Not amazed

Disappointed in this foundation. It always has such good reviews. I have normal to dry skin and it just doesn't work for me the coverage, colour and finish is perfect but it clings to my dry spots I never new I had and also sinks into my fine lines and cakes between my brows after a few hours. Its an ok foundation just not worth the high price tag

Shade selection is amazing!!

I had heard amazing things about this foundation and at the price tag I am glad it lived up to the hype! After saving up and taking the plunge I was surprised with how much I loved the product.

Being quite pale with yellow tones I found it hard to find foundations that were light enough and not pink based! I had been through the range of drugstores and after much frustration tried looking at bigger brands.

I love NARS Sheer Glow as the shade selection is HUGE! The cater for all skin tones and shades and the match was perfect. It is a light to medium coverage but I find this fantastic for everyday wear, it is easy to apply I find it best with a damp beauty blender or your hands (as I was recommended to use by the girls at Mecca.)

The finish is dewy but I find it just gives a healthy glow, and looks quite natural. It is very easy to blend and works well with or without a primer. I do find it does tend to get a bit patchy where my glasses sit but I just take that with the glasses-wearer territory. Any tips on how to prevent/reduce that is much appreciated!

Have purchased again and love it!

Tips: Make sure to purchase the pump - makes your life so much easier!

Holy grail

This is one of my holy grail foundations. I wish there was one or 2 shades lighter though as it does oxodise a little throughout the day which makes the colour too dark for me. This doesn't stop me from repurchasing though. I'm almost due to buy another one as I'm nearly out.

Tips: It doesn't come with a pump but you can purchase one separately and the pump honestly makes it so much easier to use.

Misleading name, still love it though.

This was my first high end foundation. I had bought a few Nars products beforehand and I loved all of them so I was a bit biased when I first used it. When I first put it on, I used a defined buffer Zoeva brush. It didn't look very nice at all. It looked quite cakey and it didn't sit well on dry skin. Also, it looked very matte which I found quite interesting because it was called 'Nars Sheer Glow'. I wore it for a few more times because I didn't want to admit that I had spent a lot of money on a dud product.

One day, I decided to use a beauty blender to apply it and it was SO much better. It looked soo smooth and nice on my skin. The beauty blender made it so that the name actually fit the product. My skin looked so healthy and glowy and natural. Now it is one of my favourite products in my makeup collection.

One thing I found quite annoying was that you have to pay extra for the pump, (which I would definitely recommend) as it means you waste a lot less product. Once you put the pump on, however, you cant put the lid on, so you have to have the pump without the lid. This let the product down for me because I am so big on packaging and because I am paying a lot for this product, couldn't they add the pump for free and make it so the lid can fit on?

Overall, I would recommend this product as it has a beautiful finish with the beauty blender, it is easy to blend and doesn't oxidise.

Tips: I find that using a beauty blender instead of a brush gives a better finish with this foundation.

Definitely Glowy!

This foundation was my Holy Grail for 'night out' makeup for maybe a year or more!! I have really oily skin and it just did NOT do the job for me during the day when i wanted minimal makeup as it would totally melt off my face, but it is a totally different story during nights out when i am wearing a full face of makeup!! As long as i use my beauty blender to apply it and have multiple different layers of makeup on (foundation, concealer, BAKING) then it stayed put all through the night. It also seems to have minimal flashback :)

Tips: If you have oiy skin like me, definitely use a beauty sponge to apply, and make sure you bake with powder! The oils will not come through as much if you bake

Relatively good

this product is light and easy to blend but I find it doesn’t last all day. I have quite red cheeks and the coverage isn’t as great as I’d want it to be. I use it on days where I can’t be bothered doing a full face

Nars Sheer Glow

I personally love this foundation. the coverage is enough to cover my redness, whilst somehow feeling breathable and that some of my skin can show through. Personally not one I would use every day, as I prefer natural less coverage throughout the day, and also because I favor a foundation or a BB cream with some SPF throughout the day. Also is not the most affordable foundation out there but is worth the hype and the price.

Tips: If you plan to wear this in the daytime make sure to put some SPF on under it. Suitable for dry to normal skin types- but would not be suitable if you have oily skin, as it can look a tad shiny by afternoon/ late at night.

Sitting on the fence...

I found this foundation so perfect when I lived in England. I used it for years and absolutely swore by it. It gives a lovely coverage, gave me flawless skin all day, and made my skin radiant. I also tried the matte version which wasn't for me - made my skin look so so dull. Anyway, since moving to NZ I have switched to Cliniques CC cream as I found the Nars too heavy for the warmer climate. It made me feel 'caked' in foundation and if you're in the sun and get warm it can go really shiny. Maybe I'll switch back though, come winter this side of the globe! Overall, a great foundation, lovely coverage but dries quickly so you need to blend it fast. This is beneficial though is you have any pimples or problem areas as you can let it thicken a minute and the coverage is thicker over redness, and the staying power of this foundation is great. Flawless skin, morning til night.

Tips: Great foundation but wear something lighter in warm weather. Apply wth a foundation brush as opposed to finger tips for better, smoother application

To hyped?

I recently purchased this product in the colour 'Deuville', i always wanted this foundation because every beauty blogger seemed to be raving about it and when i finally got it i had mixed feelings. Don't get me wrong i do really like it but i think this definitely not glowy on its own but matched with the right primer it could be. If you're like me and aren't looking for a matte finish then maybe investing in a good skin illuminating or light reflecting primer will give this foundation the extra glow that will leave you looking flawless.

Tips: I recommend this for people with dry to normal skin. Pair with a good primer and maybe a dewy finishing spray for a flawless finish.

Great for fair yellow toned girls

If you are willing to shell out the cash for a decent foundation which is pale enough and the right tone then you can't go wrong with Nars Sheer glow - Siberia and Mont Blanc are extremely pale shades with neutral to yellow bases which are hard to find in most makeup brands - infact I can't find a match in Estee Lauder, MAC, Lancome or Clinique so that is really saying something.

Tips: This is a sheer makeup - the name says it all, don't go expecting full coverage from this one its lovely if you want a light coverage with no cakey-ness.
