What NARS says about this product: "Light Reflecting Setting Powder enhances the look of foundation without a trace of color and prolongs makeup wear. This silky powder is infused with photochromic technology which diffuses light and adjusts to new sources of light throughout the day. Fine lines, wrinkles and pores optically fade as skin is visibly smoothed."
The Light Reflecting Setting Powder in Chrystal came out with NARS Spring 2013 line.The Packaging top is typical NARS sleek black matte compact that comes with a mirror inside. There is no sponge or poof included. It has no perfume or added scent; however, it does smell bit like cornstarch, but not offensive.
The powder has no color and it should be suitable for all skin tones. It also has no shimmer or sparkle, but it gives a soft satin matte finish with slight glow and it doesn't look all powdery and dry like some other powder do. It makes smaller pores and imperfections less visible and doesn't settle into my fine lines.It photographs beautifully and your skin will look like airbrushed, so whenever you are going to be in photos, you must must use this powder. Did I say must. Seriously.
It last very well though the day; my skin is more on the dryer side with an oily t-zone, and I have to say that the powder took good care or it and my t-zone did not shine. If you have really oily skin you might have to reply during the day though.
I picked the pressed version of the powder because it’s easier to carry around and less messy overall for everyday use, but will definitely check out the loose powders to at some stage.

This is my favorite setting powder at the moment and would recommend this product to everyone!

Sounds like this would be a perfect product for me: my skin is on the oilier side, and I'm always looking for the perfect powder that wouldn't look too cakey. I'm definitely going to give this one a try! Thanks for the inspiration!
