Makeup that behaves like skincare lands in a compact that fits in the palm of your hand.
NARS is amping up the glow. This season, the brand synonymous with bold beauty is turning up the radiance with the newest addition to its Light Reflecting Collection: the Light Reflecting Serum Cushion Foundation SPF 42/PA++. Tucked into a sleek white compact and built for life on the go, this hybrid formula fuses high-performance makeup with serious skincare benefits.
“It wears like makeup, acts like skincare,” said François Nars, Founder and Creative Director. “This foundation is the ultimate formula for radiance.”
With claims of 24-hour hydration, instant brightening, and environmental protection, the cushion foundation delivers more than just coverage. It’s powered by a Triple C Brightening Complex, a trio of vitamin C-rich fruits that visibly improve dullness both instantly and over time. Skincare-Coated Pigments give a natural, skin-like finish that resists caking and creasing, for skin that looks like skin—only better.
The compact features a dual-action teardrop applicator: one side for precision around the nose and eyes, the other for smooth, even coverage. Available in eight flexible shades, from porcelain “Seoul” to golden medium “Barcelona,” the lineup is curated as an easy entry into the full Light Reflecting Foundation range, which includes 36 shades.
The new launch also slots seamlessly into the broader Light Reflecting system—an entire routine designed to create skin that looks lit from within.
Start with the Light Reflecting Tone-Up Veil SPF 27/PA++, a brightening primer with 81% skincare ingredients, including Hyaluronic Acid, a Brightening Pearl Blend, and a Triple Sugar Complex. It preps the skin, boosts moisture, and instantly neutralizes dullness for a smooth, luminous base.
Follow with the Light Reflecting Serum Cushion Foundation, which blends seamlessly while supporting long-term skin clarity and hydration.
To lock in the look, mist on the Light Reflecting Makeup Setting Mist. Its micro-fine formula sets makeup without tightness or tackiness, using Invisible Lock Technology to boost longevity while hydrating the skin for up to 24 hours. With Cacao Peptides and Moringa Seed Extract, it also helps defend against blue light and environmental stressors.
For the final touch, the Light Reflecting Setting Powder (available in both pressed and loose formats, with four shade options) softens the appearance of pores, lines, and texture. Infused with Photochromic Technology, it adapts to different lighting and resists flashback, making it a longtime favorite among makeup artists and beauty insiders.
Together, these four essentials form NARS’ modern complexion wardrobe: prep, perfect, set, and protect. It’s skincare-powered makeup designed to keep up with real life—and look good doing it.
