Softness is this stuff

Love the lightness of this powder and how well it goes on my face with little effort and the coverage is amazing on top of my color correction cream and concealer.

One of the few that doesn't live up to the hype!

One of the Few Nars that doesn't live up to the hype! On my mature pores, this only exaggerated them. My Japanese acne and pore powder --for 1/3 the costs blows this product out of the water. Nope--not for me.

Broke in transit-refused to refund

The powder broke and spilled in transit, got everywhere when I opened the box and they refused to refund. Finally after multiple emails having to send and resend pictures, info and dates they agreed to reship. I've been buying NARS for years and have noticed a decline in product quality, but now they just don't even wrap anything.

Wrong Color

Even though I used the color match option this powder was WAY too light for my skin. I had to return it.

No regrets - better than new mac foundation

Nice colour. I was at first concern because there’s not much shade to choose from but it works.
