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...

Si !!! Yes!!!!
I like this brand a lot. Nice coverage. I like the texture as well. It does rub on clothes easily.
AMAZING
So far the best liquid foundation that I have purchased. It's lightweight, no perfumey smell, and the coverage is amazing.
AT Last Shade Lanai Medium 2.25
I have always struggled to find the right shade, for Nars in general. When the Light Reflecting Foundation launched in 2022, I bought 5 different shades, and returned the foundations that were way off. So when I heard that 15 new shades were released, I gave it one more chance, because I love the way Nars Foundations felt on my skin. Then I saw the shade Lanai shade Medium 2.25 and I went to try it in store. I had a gut feeling, this shade would be the one, and it really is the one.


I love this foundation but bottle top got get stuck in lid
The foundation is beautiful. I wear Patagonia and I have dry skin. I'm older and it does not settle into lines on my face. The color looks good. It does have a bit of a problem adhering to the skin on my nose so I'm in the process of finding a primer for this issue. Why I'm writing this review is to warn others that the glass bottle neck can get permanent stuck inside the black plastic lid of the product. I had to spend money and order a second bottle because I could not get the bottle out once it got stuck and I could not completely close the bottle. I'm not the only person with this problem as evidenced by some reviews here and elsewhere online. This is so upsetting. I hope NARS changes their bottles so this won't keep happening. My review stars do not reflect the bottle issue. This liquid foundation is a five star item and that's how I rated it.
Best foundation!!!
I have been on the hunt for a good medium coverage foundation for some weddings I have coming up in the next year, as I usually only wear skin tints. This is perfect! It evens out my complexion and plays will with my other products - no separation! It also looked like I just applied after a reception full of dancing. Amazing!
