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.

    I love this setting powder very very much. Photoshop finish, mattifying, subtle radiance. What I don't love is the useless sponge that comes with it; personally I hate compacts which do not...

    For me, this is the very best undetectable setting powder out there - and I've tried quite a few. It feels so light, doesn't leave any kind of chalkiness (don't get me started on Chantecaille's HD...

    It's not a great powder but it isn't bad either. Unfortunately, for the price, I can't justify repurchasing it. It leaves my skin looking matte but not flat. There is some shimmer in it which...

    I love this cause it's so finely milled and leaves the skin looking fresh. I find that some powders make my skin look kinda dull but this doesn't do that and it doesn't leave any white-ish tint...

    Redundant on fair skin tones. Super fine texture and doesn't feel dry once on. It's hard to tell how much you've picked up on a brush, if any. It's definitely not a "setting" powder. More of an...
