Beautiful but is pricey

Very similar to Mac mineralise spf foundation It Is a beautiful natural light to medium coverage foundation with a dewy finish I don't really like the packaging because I couldnt get all the foundation out towards the end so was quite a bit of wastage that I hate especially for the price.

Tips: I'd say if your looking at a dewy light weight foundation go with Mac mineralise Spf 15 because of price size and packaging

Disappointed );

I though that with all the hype over this foundation that it was going to be my new holy grail... I am so disappointed ); it clings to my dry spots so bad even when I'm wearing a primer! The foundation just sits on top of my skin whether I use a brush or a beauty blender, primer or no primer ); I really wanted this foundation to work for me since there is so much hype over it but I think I'm going to have to look elsewhere. There are still some positives.. The packaging is really nice! And it is a good price! But other than that unfortunately its a pass for me.

O no! I have dry skin and this is what I'm scared of. Will definitely have to try a sample first it seems.

Mmmeeh

I like this foundation... kinda. It gives pretty good coverage and the shade is a good match. I do find that it can sometimes cling to my dry patches on my cheek which is a bummer but I've started using a more hydrating lotion AND primer so I will have less dry areas and it works well but for the price, I expected a lot better.

Also, I dislike that it doesn't have a pump - BUT you can buy them separately (around $4) but what's the point really.

Tips: Use a hydrating primer -- I have combination skin so cheeks are drier and found it clung to that area. Also found that the foundation kind of separated when I used a silicone based primer? Have only seen a few cases where it was the same -- I really like the Too Faced Hangover RX primer with this.

Love it

Nars Sheer Glow is a fantastic foundation for anyone who has duller/dryer skin like I do. It has light to medium coverage, so for the days where those pesky spots show up concealer is definitely needed but overall I would recommend this and repurchase. The only thing, although hydrating, I'm not sure it has improved my skin itself overall but then it is only foundation.

Tips: I would recommend using a beauty blender or a flat top synthetic brush to applicate rather than a traditional paddle foundation brush. Just blends so much better that way.

Fav dewy foundation!

I'm someone with oily skin but I still really like a dewy finish and I feel like I get that with this foundation, I have a glow to my skin even after setting it with a powder. It's super light with medium coverage, which is perfect because I don't think I have a lot to cover; I just want a sheer glow (haha) which I definitely get with this. I especially love the fact that this line of foundations has so many shades, and a lot of them are yellow toned, I don't like the fact that these foundations don't come with a pump so I find that I waste a lot of product. It's also a bit expensive but I still think it's worth it!

Tips: I like to apply mine with a flat top brush

My holy grail foundation

NARS Sheer Glow is the most beautiful, and blendable foundation I have every had the pleasure of applying. I wouldn't call it "sheer" as the name suggests. It give great coverage and lasts all day on my combo skin. It makes my skin look so beautiful and as a productaholic, this makes me happy. Only downfall is it doesn't come with a pump on the bottle.

Tips: I prefer to use a flat or angled top brush to apply this. You don't need too much product either. I tend to then use a damp beauty blender to bounce over parts of skin where foundation tends to grease up a bit first.

All time favourite liquid foundation!

It's really hard to find a foundation in my skintone, so finding NARS Syracuse has been amazing! It's a perfect match to my skin, it leaves my skin with a healthy, natural, dewy glow, it lasts the day or night and doesn't oxidise and turn orange which many foundations in my skinone tend to do. It's a must have and lasts for ages. My one fault is that it does not come with a pump so you have to buy one separately.

Tips: Work this foundation in with your fingers, your body heat will warm it slightly and will blend even better into your skin without having an overly 'cakey' look.

Disappointment city

As with everyone else, for the longest time I was dying to get my hands on this gem! I was in the market for a new foundation in my winter colour so I picked up a sample of this in the shade Mont Blanc.

It was the most perfect colour match for me that I have ever come across, which makes the impending doom that was my experience with this foundation all the more heartbreaking.

I have dry skin, hence the fact I was drawn to a foundation geared towards dry skin folk. However, this foundation just made my face look extra dry and dull.

I applied it on a really dry day, a more normal day, with/without primer and also tried it mixed in with a more hydrating foundation. All were total fails.

It clung to dry patches and broke up on my skin within a couple of hours every time I wore it. There was a win - which was that I didn't waste my money on buying the full size! Hoorah!

Tips: Get your hands on a tester before buying!

Beautiful, but too dewy for oily skin!

I can see this being a dry or normal skin's best friend, but it is sadly not for super oily skin. The finish is beautifully dewy, flawless and lightweight when you first apply, and thankfully it keeps that lovely lightweight feeling all day, but for me, the shine gets out of control. Even with a mattifying primer and powder, I still get shiny after about an hour after applying. If I try to touch up my powder without blotting, the foundation starts to break up on my nose, forehead and chin, and settles into all my pores. It also melts away from the sides of my face and a little under my eyes. I want to love it so badly, I really do - if I wasn't so oily I'm sure I'd love it! The shades also run too yellow or too pink on my neutral skin, and I can't seem to find a nice neutral shade in this foundation. One plus about this foundation is that my skin always feels just slightly nicer after I've worn this for a day and then washed it off, although maybe it's placebo effect as I expect something this pricey to do wonders for my skin.

Tips: Probably best suited for normal-dry skin.

Nars Sheer Glow

I was on the search for a new foundation and after reading reviews on here for NARS Sheer glow I was set on giving it a go! my skin is combination, I can get dry patches and have an oily t-zone. I was originally going to dry the matte version of this foundation but the makeup artist at mecca cosmetics told me it was quite hard to work with, and said to give sheer glow a try. She colour matched me to the shade Deauville which matched perfectly with my skin tone. I love the finish of this foundation, if im wanting just a sheer coverage I apply with my fingers (as recommended on the NARS website) or if I am after a more medium coverage I apply with a damp beauty blender. as I have an oily t zone I do find I have to powder my face after about 5 hours of wear but I don't mind doing this as the foundation still looks fine! ----- can anyone recommend a shade of the NARS creamy concealer that matches the foundation shade Deauville (as I have to buy online)
