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...

Best foundation of all time
I've gotten so many compliments from wearing this foundation because it makes my skin look so smooth and hydrated. It wears really well throughout a long workday and looks natural. I've tried many other foundations and nothing is as good as this one.
Great foundation!
I purchased this foundation due to my skin changing from oily all over to combo. I currently have an oily t-zone and normal all around. Foundations tend to separate on my chin no matter what primer, setting powder, moisturizer I use. Nars did a great job with this one, great coverage, lightweight and definitely long lasting. I will definitely be purchasing again!!
Holy Grail Status
This is my favorite foundation of all time! I've purchased it more times than I can count. It gives medium coverage and a skin-like finish. A little goes a long way. I have sensitive skin and cannot use foundation with fragrance or niacinamide, which companies seem to be adding to everything these days. This foundation has neither of those things, and I hope they never reformulate. My only tiny gripe is that the shades are tricky. I have a light, super muted, slightly cool olive undertone (most foundation shades can look too "colorful" on me) and Mont Blanc is my closest match year-round.
My skin is *chef's kiss*
Ive actually never found a foundation like this. Its feathery light and makes me look like I just have amazing skin. I thought I'd worn "skin-like" foundations before but NARS actually accomplishes that. Im so pleased and have officially found the GOAT
Just be aware
The product is great overall, ive been using about 5 months and I like it. My only issue is the pump. Its AWFUL. Dont try to do makeup in the car because youll get foundation everywhere.

- Q
I'm a long-time user of Sheer Glow in Caracas, but I want to try the Light Reflecting foundation. Since I've heard Caracas is a bit darker in that formula, which lighter shade would best match the original Sheer Glow Caracas? Is it Cadiz or perhaps another shade?
- Asked by Summer Sheer Glow
- Official Answer By NARS - BEHello, thank you for your interest in our Light Reflecting Foundation. The shades are the same across formulas, so you should still be able to wear Caracas, but the shade Cadiz would be the next shade lighter with a similar tone. Seville is slightly lighter than Caracas with a little warmer tone. -Ashley, NARS ArtistWas this answer helpful to you
