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.

Great product the match and quality is amazing.
40+
Great foundation for 40+ skin. Last all day!
My go-to for my dry skin
I've tried MAC, Estee, Urban Decay and Lancome, but this NARS foundation is my go-to. It's lightweight, buildable, blurs flaws, illuminates skin, ah-mazing formula! Tip: exfoliate, moisturize and prime before use for best results. ;-)
Love this make up!
This product gives me beautiful velvety, bright skin. They have so many colors and finishes.
Didn't work for me
Pro: It's the best shade match I've found in years. Con: It highlighted every dry patch on my face. Other foundations blended into these areas much better. This foundation practically pointed a red, blinking light at the dry spots.

I have been using CN40 Cream Chamois for years and feel I need something different. Just turned 70 but very few wrinkles. :) What color in Nars light reflecting advanced foundation would I use.
- Asked by Dee
- Official Answer By NARS - BEThank you for reaching out! Since you’ve been wearing CN40 Cream Chamois, I would recommend trying Fiji in the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation. It’s a beautiful match for a light-medium skin tone with warm/neutral undertones. -Nikki, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
