Can you apply this foundation with a brush?
- Asked by KJ
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation.

Does this foundation stay on 24 hours? I need something thats going to stay on all day, im a personal trainer, but i want it to be a full/medium coverage?
- Asked by Court
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. This formula offers a buildadable light-to-medium coverage and an 8-hour wear, which can be extended by applying a primer, such as our Light Reflecting Primer, and a setting spray. For a more medium-to-full coverage option with a 16-hour wear, I would recommend our Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. - Ashley NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Is there any smell to this foundation?
- Asked by Milk
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello! This foundation has a very light, subtle scent that is barely perceptible and fades quickly on skin. The focus is on a fresh, natural feel rather than a strong fragrance. --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.

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...

My holy grail
After trial and error, this is the foundation that looks best on my extremely fair skin. I apply with a sponge and it lasts all day. Makes my skin look flawless with great coverage. Will repurchase!
Not for my skin
From a little distance it looks great. Up close it looks a mess. I always use moisturizer before applying my makeup and this stuff does not blend into my skin well and makes my face look dry
It's just ok
They were out of my normal foundation from nars. It has good coverage but it runny when you put it on and doesnt have the same luster as radiant wear foundation. Its ok for a change but wouldn't purchase again.
Well worth the money
I used the foundation finder tool on NARS' website and it recommended the shade Patagonia. It was a perfect match! I apply it with a brush and use 2 tiny pumps of foundation and it covers everything - blemishes, dark circles, etc. Does not look like I am wearing foundation which is the key.
My go to foundation
I love this foundation so much, its goes on so smoothly, it blends well and its oily friendly. I have my summer and my winter shades.
