Whether you are planning on passing a night full of selfies or want that flawless skin on all occasions, the Nars light-reflecting powder is your new best ally.

The Featherlight Pressed Setting Powder

Lock in place your beauty with the NEW pressed powder from Nars. This ultra-fine powder gives you photo-ready skin all day using a lightweight and easy-to-blend formula. Nars Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder mattifies and fixes your skin without adding additional color or coverage to your look, and the soft-focus finish instantly fades fine lines, wrinkles, and pores. Also, check out the new Light Reflecting Eye Brightener (review here).

Suitable for all skin types, the light-reflecting powder is available in four unique shades. Delivering a flawless finish each time the powder uses two exclusive technologies explained further in this article.

What's Inside?

Below are the key technologies used in the creation of Nars Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder:

• Photochromic Technology: This photo-friendly formula is used by professionals worldwide. Known for its light adapting talents, it keeps your skin safe from that ghostly powdered look on camera.
• Also, the Light Reflecting Complex: This technology captures light and reflects it for a non-shiny soft focus look. Fine lines and wrinkles appear smoother, and pores are minimized.

How To Use It?

You can apply the pressed powder using a powder brush, or for higher coverage, you can use a cushion. Both ways leave a natural finish, but the tapping cushion technique is recommended if you use liquid products such as highlighters and blush.

My Review

With my friend's upcoming wedding, I was looking for the perfect powder, and the Nars Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder delivered!

I love how light this powder is and how comfortable it leaves your skin feeling. I have tried it alone and over makeup, recommend it to Mattify, and lock previous products in place.

The powder leaves no white cast or dull look on photos and is the invisible saviour of your skin makeup. I selected the shade Mesa which is a medium-deep colour. The pressed powder is great for quick fixes and doesn't have too much fall out when being applied. I have used this powder at multiple events and never experienced any pore-clogging or breakouts. Overall, the perfect powder!
