NARS: Firming Foundation

Combining its sought after foundation with breakthrough technology, NARS introduces NARS Firming Foundation. NARS creates for the first time a formulation with increased skin benefits that not only reveals a flawless and radiant complexion, but also minimizes imperfections while improving skin’s resilience.

NARS Firming Foundation contains anti-aging properties that firm and lift skin through a Polypeptide Firming ComplexTM while antioxidants protect against free radical damage from the environment. Firming peptides help to relax facial muscle contractions, which over time can cause fine lines. A unique blend of brown algae, organic gotu kola, boswellia and an anti-aging patented Gatuline RP with Vitamin C, combine to effectively promote the production of collagen.

Skin feels significantly firmer and visibly lifted after 8 weeks. Dermatologist tested.

NARS offers a suggested application tip:
Before application, warm foundation by rubbing it in between hands. Working with fingers, place small amount of foundation in the center of face and begin pressing the foundation into the skin. Repeat steps over chin and forehead if necessary. Begin with a small amount and apply more as needed.

NARS is very excited and proud of its newest foundation formulation. They've even extended their foundation shade range to complement the lightest to the darkest skin tones.
