NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder.

/

 

I really have a problem with most powders. I need them to set my makeup, sometimes deepen the color and of course, hide flaws. The problem is that many of them actually accent flaws, especially fine lines and wrinkles. Leave it to the master François Nars to create a powder to not only set makeup for flawless perfection, but make it reflecting so that it is not so flat. The creation: NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder.

NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder

This innovative mineral setting powder helps skin “shine through makeup,” enhancing the look of foundation and extending wear - all without a trace of color. That is no easy feat. The powder is made with NARS’ exclusive Light Reflecting Complex.  That means that this translucent powder optimizes light reflection on the skin, optically fading fine lines, wrinkles, and pores and makes skin appear as visibly smoothed. And it doesn't stop there. The formula includes Vitamin E and glycerin to help guard against dryness and provide a beautiful luminous soft matte finish, that is never flat.

NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder is available in two forms, Loose and Pressed. I have been using the Pressed version and it is fantastic in every way. I like to apply it with a large powder brush as the very last step in my makeup application. If I need a touch-up, which I sometimes do around my nose and under my eyes if I re-apply concealer, I press it onto my skin with a sponge.

NARS Light Reflecting Setting Pressed Powder

Each Light Reflecting Setting Powder sells for $34.00.  The Loose Powder is available only at the NARS Flagship store and online at narscosmetics.com. The Pressed Powder will be available at Sephora come February 1, and then at NARS as of March 15.

I am the carry-on queen. I cannot remember the last time that I checked a bag at the airport. I have learned how to pack my beauty items, that is for sure. I do struggle when it comes to skin care and having to use smaller jars. Even though I may have one ounce creams, the jars are just too large to pack and take up unnecessary space. I am thrilled that NARS has just launched two travel sets that will certainly be making my travel and skin care packing struggles much easier.

There are two sleek travel sets from NARS to choose from. Each travel bag contains conveniently sized products from the brand’s new skincare line, developed by Founder & Creative Director François Nars.

LUMINOUS MOISTURE SET


  • Optimal Brightening Concentrate (Full Size)
  • Total Replenishing Eye Cream (Full Size)
  • Multi-Action Hydrating Toner (Travel Size)
  • Gentle Cream Cleanser (Travel Size)
  • Luminous Moisture Cream (Travel Size)
  • Travel Cosmetics Bag

 

LUMINOUS AQUA SET

  • Optimal Brightening Concentrate (Full Size)
  • Total Replenishing Eye Cream (Full Size)
  • Multi-Action Hydrating Toner (Travel Size)

All you have to do is select which bag is perfect for you. I would actually use both. The Luminous Moisture Set for when traveling in the winter; The Luminous Aqua Set for when traveling in the summer.
