- When using for the first time, swirl #13 Powder Brush (sold separately) multiple times on the surface to soften the powder. Tap off excess and gently sweep onto the face to set makeup with a luminous, photo-ready finish.
- Press and roll onto skin with a powder puff or #15 Precision Powder Brush (sold separately) to lock complexion products in place. This also works well for targeted application to smaller areas of the face, like the undereye area or around the nose.

Magic to a magical 65 aged beauty
At my age makeup must MUST be softly applied magic...colors are being applied to an natural 65 aged face with that canvas being a natural translucency from the get go...so shades like crystal can be a Powerball in the right place with this aged beautifully face of mine! And Nars has several products...

I tried applying this powder several different ways and it did nothing for my finish. I wanted to like it but it was not worth keeping.

Extremely Disappointed with NARS Light Reflecting
Reviewed at

I recently purchased the NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder and had high hopes for it. However, my experience has been nothing short of a disappointment. Yesterday, as I excitedly unboxed the product, I was immediately struck by its sleek and elegant compact. It seemed like a promising addition to my makeup routine. However, my optimism quickly turned to frustration this morning when I opened it to find the entire chunk of powder had fallen out and shattered all over the floor. This experience left me extremely upset and frustrated. The quality and durability of the product have proven to be far below my expectations. Makeup products, especially those from reputable brands like NARS, should not fall apart so easily. In addition to the inconvenience and mess this has caused, it's also a waste of a product that wasn't cheap to begin with. I expected better from NARS, a brand known for its quality cosmetics. I hope NARS takes this feedback seriously and works on improving the packaging and quality control for their Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder. As a customer, I feel let down by this experience, and it has certainly left a negative impression. In conclusion, I cannot recommend the NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder based on my unfortunate experience. It's crucial for brands to ensure the reliability and quality of their products, and this one falls short in that regard.
looks great, feels… eh..

(shade: shore) i love the way it looks, it even looks good on its own under the eye. but when i set liquid concealer with it, it feels very sticky/tacky on the skin. (the loose light reflecting powder feels sooooo soft)

This setting powder is a rlly good powder for beginners. It is messy so it's best to be careful but in general, I recommend this powder if ur a beginner
I love the powder!
Verified Buyer
I really love this powder! I do not like the container as when it gets down to the bottom, it's difficult to get out the last of it!
It means it when it says "pressed"

The NARS reflecting setting powder is definitely quite pressed and certain types of beauty tools, brushes or sponges work the best. The powder is beautiful once applied to whatever area you are using to set where it brightens which is my favorite feature. Get the right applicator and enjoy the pressed look of this NARS setting powder. Recommending to others. Packaging g is classic NARS. Price is higher.
