NARS Light Reflecting Foundation - Siberia

The NARS Light Reflecting Foundation provides a natural, luminous finish, designed to give your skin a healthy, radiant glow without looking overly dewy or greasy.

Siberia is a very light shade with cool (pink/red) undertones. To choose the right shade, swatch a small amount on your jawline and allow it to dry slightly. Check the match in natural light. It should disappear into your skin without leaving a harsh line.

Info needed: While NARS products are generally formulated with skin in mind, individual sensitivities vary. If you have sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test before full face application.

Info needed: While many foundations can oxidize, NARS formulations are generally designed to minimize this. However, skin chemistry can play a role. It's best to observe how the shade wears on your skin throughout the day after initial application.

For a natural, luminous look, apply with your fingertips or a damp beauty sponge for sheer to light coverage. For more coverage, use a foundation brush. Start in the center of your face and blend outwards, ensuring an even, seamless application.

Ensure you are using a primer, especially in areas where makeup tends to fade. Set your foundation with a light layer of setting powder or a setting spray to lock it in place.
