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.

I would absolutely buy this powder over and over again!

This is my 2nd time purchasing this powder and what I must say is I simply LOVE the fact that you truly don't have to use very much of it to see it! It is INDEED a perfecting powder, and it sets my NARS soft matte complete foundation beautifully! And because you don't need a ton of it, it lasts a while which is a good thing when you wear makeup often like I do! I was hooked on MAC's powder for years, and it's still a good powder, but I prefer this one even more!

My new holy grail for blurring

Surprised by how blurring this went on, not cakey at all like most powders, it just blurs everything in place and good holding power to last all day. I am 40+ and have dry-combo skin and didn't this was going to work for me. I like to mattify my T-zone areas and bought this specifically for that. A few times I oversprayed hydrating mist and turned out to look like a total grease and this saved me without looking overly done.
