- Q
I just purchsed this product, I do not like the stick applicator for dispensing, is there a pump available? Also what would you recommend for spf as this doesn't have any? Thank you
- Asked by Carol
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. There is no stick applicator - what you are seeing is the bottom of the pump - the stick is the tube which dispenses the foundation through the pump. Screw the lid back on the bottle and pull UP on the cap - you will see a pump underneath. - SamanthaWas this answer helpful to you

- Q
Is the tone like "cool or neutral" a preference or something you choose based on your skin tones? I know I would be light to medium, and wouldn't want warm tones. But I may be that tone.
- Asked by Julie
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. Your undertone will determine which foundation tone would suit you. A shade with a neutral tone may suit a complexion that is slightly warm or cool, as well as neutral and some olive complexions. A cool tone foundation would be suitable for those with a peachy, pink, or red undertones. A warm toned foundation will suit those with golden, yellow, or some olive tones. If you think you may have a warm undertone (green tinged veins can be an indicator) and do not want a warm toned foundation, I would recommend a neutral shade, or one that leans slightly warm. One example of a neutral shade at a light-medium depth would be Santa Fe. -Ashley, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
I've tried shade huahine but its slightly too light but has a good undertone, caracas is too warm and orange, do you have a shade that is darker than huahine that could match me?
- Asked by Amb
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. The shade CADIZ is one shade deeper than HUAHINE, and has the same neutral tones. - Samantha, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
I tried Mont Blanc and it is too light for my skin and will not blend in but sits on my skin. I love the way it feels but need a shade a little deeper in tone. I have rosacea and my chin, nose and forehead and the area stays a little red all day. Which shade should I try next. Thank you
- Asked by Jennifer
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. The next shade deeper than MONT BLANC with the same neutral undertones would be GOBI. This is just a bit deeper, but is the same in undertone. - Samantha, 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...

Favorite foundation but cap came off and spilled everywhere
I've been buying this for years, I guess I got a defective cap. We were traveling and got to our destination and it came open and leaked inside my makeup bag. I had to go to a department store and replace it while we were traveling. I'm going to be returning this bottle to the store today. Hopefully this is just one case of this happening.
My Fave
I don't love the price, but I do love how it looks on my textured skin. It's also the closest match I have ever had. It appears skin like, is smoothing, and mixes well with all of my skin care. I wear the shade Lagos, and I can only find it at Ulta, I hope they don't get rid of it!!!
I wanted to love this so much...
I wanted so much to love this foundation and make it work, but it just didn't for me which is sad because it did help my skin. It oxidized on me, settled into every line, wrinkle, and pore, and looked like a shiny mask. The amount of money I've spent on this foundation and trying various things to make it work is obnoxious so I have to replace it.
Moisturizing and not drying
Switched to NARS after using Estee and I love how dewy (but not too dewy) and natural this looks on my skin. Feels natural without feeling heavy.
Looks amazing but can't get past the smell
This foundation is absolutely gorgeous. It goes on beautifully and stays throughout the day. It is definitely a dewy finish it that is what you are looking for. Unfortunately i could not get past the smell. I am not super sensitive when it comes to smells, but this straight up smells like im putting bug spray or something on my face. Its not just a light smell either its very strong and pungent.
