NARS Light Reflecting Foundation

See your skin in a new light. NARS Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation (1 fl oz / 30 ml) is a makeup-skincare hybrid with medium, buildable coverage and a natural, radiant finish, so skin looks lit from within. It instantly blurs imperfections, smooths the look of textured skin and pores, and helps conceal blemishes, dark spots and redness. NARS says the vegan formula is powered by 70% skincare ingredients and is clinically shown to immediately strengthen skin and enhance luminosity.

Photochromic Technology: a photo-friendly powder adjusts your complexion tone to the intensity of the light, so skin never looks washed out in photos. The Light Reflecting Complex pairs light-active micro-prisms with algae extract and Polynesian seawater to boost the look of clarity and moisture.

Breathable, all-day wear. Vegan formula, non-acnegenic (will not clog pores). Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Formulated without mineral oil, silicone, talc, fragrance, alcohol, parabens, SLS and SLES, phthalates, PEG and gluten.

Key claims, as NARS states them from clinical studies on 31 women: immediately reveals a more even skin tone by +93%; improves the appearance of skin clarity over time, even after makeup is removed (six-week study).

Key ingredients, as NARS describes them: Biomimetic Oat visibly improves clarity by reducing the appearance of redness while helping to soothe and calm the look of skin. Japanese Lilyturf immediately strengthens skin's barrier, helping to maintain its moisture. Cacao Peptides and Milk Thistle help reduce the negative effect of blue light and other environmental stressors.

Directions: lift the cap straight up (do not twist) to expose the pump. Dispense one to two pumps, about a pearl-sized amount, and warm with fingertips. Apply starting at the centre of the face and blend outward, one area at a time. Set with a setting powder for longer wear. The glass bottle is recyclable once the pump is removed.
