Hello, id like to know what is best primer to use with this foundation? i usually have combination oily skin and if i could still use my loose powders/pressed powders to mattify it.
- Asked by v
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation and primers. We recommend our Light Reflecting Hydrating Primer as the perfect base for applying Light Reflecting Foundation. You may use a matte setting powder, such as our Soft Matte Advanced Perfecting Powder to help control oil and mattify as needed. -Ashley, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Hi, I use 4.5 In Armani Luminous silk. I am confused between patagonia and santa fe. Which one is less warm and more neutral. I have a slightly warm complexion but I prefer a rosy makeup look
- Asked by Misty Face
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, Thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. I would recommend the shade Vienna as the most comparable to your current shade in depth with a cool-leaning/peachy neutral tone. Santa Fe is about a shade deeper, and has a neutral tone, and Patagonia appears slightly deeper than Santa Fe when applied and has a more peachy tone. - Ashley, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

Hi. I use nars soft matte concealer in custard. Could you recommend which shade in light reflecting advanced skincare foundation and the natural radiant foundation please? Side note, I am not a fan of wearing my concealer significantly lighter than my foundation. I am looking for a more natural look.
- Asked by Marie
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, thank you for your interest in our foundation formulas. I would recommend the shade Santa Fe as the most similar in depth and tone to Custard. Santa Fe is available in both formulas. -Ashley, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

What would be a lighter shade than Cordoba, I need something that will match my olive skin tone.
- Asked by Rae
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. The shade VANUATU is one shade lighter than CORDOBA, but is slightly warmer in tone (it is warm/olive in tone). CORDOBA is neutral/olive in tone. The next shade lighter with neutral tones would be LANAI - this is a few shades lighter. - Samantha, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
- 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

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...

I will buy this again
Stays on all day Does not have a yellow tint. Not heavy on face.
False Advertising
I made the purchase, which was a splurge, based on the offer of a free gift. The free gift never came, and the receipt said that it was out of stock. It is shameful that in an age of computerization you would continue to offer a free gift that you do not honor. This is false advertising.
Love this foundation!
Can't say enough good things.
My holy grail foundation!
I absolutely love this foundation. It has been my top pick for years and i hate using any other foundation. Its a bit pricey but its pricey because its amazing. It makes your face looks perfect, but also not cakey or fake. It has a natural application and blends well with blush and contour over it. I always top with the nars compact setting powder and it wears long. Highly recommend! Also to note, a little goes a long way. I wear makeup 5 or 6 days a week and a bottle lasts me about 4 months give or take
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.
