NARS is my go-to for foundations and this one is my favorit

This is my perfect foundation! The undertone matches me perfectly and I have a shade for when I'm tan and one for when I'm not. A little goes a long way and blends beautifully. I can use with or without any primer or with or without a setting spray. All my other products work well on top (powder blushes, bronzers, etc). #sweepstakes

A little let down

I have been using Light Reflecting Foundation for three months, after using Sheer Glow for years. I miss Sheer Glow. The new Youlong shade matches me perfectly but I find the formula drying and patchy, no matter how much I blend. It settles into fine lines and creases in face if I make any expression. I think it was designed to be used with the primer but I am able to use the primer because of the dimethecone and chemical SPF. It's an ok foundation but nowhere near as good as Sheer glow was.

Beautiful, Natural & Long-Lasting!

I absolutely love this foundation! It gives my skin a beautiful, natural-looking finish while still providing enough coverage to even out my complexion. It feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin, and I love how radiant and healthy my skin looks without looking overly cakey. It also wears really well throughout the day. Definitely one of my favorite foundations and I would repurchase it! #sweepstakes
