NARS Light Reflecting Foundation (02170) (30ml)

I like this foundation because it puts little strain on the skin, yet still makes the skin look beautiful and even. It doesn't have much coverage, but it's a foundation that somehow makes the skin look beautiful. It doesn't feel thick at all. It doesn't contain any fragrances, so I recommend it to people with sensitive skin or odors, or those who like a bare skin feel.

It makes your skin look naturally beautiful, and since you can apply it with your hands (apparently recommended by beauty advisors), you don't have to worry about the puff, so it's easy. My strawberry nose is a little more noticeable up close, but it hides the black pores and the redness on my cheeks pretty well. It doesn't control the shine on my nose, but even after a hard workout and sweat, it just shines and doesn't come off at all (at least in winter). This is my first time using department store cosmetics, and I think it's already a great purchase at the start of the year, on par with best cosmetics.

As its reputation suggests, even if you have various skin problems such as redness, the result is smooth and moisturized, and I am very satisfied.

This is amazing, it's the best. I can clearly see my facial bones becoming more prominent, something I've never noticed with foundation before. My face is flat and not very contoured, so I can't say I love my profile! But when I use NARS foundation, it really emphasizes my nose! It really does! I love it! It makes my face look so three-dimensional, it makes me feel like I have an actress inside me! I wonder why, maybe it's the effect of light or something? I apply it by hand, sometimes with a brush, and it's always different, but the three-dimensional finish remains the same. I've tried using different types of powder afterwards, but it didn't affect the three-dimensional effect. It's also excellent when combined with a primer, and I haven't noticed any flaky buildup yet. When I use a NARS primer, the three-dimensional effect is enhanced with a glossy finish, which is very beautiful. However, the foundation itself isn't shiny, so it doesn't stand out and doesn't make my skin look too artificial, which I like. I'm not a big fan of Shiseido's serum foundations, which have a shiny, oily finish, but this one has a shiny finish that I personally consider semi-matte. In recent years, thanks to the Korean trend, dewy, glowing skin has become the norm, but I just can't help but feel uncomfortable with it. It makes me think, ``Is it like vinyl skin?'' or ``I'm using oil?'' or ``It's just shiny.'' I think truly beautiful skin isn't shiny, but rather matte and soft like a baby's. This foundation gives off that same feeling, without any unnatural shine. And it doesn't come off. I have dry skin, and my T-zone gets super shiny, but this foundation doesn't look shiny at all, even at times when I know my face is about to explode. Touching it up is easy, just dabbing it with a tissue, and best of all, it doesn't get stuck in my pores, so I have no worries! I don't have to worry about it being bumpy. It's smooth and glides on well, doesn't harden quickly, but isn't too runny either, so it's easy to apply and I can't really find anything bad about it. If you want a foundation that doesn't crumble and creates a three-dimensional look, this is one you won't regret. I'll buy it again when I run out, but with the rapid turnover in the cosmetics world these days, I'm sure there will be a new product out by the time I finish using it. I hope the finish doesn't change.

It has a light texture and is perfect for those who want a natural finish. It's easy to spread with your hands or a sponge. I haven't had any skin problems. 2174 was the color recommended by the store clerk, but when I actually tried it on, it felt a little dark and yellowish on my skin, so I wanted a lighter color too! There are a wide variety of colors, so I'm on a quest to find the one that's perfect for me.
