Hi - I've been using NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, in shade "Alaska". Can you suggest a similar shade in the Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation please. Also, an appropriate concealer. Thank you!
- Asked by Peaches
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your interest in NARS Cosmetics. Your foundation shade would fall between DEAUVILLE and PATAGONIA. Concealer -- NOUGATINE or MADELEINE and CREME BRULEE as a brightening/ under eye shade. -- Hope this helps! Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

I currently use Bare Minerals Original Loose Powder Foundation in Fairly Medium 05. What would be the best shade for me?
- Asked by Nicole
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your question! Based on your current shade, MONT BLANC (neutral/ cool undertones) would be a great starting point.

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...

Worst foundation I've ever bought
I don't normally write reviews but this is the worst foundation I have ever bought. It shoots out of the bottle and gets everywhere, making it impossible to get a small amount out. It cakes into your skin and starts wearing off after a couple hours. It covers nothing and ends up looking like a cakey mess.
The best foundation I have tried so far
I have tried so many foundations including luxury brands but the color match and the falwless finish NARS has is the best among all. Also for this price, hands down its the best. Best color match for brown skin.
Love itt
Foundation shade matches me so beautifully love it so far. Also love the finish and how beautiful and smooth my base is with this foundation. Side bar i have done a lot of research before buying this product to know this is probably one of the best foundations on the market
Nice foundation
I used this foundation for years and constantly recommend it to my clients. Its a beautiful finish. Super light weight with medium coverage but can be buildable. The shade rage is outstanding. The only downside is that its not an all day wear for me. It looks amazing for an hour then starts to seperate. But thats just me. I use the Cos Rx niacinamide serum with the morphe Lifeproof spray and it helps a lot!!
AMAZING
It is more fluid than I thought it would be but applied great and lasts all day. The picture is after working all day and doing two hours of yard work. (also paired worh a good primer) The packaging is just okay. The top separated as soon as I opened it but nothing that super glue won't fix.
