description

This iconic formula locks makeup in place all day with a luminous finish. Lightweight and easy to blend, it effortlessly sets foundation without adding additional color or coverage. Powered by NARS’ Light Reflecting Complex, it optimizes light reflection on the skin, creating a soft-focus effect by optically fading fine lines, wrinkles, and pores. No-flashback formula features Photochromic Technology, which diffuses and adjusts to new sources of light, so skin looks perfect in person, and on camera. Available in four shades for all skin tones.

    So this is pretty magical (I use the shade Crystal) and it's the lightest, most dreamy, diffusing but undetectable powder ever. It's the opposite of cakey and it extends the wear or whatever is...

    I am 65 with pretty good skin. This is my favourite powder as it is talc-free, non-drying and does not have GLITTER! I am just about to finish my second compact. The first one was bad as the...

    *THIS IS FOR THE SHADE CRYSTAL* I feel like I am giving this too high of a review because as a setting powder- it’s really nothing to write home about. However, I am going to stick with four...

    Not a fan. By "light reflecting", I was thinking along the lines of Mac's Mineralize - but this product is Twilight-level sparkly. My bad for buying it online based on the positive reviews...

    I will be brief. I really like this powder, but I have a few issues with it. 1, it's very expensive, prohibitively so. (I can't afford to spend €36 for something I use every day, but that won't go...

    I only use this powder to set concealer. It's finely milled and gives me a very slight glow, which looks great under the eyes. However, I do not like this to set foundation because it can make me...

    I like the powder itself and love the fact that it's paraben-free, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic, but don't like the packaging. It is ridiculously impractical. Sure, the sleek black compact...
