Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

Nars has been with me since Day 1 of my make-up wearing days..Sheer Awesomeness! Although, one thing I found when I wore it for my 8-10 hour days was that it would always evaporate from my skin into thin air... But having said that- that problem goes away with a little primer and setting powder! ;) Big Thumbs up for this one <3

I am very particular when it comes to foundation as coverage is mega important to me. The quality of this product is amazing and now I see why everyone was raving about it! As a chronic addict to watching beauty gurus, they all held this at such a high regard that I figured it is best to try it. By all comparisons, it is slightly cheaper than some other high end brands but still just as effective. I couldn't believe how easily it blended, coverage is AMAZING, buildable and products sit on top with ease. Amazing colour range as well. I did buy this online getting colour tested first (Risky, I know!) But the colour still matched perfectly. I am mega pale so having so much colour choice was FANTASTIC. Will always repurchase this to have along side me, even when it comes to trying out others. Love it!

I have combination skin so can get very shiny on my nose in particular through out the day but otherwise pretty Normal. I love this foundation as I would rather have a dewy finish and powder where I get oily. The coverage is perfect for me as I only really need a foundation to hide redness and even out skin tone. The only complaint would be the price and the fact you have to buy a pump. Over all this foundation is great and has a great colour range for pale skin ! Nars is a great well rounder of a brand !

I have always been someone who has reached for high coverage matte foundation, it wasn't till I saw a video of someone trying this foundation that I thought I should try it! Honestly I am so glad I did! For the past 5 months this has been the only foundation I use, I literally dont even glance at my other products now! The foundation gives my skin such a natural dewy glow, which is something i never knew I liked until I used Nars Sheer Glow. A little goes a long way as well, it has a light- medium coverage but is also very buildable, you can build the product up and it still does not come across cakey in the slightest! I wear this foundation most days as I can be sure it will last! Typically apply it at around 9 in the morning and go to work till 6 and then the gym and still find that my skin is still looking great! I honestly recommend this product for everyone to try, because you will walk away loving it!

A beautiful and amazing foundation. I didn't realise how average the one I had been using prior to this had been. A great buildable coverage perfect for slightly problematic skin. I find it masks redness really well and diminishes imperfections.

The finish is very soft and skin-like. Not matte and not dewy. It's great for everyday wear as well as in the evening. Some days it might not have the greatest staying power but I find it fades evenly so you aren't left with any unsightly lines.

I have gone through several bottles in the past year and probably won't be changing anytime soon.

Nars my baby why are you so perfect. My wallet will bleed for you over and over again although the little glass bottle does last quite a while. I don't wear foundation everyday' most days I reach for my Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard to cover a few spots. However, if I am feeling foundationy I will reach for this. The shade I have is in Gobi which is a tad too light for me so I mix it with my trust Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation. The Nars one by itself gives such a nice natural subtle sheen to the face but what I like best about this bad boy is how weightless it feels on my skin. I could do layers of this (which I dont FYI) and it'll just end up feeling like my own skin. The finish is more of a velvet finish, so fear not my oily skin friends, this will work for you too. The coverage is light to medium, but I usually just go over it with a concealer again. I haven't tried many foundations, to be honest. I snob drugstore brands because I'm a snob (hate me idc) so all the foundations I have used are high end. I figured if you're gonna layer this stuff all over your face, may as well splurge a bit.

After hearing a lot of hype about this foundation, I finally decided to ignore the threats from my bank account and purchase it. This was something I really wanted to try because my skin is dry and often foundations end up looking either dull or patchy on me.

The bottle is small and made out of glass. It feels heavy and expensive and really well made. However - this DOES NOT come with a pump. For the price I was a bit annoyed that I had to purchase a pump separately - but I love the product so much that this is an annoyance rather than a serious detriment. Also worth noting is that once you do have a pump, the lid won't fit on the foundation - although the pump itself has a lock to prevent spillage.

I am in the shade Gobi which is rather light with yellow undertones. This is a great match for me and I used findation to match my colour.

The product itself is quite liquidy and not at all thick. True to its name it is sheer - but only in consistency. The coverage it provides is medium and definitely not sheer, although you can still see your skin through one application. My favourite things about this foundation are that - it actually looks like skin, you can build it up and the coverage is great but it still looks like skin (it doesn't make you look cakey at all), and that this is great on my dry skin.

So far I haven't had any issues with this clinging to dry patches or enhancing the dryness of my skin. As the name of the product suggests, it does have a glowy finish but this isn't super dewy. However if you prefer a matte finish then I wouldn't recommend this for you - unless you plan on applying powder over the top.

Yes this is a pricey product. However, you only need a small amount of this to completely cover your face (one pump), so this is going to last a while. This foundation lasts all day on me (12 hours), without patching up or looking weird. I do set this with a setting spray so that possibly helps prolong the wear.

I have tried both a beauty blender and a brush to apply this and have found that - for my skin, a beauty blender is far more natural and flawless looking. In saying that though a brush usually tends to micro exfoliate my skin and I prefer a BB in general.

Overall I am so, so glad I decided to splurge on this. I will absolutely repurchase it even though the cost makes me cringe. It feels lightweight on the skin, gives me a subtle, healthy looking glow and looks natural. I love this!

I was sold on this from reading and seeing another BR member wearing it making her skin glow with health and radiant beauty, so I got jealous and after attaining some samples to colour match myself I purchased from Nordstrom.

I'm in the lightest shade: Siberia

Packaging for NARS is very universal across the whole brand with its texturised black with white NARS logo printed as a lid for the foundation bottle which is made of glass, it just feels luxurious which is what you want for the price you have to pay for this product. Only downside is that Sheer Glow doesn’t come with a pump, you have to purchase this separately (extra $6 usd) but I feel it is best to extend the product by control the quantity used each application. Formula wise this is a moderately thick foundation but not too thick that it sets quickly on your face or drags across the skin, but not so thin that it runs easily, it’s the perfect texture to apply with a dampen sponge to get a flawless even coating. Even though this is called Sheer Glow and I was warned and half expecting my skin to become dried out by the formula, this has yet to happen in fact it keeps my skin in a nice condition, the coverage is a full effect so also helps to cover blemishes and marks. Being a long wear foundation too I saw this coverage hold up with descending into an oily mess or dried up parched look for a full 10-12 hours easily. Removing the foundation was easy too no need for any special remover, just a makeup remover wipe followed by my normal cleanser.

The effect that this foundation gives my skin those is enough to give me goose bumps I am left with a perfect porcelain toned coverage that glows at the right spots, across the cheeks and temples. My skin looks dewy but not oily, matte and soft but not dry and flaky it is just the best I can not rave any more about it, even though it is super expensive even if you purchase in the US it is still one of the most expensive foundations it shows and is truly worth its price tag. I see myself forever in love with this foundation now it is going to take some kind of magic to force another into my heart.
