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...

Flawless Skin
This is my new favorite foundation. It is buildable, blend-able and lightweight. The result looks fresh and bright.
Looks beautiful on my skin..
Recently got this. I had mac studio fix previously but needed a new shade for winter and wasn't in love with the way it looked on my skin. So the gal at Ulta recommended this one for my combination, 32 year old skin. Love that i can build it up to full coverage or wear it really sheer for a natural finish depending on my preference, also i do not need concealer to cover scarring this covers so well when i buff a lil more foundation onto those particular areas. Even if i buff some more under my eyes it looks nice for an everyday natural look rather than a thick concealer. I DO have large pores and acne scarring snd it looks beautiful on my skin. Ive heard some women say it enhances their pores and textured skin but imo a specified primer would help some with that but you could only do so much regardless ya know.. So ive just accepted my skin the way it is and it looks beautiful on my skin not cakey. I do not set my skin, and after the end of a long day like mad woman, with 4 kiddos, it still looks so beautiful and covers my flaws so freakin well. Hope this review helps. :) also ps she color matched me perfectly and on my skin it does not oxidize. Only did a bit once when i put too much mac primer under. Try it you just may like it. And if not you can always return.

Holy grail of foundations
I finally found a foundation for my mature skin!! At 71 I do not have wrinkles but due to my age, most foundations that i could wear years ago i can no longer wear and have it look good and natural looking on my skin. This foundation is virtually flawless on my skin and acts like a second skin without that heavy foundation look. Covers dark spots and gives my skin a nice soft texture & natural look ive never been able to achieve with other brands in this class of makeup. I live in a hit summer climate & this really makes it feel like no makeup on but looking fabulous too.Only thing i do not like is the price.
Color is different than the last two bottles I've had
I switched to this when another brand discontinued their 24hr hydrating foundation. Performance wise it doesn't have the staying power that the other did. This one transfers more and wears around my nose more than the other. However it was the best I had found and works well as far as the finish goes on my very dry Sahara desert skin. I ordered my previously used color Santa Fe. This time it arrived and is lighter than my last bottle. I also have Patagonia for winter time that I've used and Santa Fe is suppose to be a medium 2 while Patagonia is a medium 1.2 yet the Santa Fe is significantly lighter. To the point where it doesn't match my face and can't be used. I order online because I have used this one before and I don't have an ulta close by so this is extra frustrating. Even if I ship it back it's another wait for more foundation and I will have run out of my current bottle.
