FAQs

How do I find my correct shade in the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation range?

It is best to test shades on your jawline and allow them to dry fully, as the color can oxidize slightly. Observe in natural light to find the closest match to your neck and face.

Can I build up the coverage of this foundation?

Yes, this foundation offers buildable coverage. Start with a thin layer for a natural look, and apply additional thin layers to areas where more coverage is desired, blending each layer thoroughly.

Is this foundation suitable for sensitive skin?

While formulated to be suitable for all skin types, individuals with very sensitive skin should always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full face application to check for any adverse reactions.

What is the best way to apply this foundation for a natural finish?

For a natural, radiant finish, apply with a damp beauty sponge or a soft-bristled foundation brush, dabbing and blending gently from the center of the face outwards.

How much product should I use?

Start with one pump for light to medium coverage and build from there. The convenient pump dispenser allows for controlled product usage.

Does this foundation oxidize or change color throughout the day?

Some foundations can oxidize. While NARS strives for stable formulations, it's always recommended to test the shade and observe it over a few hours to ensure it maintains its color on your skin type.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears patchy or uneven.

Ensure skin is properly moisturized and prepped. Blend thoroughly using small, circular motions with a damp beauty sponge or brush. Apply in thin layers.

The foundation doesn't last all day.

Use a compatible primer before application and set your foundation with a translucent setting powder or setting spray, especially in areas prone to creasing or oiliness.

Shade Cadiz doesn't perfectly match my skin tone.

Try blending a small amount down onto your neck to minimize harsh lines. For a more precise match, consider mixing with another shade if you own one, or testing other NARS Light Reflecting Foundation shades on your jawline in natural light.

Foundation looks too shiny or not radiant enough.

For less shine, lightly dust a matte powder over areas you want to de-emphasize shine. For more radiance, ensure your skin is well-hydrated, and consider applying a luminous primer underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a natural, luminous glow.
  • Effectively blurs minor imperfections.
  • Adaptable coverage for different needs.
  • Universally suitable for various skin types.
  • Lightweight feel for comfortable wear.

Cons

  • Shade matching can be challenging without in-person testing.

Setup & Application:\n1. Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply a primer for extended wear and a smoother canvas, if desired.\n2. Dispense Product: Shake the bottle well. Dispense one to two pumps of foundation onto the back of your hand.\n3. Apply: Using a foundation brush, makeup sponge, or clean fingertips, dot the product onto the center of your face (forehead, nose, chin).\n4. Blend: Blend the foundation outwards towards your hairline and jawline, ensuring a seamless transition. For buildable coverage, apply thin layers rather than a single thick one.\n5. Set (Optional): If you have oily skin or desire longer wear, lightly set with a translucent powder, focusing on the T-zone.\n\nCompatibility: This foundation is formulated to be suitable for all skin types. However, individuals with extremely oily skin might benefit from using an oil-controlling primer and setting powder, while those with very dry skin should ensure proper hydration before application. The 'Cadiz' shade (MD3) is designed for medium-deep skin tones with warm undertones.\n\nCare & Maintenance:\n- Storage: Store the foundation upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and efficacy.\n- Hygiene: Avoid touching the pump directly with your fingers to prevent contamination. Clean your application tools (brushes, sponges) regularly to ensure smooth application and prevent product transfer or skin issues.\n- Expiration: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, usually indicated as an open jar with a number (e.g., `12M`), which signifies how many months the product is good for after opening.
