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...

Absolutely love!
I was skeptical at first because at 41 it's hard finding the perfect foundation but I love this!
Great skin-like foundation
This foundation is great! It provides great light-to-medium coverage with a small amount of product, which is good for how it's priced. Only downside is, oil may shine through if you're oily-combo, so prep your skin.
Impressed
I've been using Mac foundation my entire life so making the switch to Nars was not easy, but I was so impressed! This foundation is long lasting provides excellent coverage and doesn't look cakey. I have fun. They have a better selection of shades than others. I'll only be using this one from now on !
Love it!
Feels like there's barely anything on!
Hands down; 1 of the BEST!!
This is by far one of the best foundations that exist; it's in my top 3 favorites, along with Estee Lauder's Double Wear & Tarte's Face Tape. This performs exactly like a hi end product should; it goes on creamy & smooth, but is NOT runny (if you're like me & can't stand watery foundations, this is the perfect consistency; not thick & not water thin), it is radiant & ads a gorgeous glow, without the overpowering glittery lil kid look, & it stays on alllll day long, 18hrs+, w/no touch ups needed. My favorite part is that it dries down in minutes; no waiting 30-60min without it transferring all over!! You can set it, or forget it, & go about your day, free of powder/setting spray - it will stay put regardless - a Godsend. It also does not dry my skin out, nor break it out in acne (thank you Nars for OIL-FREE products!!) It even feels hydrating, so it doesn't form that tight pulling feel around the eyes as the day wears on (those over 40yo feel me, lol.) I would gladly pay full price for this level of perfection, but I do try to catch it on sale at half off twice per yr & load up then. I can say this is 99x better than Nars Natural Radiant Long Wear foundation - be careful when purchasing, as I've mixed the 2 up before. The long-wear product is not worth $5 in comparison. ;-)

- 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
