- 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
- Q
What would be a good primer to use with this for mature skin? Also for mature skin would you recommend a setting spray or a certain setting powder with this?
- Asked by Missy
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. The Light Reflecting Primer would pair beautifully with this formula, and would enhance radiance in the skin. This is suitable for all skin types, including mature skin. You could then set with our Light Reflecting Setting Mist for added radiance and prolonged wear time. If you would like to use a powder, our Light Reflecting Setting powder is ideal - this is a translucent Setting Powder with a natural finish. - Samantha, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
- Q

- Asked by Sherika
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. The shade MOOREA is one shade lighter, and warm in tone. - 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...

Returned it
I did not like this. Texture was like an extra thin serum and I found it hard to work with. Also settled into wrinkles.
Love
Ive been using this foundation for years not and nothing compares.
Love this!
Great color match for my skin, love the thinner texture, gives medium to full coverage and doesn't look heavy or cakey on my skin
Marquises-Wish I tried it sooner!
Foundation is beautiful on my skin, one of the best colour matches ever, like it was made exactly for my skin. Very natural appearance, covers slight imperfections even with a light application. Very comfortable on skin even in the ungodly heat of summer.
YES YULONG!👏👏
FINALLY a perfect color match for my pale skin! Hydrating, but not in a heavy way!
