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! I had been searching for a pressed setting powder for ages and it appears majority of the brands sell this type powder as a loose powder. Anyhow this is amazing, perfect to set the...

    I will certainly be buying this one again and probably sooner than I think - this is the fastest thing I have ever hit pan on - that's why I didn't rate the price so well on this product as at 7g...

    I LOVE this face powder. It has got to be one of the best ones I've used in my life. I always apply this after I put on my foundation, and it makes my skin feel matte and silky soft. Also, it makes...

    This powder made my skin so dried up. Shows more wrinkles after put on. No glow looking at all. Didn't work. Returned.

    At this price tag, I expected this powder to give me that wonderful glow others rave about. It's a nice setting powder, but until it gives me glowing skin, i won't be giving it a glowing review. I...

    I didn't think this powder was anything special. It is very finely milled and set my makeup, but there was a detectable white cast (I'm about an NC25) and I didn't think that it improved (or...

    This is my HG of setting powder. It gives you almost an "airbrushed" look as people have been saying on MUA reviews, it holds makeup ALL day and generally just makes your skin look...
