NARS Cosmetics Sheer Glow Foundation (Various Shades)

Probably the best foundation I have ever tried... EVER! I will definitely repurchase it when I run out of this baby.

I decided to purchase Sheer Glow after making the choice to only use cosmetics that are not tested on animals. Nars are a cruelty free brand and I've heard great things about this foundation. Pros: Excellent shade range especially for someone like me who is fair skinned Good coverage that is buildable to suit a variety of peoples needs/tastes A little bit of product goes a long way Not thick/cakey Cruelty free!! Cons: The cost The fact you have to purchase a pump separate On my normal/combination skin I do find that after wearing this foundation throughout my working day it can get really quite gross and oily around the nose and chin area. I've never had to use powder before but I think for me personally to use this foundation I will have to start powdering these areas after applying my foundation. However, this is not a big deal and most foundations tend to go a bit gross later on into the day. Overall, I do think that this is a great foundation and it is certainly worth a try at least once. I begrudged paying the full price for it but we'll see..maybe it'll be worth it.

Amazing product love it,have been searching for a good foundation for a very long time and now I couldn't be happier.

Absolutely love this foundation, beautiful flawless coverage. The cream concealer by nars is also a fav of mine! I wear Barcelona with ginger for concealer. Will be my go to foundation now beats Mac by miles! Look fantastic were equally brilliant and when I needed to return the incorrect shade processed the return very quickly and refunded my account in under the 2 week time allowance. Would highly recommend for beauty purchases :) xx

This product does not create a glow, as the name would suggest. Its a medium coverage, mattifying foundation. I have normal to dry skin and I need a heavy moisturizer and primer to make this product go onto my skin nicely and not look slightly cakey. It's buildable which is good, but I don't think it's a stand out product. I've tried much cheaper foundations that look better. It may be better suited to oily skin. It's a good foundation, but not at that price.

Such an amazing foundation , love the finish and colour defiantly my new favourite

i'm in love with this foundation. It has great coverage, but doesn't look super caky. It blends easily, I would say the coverage is medium, could be built up to a high. It adds beautiful glow to the skin. I always set it with a powder and with a primer underneath it lasts whole day and doesn't budge. I have very oily skin and every foundation just slides of my face. My skin is also acne prone and I haven't noticed any break out from this. One of my main concerns with foundations, is the right shade. i'm very pale and the shade Siberia is just perfect match, I couldn't be happier. I also have large pores and ice pick scars on my face, most foundations tend to emphasize it. This foundations just smooth over any uneven texture, it doesn't emphasize dry flakey skin. I read several reviews saying that it clings onto the dry patches, but It doesn't. It's like magic, because all the foundations II've tried before do that. This foundation is similar to Luminous Silk by Armani, however Armani one makes my dry patches look even worse. So I love this one, will definitely repurchase, despite the price.

I love this foundation, its my all time favourite, great for everyday wear as well as for occasions. Great for sensitive skin, doesn't make you look cakey if you want more coverage.

I was so excited to try this foundation as I had heard such good reviews. I have acne scars and combination skin so really hoped this would be the foundation to make my skin look amazing! Unfortunately even a small amount after a while makes my skin look very cakey & my face goes shiny after a couple of hours. I have tried with primers, powder, setting sprays etc & nothing seems to make a difference.

I decided to buy this foundation after seeing many beauty bloggers hailing it their Holy Grail foundation. Having usually bought high street / drugstore foundations such as Max Factor Luminosity & Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, I was excited to try and high end foundation and see the difference. I was matched with Fiji (on pale days) and then Punjab (bit more tanned) and it really is a great foundation. The thing I noticed the most was how blendable and smooth it was (particularly with Zoeva Silk Finish brush). However, as someone who likes the dewy look, I wasn't that impressed. It was quite a heavy foundation (not sheer at all) and not very glowy - almost a matte finish. That said, it works great using an illuminating primer or highlighter. It stays all day when wearing a good primer (I used Loreal Lumi Magique) but really clings to dry patches on sweaty days and found it came off rather easily when I didn't wear a good primer or powdered. Overall, when used with the right products like a good primer and setting powder it is really as amazing as people say it is. Looks smooth and flawless, easy to blend, buildable. Just if you are looking for a dewy glowy foundation, this isn't it!
