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...

STUNNING formula
I've heard so much about this foundation for a long time. I had grabbed the Nars radiant concealer a few months ago after seeing rave reviews and personally didn't like it, so I wasn't super eager to try the foundation. I've been searching for my 'perfect' foundation formula for so long, and desperate to find something I liked I grabbed a bunch of different ones to try. this one is THE one! it's so beautiful on. I want radiance without looking greasy or emphasizing texture. I have acneic and scarred texture, and needed something matte but radiant if that makes sense. I also have some fine lines that foundations tend to exaggerate. this stuff is perfect for me! truly gives a "glow from within" glow rather than a shine. I recently tried PT's foundation and HATED it, so I've been hesitant on trying luminous formulas. the coverage of this is perfect and it obviously works perfectly with my Nars pot concealer. I will say- finding your perfect shade match may not be easy. I'm a pale, olive tone and struggled a bit with both the concealers and foundation. I usually have to get neutral undertone shades because warm/cool never work for me. Nars seems to have very yellow-toned shades in their formulas. I have to mix 2, but that's unfortunately pretty standard for me anyway. nonetheless, I absolutely LOVE this formula and will absolutely be re-purchasing!
Lightweight with good coverage
I have always had difficulty finding my shade in foundation but this is the first time ive had a good match. I wear the shade Perth and it medium coverage but with color correction all my dark spots are cover and i get a smooth flawless base! It pairs well with the concealer and gives a more natural finish
Natural Glow
This foundation gives you an effortless natural glow. It is like your skin but better. Buildable coverage and consistency is light and sets nicely without primer or setting powder.
Love it
I am 43 and had been using a pressed powder foundation. I felt like it was drawing attention to fine lines and wrinkles. I did some research on best foundations for lines/wrinkles and kept stumbling upon this foundation. I tried this and absolutely love it. I think it minimizes my fine lines and wrinkles. Will absolutely buy again.
NARS light reflecting, advanced skincare foundation
This NARS foundation is truly one of the bast. It resists oxidizing and is buildable and looks natural. I highly recommend it for older skin types. It has light reflectors, but not shimmer. Very hydrating. Try it you'll love it and Never go back to anything else.
