Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

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 :)

I find it difficult to find the right shade of make up for my rather fair skin tone however I have finally found one that is a) not too dark for my skin and b) that actually sits well and lasts all day on my skin. I have been using Nars Sheer Glow for a good couple of years now and love it every time. I love the consistency - its not too thick or too runny, and it is very build-able so I can wear it light or build it up more medium-full coverage when i need to. Although it is a more expensive foundation I have found that the bottles of foundation last me ages!

I have been using this foundation for years now and it never fails me.

The range of colours is good, especially for those who have lighter toned skin and is worth every cent,

This foundation has never failed me. It works perfectly for day, but can be built up for a flawless evening look. I have never had any primers that haven't worked with it either!

This foundation lasts all day, it can wear off around contact points on the face but never gets oily and doesn't sit in any lines on your face and has never oxidised on me - all round amazing

It is slightly on the pricier side, but worth it. One bottle lasts around 4-5 months, and that is with everyday use.

This foundation is sooo worth the hype! Although it is called sheer glow I don't think there's anything sheer about it, it can be built up to a beautiful full coverage finish. Although glowy it stays all day on my face and doesn't look oily by the end of the day, keep in mind I have dry skin. I wouldn't recommend to those of you with oily skin as you may look like you've dipped your face in oil by the end of the day.

As an avid fan of matte foundation, sheer glow foundation was my first venture into the ‘dewy skin’ look, and I absolutely loved it! The foundation itself is very lightweight on the skin and provides a natural radiant glow. I would say it has a medium to full coverage and is very buildable. I use a damp beauty blender with this foundation and it blends seamlessly into my skin, without looking cakey. I have combination skin and it lasts well on me throughout the day. I would 100% recommend this foundation to anyone who is after a natural glowy look!

Out of all the foundations that I have used in the past, this has to be my favourite foundation. One bottle lasts you a long period, as you only need a little every time. Normally I have dry skin (sometimes combination) and I am always looking for a dewy (but not oily looking) foundation that is lightweight to wear throughout the day. This foundation seems to tick all the boxes. It is light to medium coverage, very buildable and lasts most of the day for me. I have received many compliments on how natural it looks.

This foundation is one in a million for me, I'm on my fourth bottle in the past 4-5 years! I have normal/combination skin but I suffer with with quite bad redness. With most foundations I find that they all look quire cakey on my skin due to my redness but with this one it doesn't. I only need to use a little bit to cover up my redness, it is light weight and goes on the skin smoothly. I use this with the Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer as I like a dewy finish and this works great with it.

This foundation lasts on my skin for up to 5-8 hours without smudging, I used it for both of my school balls and it worked amazing!! I would recommend this foundation for anyone who wants a light-medium coverage and a natural look. Although this foundation is quite buildable.

I have Indian skin and my skin is the fairer side of tan. I used this product in shade Barcelona for one entire year, leaving my Mac Studio Sculpt NC40 aside to try something new. (My assumption was that its more expensive so should be better right?)

This is a pricey product, but definitely a good quality foundation. However, after using it for a year I decided to switch back to MAC.

This was because of the ashy color my skin seemed to look in all my photos during my time using that foundation. In person, it looked natural (only slightly ashy). The thing I have found with the nars range is that it is not as bright as the shades you can find from mac or fenty beauty. If I were to consider all my friends which have used the same shade I would say that this product oxidizes over the day to a grey on most Indian skin types. This is because brown/tan skin (even when you are on the fairer side of the spectrum) tends to need a more yellow/bright base.

Overall my thoughts on the sheer glow is that is would be great, but seems to look ashy on Indian skin tones in comparison to the colours that can be found at MAC.
