NARS Powder Foundation SPF 12
Nars Powder Foundation introduces a lightweight formula that provides flexible coverage and protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Enclosed in a luxury compact, Powder Foundation combines the ease of a powder with the performance of a foundation for a polished complexion. Incredibly versatile, Powder Foundation may be applied with a powder brush for a sheer and natural finish; applied with the sponge applicator for a polished and smooth finish; or applied over Nars liquid foundation for a high-performance, flawless finish. Unique to Nars Powder Foundation are the inclusion of active ingredients that offer dual protection against UVA and UVB rays. With an SPF 12, Powder Foundation offers protection against UVB rays, and the addition of PA++ indicates optimal protection against UVA rays that may lead to premature signs of aging, dark spots, and wrinkles.

NARS powder foundation
-05.13.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I have been buiyng this powder for a year and I love it. I always have problems finding a shade that match my skin color (Im hispanic) and the nars in santa fe shade is perfect for me. I set my BB cream or foundation with this powder and I get a matte finish and my make up stay on almost all day.

Not very happy
-05.12.13
The shades were not a good match for my completion . In th store with help of the rep I purchased what I thought was the best shade only to get home and be very disappointed. I really can not wear it. It looks chalky and I would like to return it and find the right product. .

Great Paired with the Liquid Foundation
-05.06.13
Quick Take: oil-free
I use this in Deauville and love it. Unfortunately, it doesn't give me enough coverage by itself, but it really takes my complexion to the next level when used over the liquid foundation in the same shade. Very light weight, you can't even tell you're wearing it!

Nars Powder Foundation (Siberia)
-04.30.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
This has got to be the one powder I truly love. I have very fair skin, and this product is the only one to compliment it so nicely. It feels just like a normal powder, I cannot even tell that it's a powder foundation (except for its excellent coverage).

Review 8 for Powder Foundation SPF 12
Perfect powder
-04.29.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I have been a diehard fan of this product since I discovered it a year ago. I have very light skin (although not perfectly porcelain) and have a hard time finding a powder that matches the colouring of my face and neck, but Siberia does. It gives me the light to medium daytime coverage I would like while evening out my colour without a powdery look left on my face. I have stopped looking for a better product and am happily using this every day.

Amazing!!!! Worth every penny
-04.27.13
This stuff is great! It doesn't cake up but it has great coverage. It's also really thick so you know it's gonna take a long time to hit pan. Definitely a must have

Review 11 for Powder Foundation SPF 12
My low maintenance foundation!
-04.19.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I use the oil free primer with this powder and I can go all day without reapplying. I do prefer to use a brush to apply rather than the sponge. The coverage looks more natural.

Review 12 for Powder Foundation SPF 12
foundation?
-04.17.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free, lightweight, non cakey
this is super light weight non cakey, but i wouldn't call it a foundation unless you really pack it on, with a fluffy powder brush i press this product into my skin and its more of a setting powder nonetheless! i really like it

Review 13 for Powder Foundation SPF 12
Back to NARS... It feels like home!
-04.17.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, oil-free, long wearing
I am back to using Nars foundations... I went to MUFE for a while and had problems with it turning orange once applied. I went to the Sephora store and they tried to match me with the Pro Finish foundation because Duo Mat was being discontinued and it looked great in the store but when I got to the parking lot, it looked orange. I'm 174 in the Pro Finish and 214 in Duo Mat so I had to get used to NARS again. When I wore NARS, I was using Sedona but I found out quickly that the color was discontinued. Sephora associates are helpful but it took me 3 visits to the store to get the right NARS color match (I wear Syracuse but the Sephora represenatives kept suggesting Cadiz and New Orleans which are way too dark and red for my complection). With Nars, the undertone you see is the undertone you get. You don't have to worry about going out in the sun and your foundation looking horrible. NARS was always a favorite of mine but it is expensive but with the dependability of the color, it's well worth the price! I will be buying this product again! Proud to be back!

LOVE it!
-04.12.13
I have very sensitive skin and cannot use mineral foundation but love the feel of powder vs liquid. This is a wonderful product. Great coverage, feels nice and light and hasn't irritated my skin at all. I think it may work best for those with oily skin because it seems to dry it up a bit. I'm a fan!!

made me breakout!
-04.11.13
i wanted to love this foundation but i woke up with white heads all over my chin after wearing this for only a few days. i know that SPF is good for you, but if you have skin that is prone to breakouts then i would avoid this foundation!

Simply Amazing

Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I've been looking for a new powder with more coverage. I'm so glad I listened to my fellow Sephora reviewers! This powder is amazing. It gives me a flawless look & lasts all day. It's worth the $45, trust me.

You really get what you pay for. NARS is true QUALITY. Even though this powder foundation is a little pricey; it is totally worth it. Coverage is amazing. It makes my skin look so velvety. Definitely HOOKED.

Review 20 for Powder Foundation SPF 12
Great Look
-03.29.13
Quick Take: great
Having had so many problems trying to get the right foundation and power to apply on my face; I finally found a good product. I am very happy with Nars. This covers my face but does not look powery. It covers but blends into my skin beautifully. I was so very disappointed with the other powers that I purchased and brought back to store. I didn't think I would find any power that would look right. But now I am very happy with this purchase. And now that I am using primer (which I never new about) it looks even better.
