Light Reflecting™ Setting Powder - Loose is the NARS bestseller in the shaker jar — a light-coverage loose powder that holds makeup in place for up to a full day and finishes radiant rather than flat. It is the one people reach for when they want their base to last without looking powdered.

What it actually does
- Holds makeup up to all day. That is the core job — locking the complexion down without adding visible coverage.
- Blurs instead of flattening. The Light Reflecting Complex™ creates a soft-focus effect, optically fading how fine lines, wrinkles and pores read.
- No white flashback. Photochromic technology adjusts to changing light, so the skin doesn't ghost in photos.
- Doesn't leave skin parched. Micro-fine mineral powders carry glycerin and vitamin E to guard against dryness and keep skin comfortable under the powder.
- Blends easily. Lightweight texture, which is part of why the brand describes the formula as iconic.
- Awarded. NARS lists this as an Allure Best of Beauty award winner.
How to use
- All over: sweep gently across the face with a #13 Powder Brush (sold separately) to set makeup and get the luminous, camera-friendly finish.
- Targeted: press and roll it into the skin with a powder puff or a #15 Precision Powder Brush (sold separately) to really lock complexion products down.
- Small zones: the pressing method is the one to use under the eyes and around the nose, where sweeping tends to disturb concealer.
Is it right for you?
Yes, if…
- You want long wear without a matte, powdered look
- Fine lines, wrinkles or pores are what you'd like softened
- You are photographed often and hate flashback
- You want a vegan formula with a short exclusion list
Think twice if…
- You need powder to add coverage — this one is light by design
- You want a shine-free matte result; the finish here is radiant
- Loose powder in a handbag worries you — a pressed format travels better
- You are completely fragrance-intolerant; it contains under one percent synthetic fragrance
Questions
Will it make me look grey in flash photos?
It is built specifically against that. The photochromic technology diffuses and adapts as the light source changes, and NARS calls the formula a no-flashback one.
Does a brush come with it?
No. Both the #13 Powder Brush and the #15 Precision Powder Brush that NARS recommends are sold separately.
Is it drying over a long day?
The mineral powders are paired with glycerin and vitamin E, which NARS includes to protect against dryness and keep the skin comfortable while the powder sits.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Stocked items arrive sooner; sourced items take the longer path.
