NARS Light Reflecting Foundation - Vienna (Light 4.5) 30ml/1oz

I absolutely love this foundation. For one it feels amazing on your skin and you can tell the skin does well with the ingredients in it. I love that it can look glowy and natural or glam with a natural finish to it. I especially love the new shade Cordoba.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this foundation! It can be layered for more coverage, or worn light for a more daytime/casual look. My skin looks healthy. I have had several people want to know what I was doing different with my foundation when I switched to this particular formula! Please don't discontinue!!!!

I am 68 y/o and have had a difficult time finding a foundation that doesn't look cakey or accentuate the lines around my eyes. This foundation provides what I want in this respect. I first tried it at my daughter-in-law's house. I was a little hesitatant to buy because it cost more than I was used to paying for a cosmetic, but after using for a couple of weeks I realized this bottle will last me many months because of how well it applies and covers. I actually use very little for complete coverage and I feel it gives me the best results I've had for many years.

My favorite all around. Works as a light application foundation as well as full coverage. It's smooth, moisturizing, and creates a great base for the rest of your makeup. All other products applied on top with Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation apply seamlessly! Perfection!

Applies well with damp cosmetic sponge, buildable coverage. Light sheer or medium coverage. NARS recommends to apply with fingers, but I find it blends more smooth and even with a damp cosmetic sponge.

This is the third purchase of the NARS Foundation. I know this product I am reviewing is slightly different, but this is my third time purchasing a NARS foundation similar to this one. I like this one as well. The shade I use is the EXACT color of my skin. It looks exactly like my skin. It looks beautiful. There is a glow but it is very subtle, especially for someone my age. I will continue to purchase because I love this foundation. I love foundations that match my skin and undertone.

This is great foundation. Unfortunately, I decided to get clever and try a different shade from my usual, and this is a bit dark on me, so I'm mixing my old one and this one for a good summery shade. Such a great formulation. It works on my 52-year-old skin with no creasing, and good hydration. I use the Milk hydro grip primer.

I bought this because it was recommended for "mature skin" as foundations often cake into lines, enhancing them. Unfortunately the reason this doesn't do that seems to be because it barely provides any coverage. I have some redness in my face and it doesn't help hide it.

The formula is great, light but gives good coverage. I suffer from sensitive skin where any makeup breas me out, but this foundation has never ever broken me out, it is my holy grail. Unfortunately this shade did not suit me, I usually use Tahoe but I thought this matched my skin better and I was wrong. THe one star missing is because of the shade range, I don't think I can continue using NARS foudations because I always get feedback from friends that the shade is off.

I do love the formula of this foundation but I am not able to get a good color match. The combination of Oslo and Mont Blanc gives me the perfect color match but I do not want to have to buy 2 shades in order to make 1 good shade. The foundation is too expensive for that. I also tried shade Yulong which also was not a good color match. Too bad! For now I will stick w Patrick Ta crème foundation in fair 2 which matches my color perfectly. I have dry, mature skin with rosacea. I am really disappointed I am not able to find a good color match.
