As a professional makeup artist, I find the NARS Light Reflecting Facial Mist to be an excellent addition to my kit. Its versatility and lightweight formula make it a go-to product for prepping and finishing makeup looks. I often use it before makeup application to hydrate the skin, as it helps create a smooth canvas that makes foundation and other products glide on more effortlessly.Its reflective properties are great for adding a natural glow to the skin without appearing oily, which is essential for clients who desire that luminous, “lit-from-within” look. It’s especially beneficial for bridal and editorial makeup, where a radiant, healthy complexion is often the focus. The mist also helps to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, which is great for photography, as it reduces the need for heavy products that might cake or settle.During shoots or long events, I use it as a refreshing mist to revive makeup without disturbing the original application. It does a fantastic job of keeping makeup looking fresh, even in different lighting conditions or after hours of wear. The fine mist applicator is another plus, as it dispenses the product evenly without leaving any blotches or watermarks on the skin.However, for clients with oily skin, I sometimes combine this mist with a mattifying primer or setting powder, as it can lean towards a dewy finish. Additionally, it’s worth noting that while it extends makeup longevity, it’s not a heavy-duty setting spray, so for very long-wear situations, layering it with other setting products might be necessary.
