I currently use Bare Minerals Original Loose Powder Foundation in Fairly Medium 05. What would be the best shade for me?
- Asked by Nicole
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your question! Based on your current shade, MONT BLANC (neutral/ cool undertones) would be a great starting point. If you prefer something slightly more neutral, you could also consider DEAUVILLE. --Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

I use shade Syracuse in the Light Refecting foundation. What would be the best concealer with that? I dont want to too bright. Somethig natural.
- Asked by Z
- Official Answer By NARS - BEI would recommend SUCRE'ORGE or CARAMEL. Both golden, warm undertones, very close to Syracuse shade. -- Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
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
- Q
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

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...

Makes you GLOW
Gives you a little from within glow.
Love this but....
I have dry, sensitive and aging skin and very love this foundation. I had used this for 2 years but never had a good shade match. Nars need to improve on light medium skin tone shades. Nars have only Fiji for light medium with warm undertone and jump to medium undertone. Nars need to have more light medium shade with others undertone. This is why I give this a 4 stars due to lack of light medium skin tone with others undertone. This is such lovely foundation please improve it when you are reformulated next time Nars.
It's still the best.
I went on a foundation kick ans tried a ton of the best reviewed foundations. This one is still the best. I had to take photos today so i used this one. Its beautiful on. I dont like how you need to apply it with your hands but it warms the product and does make it look like my skin but Way better. I prefer not using my hands and being able to use a thinner product- but theirs no denying the results. This looks the best on hands down.
Yikes
I bought this as a potential wedding foundation and unfortunately it does not work for my skin. My skin looks worse and this foundation emphasizes problems I didn't know I had.
Obsessed
I was in desperate need of a new foundation and Ive had my eye on this for a while so I finally pulled the trigger and wow. Talk about flawless. I have sensitive combo skin that has gotten much drier now that I'm using retinol and other actives. This applies like a dream and truly gives a light reflecting finish. It feels completely weightless too which I adore. I'm a decently fair girly with a bit of redness and Mont Blanc was a perfect match for me. I'm getting married this year and i do believe i will be wearing this on my wedding day 😍
