If I use Pür Naturals LN6 and/or Benefit Porefessional 4N (Wonder), what would be a good color match in NARS? Thank you!
- Asked by Mary
- Official Answer By NARS - BEThank you for your question! Based on your use of PÜR LN6 and Benefit 4N (Wonder), a good starting point in the Light Reflecting Foundation may be Deauville (Light 4) if you lean more neutral-cool, or Fiji (Light 5) if you are slightly warmer. For the most accurate match, we recommend trying our Shade Finder or booking a free Virtual Consultation. --Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

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.

LOVE
It's been such a journey finding a formula and shade that works for me. I'm absolutely in love with this foundation and its build-ability and find myself doing my make up more often because of it
great foundation and the color was perfect
a great foundation
Loveeeeee it
This is my favorite foundation! Definitely worth your money. I have dry skin and this foundation hydrates while not leaving too much of a dewy finish. Would recommend!!
Beautiful but not for the girlies who have acne scars
Its truly a beautiful foundation, very light weight however it does not cover my acne scars 😩 ive tried to built it up as well. Unfortunately will be returning for aomething more full coverage!
Great buildable coverage for mature skin
This brand was recommended to me by a sales clerk and I love it. Some foundations are heavy and actually accentuate fine lines, but this one is lightweight and doesn't sit or cake in any creases or lines. Great for mature skin.
