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...

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!!
Holy Grail Status
This is my favorite foundation of all time! I've purchased it more times than I can count. It gives medium coverage and a skin-like finish. A little goes a long way. I have sensitive skin and cannot use foundation with fragrance or niacinamide, which companies seem to be adding to everything these days. This foundation has neither of those things, and I hope they never reformulate. My only tiny gripe is that the shades are tricky. I have a light, super muted, slightly cool olive undertone (most foundation shades can look too "colorful" on me) and Mont Blanc is my closest match year-round.
My skin is *chef's kiss*
Ive actually never found a foundation like this. Its feathery light and makes me look like I just have amazing skin. I thought I'd worn "skin-like" foundations before but NARS actually accomplishes that. Im so pleased and have officially found the GOAT
Just be aware
The product is great overall, ive been using about 5 months and I like it. My only issue is the pump. Its AWFUL. Dont try to do makeup in the car because youll get foundation everywhere.
