it did provide great coverage without more than a dime-quarter size amount. The foundation didn't cake at all and didn't run after a spin work out. Overall, I think it's a gre...

Truly Amazing Foundation
I tried this foundation bc of great reviews and it did NOT disappoint. It made my 61 year old skin look amazing - great coverage, with just a hint of dewiness. I have light skin with warm tone & rosacea so it can be hard to match - the Ulta employee was wonderful and used Lima (the color swatch online is really off). It really is buildable coverage sheer to full, depending on application.
Hmmm
I appreciate the color and non scent it holds a tad bit too mineral-ly for me to love it.
Best foundation on the market!!
This is my all-time favorite foundation (and I have a lot including Haus Labs, Charlotte Tilbury, & Giorgio Armani to name a few). The finish is absolutely beautiful — it looks like real skin but better. It blurs pores and texture without being matte or heavy, and gives the perfect natural glow without looking oily or shiny. The coverage is buildable and never cakey, and it wears incredibly well throughout the day without breaking apart. It truly melts into the skin and makes my complexion look smooth, even, and healthy. I always come back to this one no matter what else I try
My 37 year old fine lines LOVE this foundation!
On my 37-year-old skin, this is pretty glorious. It's light, but you can build it where you need more coverage. It layers beautifully over SPF and sits under powder without getting cakey or weird. It also doesn't LOOK like makeup. It just kind of melts in and makes my skin look more even and healthy instead of think and makeupy. It also doesn't sit in my fine lines like SO MANY other foundations! Only downside is wear time. It's good through the workday, but by evening it's definitely fading. I wish it lasted a little longer, but it's still my go to foundation!
My one and only
I love everything about this foundation. I also loved Sheer Glow and I wish i could still get it. These two NARS foundations and the RCC are the only ones to get it right for me. My only perfect shade, only con is the price!
