Hello :) I recently discovered shade Gobi is a perfect match for me and I am sooo happy about it! I was wondering which NARS concealer to pair it with. Thank you!
- Asked by Mari
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your kind words, so happy you love Gobi! For a brightening/ under eye shade, I recommend Creme Brulee, and for a spot concealing/skintone match I recommend Nougatine. Hope this helps! -- Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

I was matched at Ulta with punjab but it looks a tad yellow or tan. It doesn't look to bad but I am wanting to get a better match. What would you recommend as a shade lighter, not as golden?
- Asked by Shar
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your interest in Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation. Based on your current experience with Punjab, I would recommend shade Patagonia (peachy undertones). Hope this helps! -- Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

I use Vanatau but need a shade darker. Which one should i choose?
- Asked by shade darker
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. One shade deeper than VANUATU would be the shade BARCELONA. - Samantha, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you

- Asked by MaryLou
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Advances Skincare foundation. The NARS equivalent of your current foundation is Vienna, a light shade with neutral undertones. Hope this helps! --Weronika, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
does this work for fine lines and dry skin? I have been having many problems with my foundations separating on my chin no matter what i use or don't use
- Asked by just me
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, and thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. Light Reflecting Foundation is a medium coverage formula that is a makeup-skincare hybrid, has a natural, light-reflective finish, and instantly blurs imperfections, smooths the look of textured skin, and helps conceal blemishes, dark spots, and redness. This formula also blurs the look of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. If you feel you are seeing separation, this may be caused by skincare, skin prep or a primer which does not coordinate with the foundations you are using. We would recommend reaching out to an Artist for a more in-depth consultation. - 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...

Major bottle design flaw
Bought this a month ago. Love the foundation but the bottle design is AWFUL --pump was so rigid, too little or too much liquid comes out. Then, the pump got stuck inside the bottle top. I couldn't remove it. Far too expensive for so many issues!

Amazing
I've been searching for the perfect foundation for years and I think I finally may have found it. My skin is on the dryer side and foundation always has aged me and made me look worse. This looks and feels just like a second skin. It goes on so smooth and doesn't feel thick. Ive tried lancome, too faced, estee lauder, tarte, and so many other foundations and none compare to this one!
Beautiful finish
LOVE this fountain. My skin is glowing!!!
YES YES YES!
I saw a friend wearing this. Her face was glowing, and she looked 10 years younger. I bought the same shade the day I saw her wearing it.
beautiful, but…
I absolutely love this foundation but there are two dealbreakers for me: 1) it oxidizes almost immediately on me (shade oslo ends up very warm and peachy) and 2) it tends to settle into the creases of my nose and lines between my eyebrows. it's also not as buildable as I feel it's made out to be, but that's not a dealbreaker for me. I love how lightweight and dewy it is om my very dry, sensitive skin. if it stayed looking the way it does before oxidizing, this would be my holy grail
