Does it come with a pump or is that separate
- Asked by Val
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello & thank you for your interest in Light Reflecting Foundation. Yes, the pump is underneath the cap. Pull the cap straight off - do not twist, or you will twist the pump off. -Nikki, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Hello there! I recently purchased this beautiful foundation in Oslo and absolutely LOVE the formula, wear and undertone of it! However, I noticed it's just a bit too light for me. I really don't want to return it. Could I mix it with another shade to bring up the color depth about one more shade? I really want to keep the gorgeous cool undertone. If so, please recommend which shade. (I had my eye on Deauville as a possibility...)
- Asked by themarma
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased you love our foundation! You are absolutely correct, to deepen OSLO just slightly, DEAUVILLE would be a great choice -- you can also mix and match the ratio of both as your skin becomes more sun kissed in the warmer months! --Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Hi. I just ordered the Nars light reflecting foundation. I have combination skin. I have Dry patches but I also have an oily T-zone. Would it be ok if I moisturize first, and then use elf suntouchable whoa glow primer before adding this foundation?
- Asked by Krit
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your interest in NARS Cosmetics. Yes, you can absolutely use a mattifying primer to focus on keeping thew Tzone shine-free! We recommend NARS Soft Matte Primer to ensure it working synergistically with your foundation. -- Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Help picking a shade? I am torn between yulong and mont blanc, but am open to other suggestions as well. I currently wear estee lauder double wear shade 1n1 for full coverage days, nars soft matte complete concealer in vanilla for spot concealing, and makeup forever super boost skin tint in shade 2 for lighter coverage days. Any advice on which shade to choose?
- Asked by Natalie
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. I would recommend the shade Mont Blanc for you based on your current shades. -Ashley, 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 37 year old fine lines LOVE this foundation!
On my 37-year-old skin, this is pretty glorious. It's light, but you can build it where you need more coverage. It layers beautifully over SPF and sits under powder without getting cakey or weird. It also doesn't LOOK like makeup. It just kind of melts in and makes my skin look more even and healthy instead of think and makeupy. It also doesn't sit in my fine lines like SO MANY other foundations! Only downside is wear time. It's good through the workday, but by evening it's definitely fading. I wish it lasted a little longer, but it's still my go to foundation!
My one and only
I love everything about this foundation. I also loved Sheer Glow and I wish i could still get it. These two NARS foundations and the RCC are the only ones to get it right for me. My only perfect shade, only con is the price!
Flawless and perfect for more mature dry skin
I tend to stick to serum foundations and tints because of my dry skin since things normally cling to it and decided to buy this on a whim during an event at Ulta because it came with some freebies (which I also LOVED) and this foundation is gorgeous. I have always loved Nars products such as the glosses, blushes, bronzers and concealer, but never wanted to spend the money on a foundation until now. It looked like my skin but more polished and was the perfect base for the rest of my makeup. You have officially converted me. Now if only Nars could bring back "Sin" blush in the new formula and they would make my day!
BEST FOUNDATION IVE EVER USED
i LOVE this foundation. i struggle with hormonal cystic acne. always have and a lot of products worsen my skin. so much so that i stopped wearing makeup for about 2-3 years. i bought this foundation about two weeks ago and will for sure be buying more when i run out. the shade match is amazing, it doesnt oxidize at all. ive full on slept in my makeup and i wake up with no new pimples and no clogged pores. i pair it with other water based products and my skin is thriving! im so happy i found this foundation bc now i can wear my makeup without it feeling heavy and without causing new breakouts!😊
Not for me
I wanted to love this after reading the good reviews , but it made my face look pastie. Not at all what I expected from a high end foundation .
