New - NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder

This spring, NARS Cosmetics is introducing an innovative new mineral setting powder, available in both loose and pressed formulas.
The Light Reflecting Setting Powder helps skin “shine through make-up,” enhancing the look of foundation and extending wear.
Containing the brand's Light Reflecting Complex, the translucent powder optimises light reflection on the skin, fading fine lines, wrinkles and pores as skin is visibly smoothed. Ingredients including vitamin E and glycerin help to guard against dryness and provide a soft matte finish.
The Light Reflecting Setting Powder will be available nationwide from 1 February with both the Loose and Pressed versions priced at £25 each. www.narscosmetics.co.uk / @narsissist
