I really struggle to find foundation that works for me. I'm late thirties, with dryish skin. Many foundations sink into dry bits of skin and make me look older.
This foundation is lovely and fluidy and applies extremely well on dry skin. Especially if you use a blending sponge, dampened, and bounce this product on your skin.
It lasts the day very well on me, and I haven't found it to oxidise very much (doesn't turn orangey). I also find the shade range really good for my colouring however I can't comment on whether it's a good range for deeper skin tones.
I feel like I look fresh, young, natural and dewy with this foundation, but it still provides a really good amount of coverage. It's not full coverage -but almost, which is perfect for me! I've been using this for years and never found anything that I like better. I'll buy it forever!
I am on my fourth bottle of Sheer Glow, it’s easy to apply and gives enough coverage without being too heavy. Builds up nicely and I haven’t had any issues using it with other products over top. My only issue with it is my oily t-zone soon breaks it up without regular blotting or powdering, so I have to be vigilant. I haven’t noticed any serious oxidisation even with my oiliness. I’m trying out the soft matte from Nars so maybe that’ll be my hg…
Tips: I prefer to apply with my beauty blender, as I hate applying foundation with fingers, yuck. Sometimes I have luck with a brush but it’s more consistent with the sponge.
