I used a few samples of this some time ago to see it it would work for me and I thought it was a nice dewy foundation. A brush doesn't work with this for my dry skin and neither did my fingers which surprised me, so a sponge it was. I found it applied best after my moisturiser had fully absorbed into my skin otherwise the product tended to move around a bit while applying it. I think they need more shades for olive skintones; I am a tan warm olive. The closest shade to me was too yellow which is really what stopped me from buying a bottle, as it is not cheap. I would say this is a medium to high coverage even though it has sheer in the name. I only apply a thin layer and I think it's looks the best without powder, but later on in the day it starts to look a bit shiny and I have dry skin. I think if I ever decided I wanted an actual foundation other than my much loved Colourpop tinted moisturiser, then this would be a contender.

This is hands down the best foundation I've ever used. I bought it for my wedding - never would have bought such an expensive product otherwise but it really is worth it. It goes on super easily, blends well, great coverage and smooth soft finish. It works great on my oily skin too. I've tried other luxe foundations recently but this one is definitely the best for me.
This foundation looks sheer and glass like when applied upto two hours and then it turns oily. It make you look full and oxidises fast. Doesn’t look dewy after a few hours
Tips: If you have oily or combination skin avoid this foundation or apply translucent powder all over your face
The Nars Sheer glow foundation has to be my #1 foundation. It blends out really well and has a nice coverage, semi to full coverage depending on the layers of product used. Although it is a matte foundation you don't end up looking too dry. Definitely works for me with my combination oily/dry skin. The colour matching is great although I recommend going in to a store to get matched. It lasts well throughout the day/night and it sits well under the rest of my makeup.
Tips: Warm up the foundation on your hand and use a dense brush or damp beauty blender to apply.
I have quite fair skin and it matched quite nicely, with some assistance to help colour match! Gives a nice glow and sits nicely on the skin. I have normal/sensitive skin and it worked well on my skin type.
Tips: Use primer and a setting powder to get long wear!
It looks completely flawless and not cakey at all, the great thing about it is it comes in various shades which is so helpful for those with fairer skin and those with a darker completion. I find it works great even with people who use fake tan (as its normally extremely hard to find a foundation that matches) It does not feel heavy on the skin and with the right primer will last a long time. I have combination skin and I found it didn't go oily on me or dry up my skin. I paired it with the Laura Mercier Translucent setting powder so its a great combo! The foundation lasts all day and it can be layered which is rare with foundations these days to still look flawless and be layered. I would definitely recommend this product to women who want a flawless foundation. I will definitely be repurchasing.

Absolutely love the NARS brand, I always followed tutorials with this specific foundation being applied. I love the quality and the long lasting effect it has on the skin. The foundation itself is very smooth and can be quiet thick but honestly I do not mind thick. It is very inexpensive for the brand and high quality it puts out. I would recommend to women that love a good quality foundation that is long lasting and has an excellent finish to your complexion
I was excited to get a sample of this from Mecca which was enough product to try 4 times. I have dry skin so it sounded perfect and works so well for many but I wasn't in love with it. I thought it would be more hydrating on my skin. I also found one application to be quite light coverage but if I built it up and started to look a little cakey. Maybe it's better suited to younger skin ? I wouldn't say it's bad at all, but just not quite right for me unfortunately
This is by far the BEST foundation I have found. I have tanned skin and many foundations I have tried end up looking cakey. This foundation gives a radiant look after being applied as it does not have a matte look - personally on my skin colour, matte can make me look cakey.
The foundation lasts all day and it can be layered, personally I just apply one layer as I prefer a more natural look but even this provides enough daily coverage. However, if going to a fancy event this foundation can be layered for a more glammed look without turning cakey as I do when I am going out for special events.
The foundation comes in many shades, and even has a variety for tanned skin. I recently travelled over the holidays and became even more tanned and was easily able to find a darker shade to match my tanner skin.

I’ve had this sitting in my vanity for ages and finally got around to trying it. I love how easily it blends into the skin with a sponge (my favourite way to apply) . It is a medium consistency but can be tricky to get out of the bottle. They do sell a pump which I will be purchasing but it is a little annoying that you pay so much for a foundation and then have to shell out more money to get it out of the bottle. It is however a beautiful foundation it gives a medium natural coverage and lasts all day on my skin. I am quite oily and while this foundation holds up really well it doesn’t stop any of my oils. I do look quite oily at the end of the day but it looks beautiful once touched up with a little bit of powder. This isn’t a cheap foundation but it’s definitely one of the best I’ve tried. I’ve worn this foundation both day and night and because it feels so lightweight it is really comfortable to wear .
