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.

Love it
Can hardly tell I have it on. Went on very smoothly and I love it. I will be getting more of the products.
It was a mistake
Product was too watery
Consider skin type
Okay, I love Nars. Have combination skin. Was able to find the perfect shade. The finish dried a little to flat and matte. It would be ideal to wear if you need the make up to last. This would be a great back up makeup not an every day. If you have oily skin...maybe your everyday.
Worth the money!!! Best foundation ever!!!
This foundation is 100% worth the price. Its buildable coverage so you can decide how you want it to look. It covers acne but is somehow so thin and light. I use Mont Blanc becuase I'm so pale but it matches perfectly and doesn't oxydize. I recommend this to everyone buy it now!!
Natural Looking
Highlights: looks natural on skin and blends well with other products. Has a slight dewy finish and feels lightweight and works well with my dry skin. Not my faves: It doesn't cover my rosacea super well on its own but it is buildable. also it has a slight yellow hue to it on my skin.
