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.
