NARS Light Reflecting Foundation - Advanced Makeup-Skincare Hybrid Foundation - 30ml (Stromboli - Medium 3)

My new favorite foundation. Good coverage for mature age without being too much. The finish is more dewy and the skin looks glossy and young :)

I really like this foundation - it's lightweight and provides great coverage, blends well and doesn't settle into fine lines. I have pretty dry, sensitive skin and this product gives my skin a nice dewy glow that lasts all day and into the night! I switched over to this from Tarte Face Tape Full Coverage foundation after being really unhappy with my last couple of bottles and have been so much happier with this product than I was with Tarte - I use so much less product and get much better coverage that lasts way longer, it doesn't dry out my skin like Tarte did, and it blurs and covers fine lines while Tarte seemed to accentuate them. The shade I purchased, Mont Blanc, gives a very natural appearance, as well. The only complaint I have is with the applicator thing it comes with. It looks like the little brush that's attached to the inside of a nail polish lid (this one is also attached to the lid of this foundation bottle), but unlike nail polish brushes, this one is stiff and awkward. I apply this foundation using a makeup sponge but getting the actual product out of the bottle and onto the sponge is way more annoying than it should be. But that's really my only complaint and it's something that can easily be overlooked for such an otherwise amazing product.

I absolutely love this foundation makeup! It is easy to apply and it lasts for hours. It is absolutely my go-to foundation.

Update: After using it for a few days, I want to upgrade this to 4 stars instead of 3. It is moisturizing and doesn't gather around fine lines! It has a super easy to spread gel/cream smooth consistency that's very nice. Just keep in mind it applies light and oxidizes to 3/4 shade darker and w/ me it settles into my ski shade nicely. One Youtuber who tried on 300+ foundations had Nars as its very top/best foundation so I thought I should give it a try. I'm a Estee L 2N1 but I got a 3N. I expected it to be a bit dewy for some reason but 1st of all, it applied on super light shade. I was shocked but carried through the application with finger tips, then a foundation brush. It applied fine, dried really fast. I looked a bit pale. I swatched it on my arm and compared it with Estee L, so much lighter. Then right before my eyes, the swatched began to look okay on the skin's shade...then it looked exactly like my skin color....obviously it oxidized about a shade. On the face, it looked like it matched the color fine, a bit matte w/ light coverage. It's comfortable, not drying the skin, w/ just a tad of feeling you have foundation on. Don't get the "light reflecting" claim. I do have dryish/normal skin so I really don't think it will turn dewy on me. I will use it daily. It's kind of good but not wowing. Might update if it improves on me.

Its as good as people said it is/was. I never bought Nars because I thought the hype was artificial. But I was only disenfranchising myself. Its super lightweight. Its super watery. In fact too watery. But it is pigment that molds to your face and it does not come off easily. Yet does not clog pores, because its super watery. I am very happily pleased. I am so glad I got the chance to try nars. I like it very much.

The worst. Greasy. Transfers off easily. Melts and drips off skin. Makes you look dull. DO NOT BUY. It is NOT NARS, just buy this same foundation in person from a Sephora store.

Truly the best foundation I have ever used on my 58-year-old skin. I would say medium coverage but buildable, not cakey, not dry, not oily- and it gives you a lovely glow that’s not shiny. Yay! I use it on my entire face, and then add a tiny bit of concealer on top of it under my eyes. Worth the price, hype and believe the 5 star reviews.

This foundation is BEAUTIFUL on my skin. I have naturally red face and foundations never match me correctly to my neck, and I have very textured skin. I'm oily on my nose and chin, and dry every where else. This foundation sits beautifully on my skin and seems to just get better thru our the day. My fiance complemented daily and told me I was glowing.... and kept asking what I've done differently-- however, everyday I would get a new deep cystic breakout on my chin. No matter how much I love how this looks on me- I've decides I can not keep wearing it. The acne on the chin is too painful.
