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...

Looks Natural
I use this on days I want my skin to look more natural and not matte. I used to use another brand's forever glow foundation and I prefer this one because there is no perfume smell.
10/10 foundation
Literally the best foundation i've ever had, an ulta employee helped me find my correct shade and it was like my skin in a bottle. It neutralized my VERY red cheeks and didn't feel too cakey. It didn't oxidize like many other foundations I've used in the last and didnt break up on the sides if my nose like many products do. It is a littke pricey but its most definitely worth every penny I put into it.
I must have a bad bottle
I must have a bad bottle because I had this foundation in high school (and i looked bad asl in my prom photos) but I got this again as a Christmas gift and the formula of the bottle I currently have is the worst foundation I've ever used. It pills immediately on my skin and is patchy, even though I'm using the right techniques and shaking the bottle before use. I've switched up my moisturizer and primers, but nothing worked. I don't need that kinda stress in my life so I threw it away.
Best foundation of all time
I've gotten so many compliments from wearing this foundation because it makes my skin look so smooth and hydrated. It wears really well throughout a long workday and looks natural. I've tried many other foundations and nothing is as good as this one.
Great foundation!
I purchased this foundation due to my skin changing from oily all over to combo. I currently have an oily t-zone and normal all around. Foundations tend to separate on my chin no matter what primer, setting powder, moisturizer I use. Nars did a great job with this one, great coverage, lightweight and definitely long lasting. I will definitely be purchasing again!!

I've been using Light Reflecting Foundation in Deauville but it is a bit on the lighter side for me, especially now that I've gotten some sun over the summer. What would be a comparable, but slightly darker/deeper shade to use instead or even to mix with Deauville?
- Asked by Brittni
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello! If Deauville is on a lighter side for you, I recommend shade Punjab (warm golden undertones). It should match your summer complexion perfectly and work as a mixer to transition back to Deauville as your tan fades. -- Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
