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.

great foundation, terrible pump
While I love the foundation, the pump has always had the issue of spraying out droplets of makeup after the initial pump. Very wasteful and messy!
Formula change
This use to be my favorite foundation, formula change and no longer like it , more dry make my skin look more mature
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!!!
