NARS introduces a new foundation to its popular "Radiant Complexion" line, celebrated for its ability to manipulate light and create beautiful skin. Launching September 13 (Friday), the "Radiant Cream Compact Foundation" is a high-tech hybrid, blending the supple texture of a cream foundation with the sheer coverage of a liquid. NARS' proprietary "Radiant Emulsion Technology" allows the rich, moisturizing cream to adhere smoothly to the skin, instantly concealing pores, blemishes, and fine lines while maintaining hydration. Coupled with the "Multi-Optical Technology" that controls light, it creates a uniform complexion that glows with natural luster and radiance. Its skincare benefits are substantial, and its usability is impeccable. Build coverage as desired, from a natural finish to a full-face look. For an even lighter application, try dampening the sponge before applying the foundation.

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation, available in 12 shades. Refill: ¥5,040; Case: ¥1,260 (NARS JAPAN 0120-356-686 www.narsjapan.com)
