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...

No, it wasn't suitable for my skin, too heavy.
The advisor was very nice but after trying her recommendations at home the next day, I found it was too heavy for my skin, so I returned it.
New favorite foundation
I love this foundation. It's not too heavy, but it still gives great coverage.
I usually hate foundation but love this!
I love this foundation! Definitely start out with well moisturized skin and a quality primer though if you have drier skin. I dispense a small amount (no more than three small pumps) into my palm and warm up there before applying with my fingers. Sometimes I blend with a damp real techniques sponge but it's not always needed. Sets beautifully and lasts all day! Great shade match too.
Love this stuff
Light thin smooth sheer coverage. Buildable. I use a make-up sponge. Does not sink into my lines. even by the end of the day. Tint matched perfectly. Easy to apply. I have dark spot of which I have been using the Nars concealer for years. I needed a foundation change and this one is perfect. The only down side is no sunscreen, but those tend to be on the thicker side. I don't wear a lot of make up and this one is perfect for me.
Not for my skin type
Wrong color match. It is too heavy for me. I will return it for some thing else.
