Nars sweaty glow?

I had my eye on this foundation for a long time, it was on the top of my want list but because of the price I never purchased it.

It wasn't until I was in Sephora and I saw the formula for myself, the lady used the back of my hand to apply some foundation and it just merged with my skin. I was SOLD. 2 minutes later I was the proud owner (finally) to Nars Sheer glow. Also I found the color selection for medium skin tones to be incredible, I had never seen so many choices for us medium skinned ladies.

I have normal to combination skin, my forehead can get slightly oily towards the end of the day so I was interested in how this would work with my skin.

I didn't purchase a pump when I brought this so when I use this foundation I just tip it on the back of my hand. The foundation was filled all the way to the top which was very impressive.

I found it very easy to apply to my face, it was easy to buff into the edges of my nose. I did see that it didn't layer very well, if you add too much the product would slide around on your face. You can add one decent layer which gives you a medium coverage. You can apply this lightly to give you a natural look too.

This foundation gives a beautiful gleam to your skin, I love how it makes your skin look when its first applied, I use setting spray to set the foundation as I find powder makes it matte.

After 4-5 hours of wear time this foundation makes it look like Im literally sweating on my face, this is the time I use a bit of powder to get some of that shininess away. A few hours after that I need to remove it as it looks messy. It moves my contour and everything feels like its sliding down south. So if I use this foundation I make sure Im only wearing it for a short amount of time.

I would not recommend this to people with oily skin. I like to wear this as a light coverage foundation. I dont think I will repurchase after I have used this bottle but try their BB cream instead.

Light weight and lighter coverage

If you're a girl who doesn't like the idea of wearing heavy makeup -- this one's for you! Blendable, light and airy, this one is good for those who enjoy a dewy complexion and don't have much to hide. It also blends beautifully with concealer.

However, I enjoy heavier coverage and found that this tends to come out throughout the day and certainly cannot stay put when you're going out.

Tips: Definitely use a long-lasting primer and set with some foundation.

Mixed feelings.

I was colour matched with the shade oslo. (fair skin with pinky undertones). It is quite a good match for my skin which can be difficult to find in a foundation. I find it provides a light to medium coverage but to achieve medium coverage it can crease into my forehead wrinkles making them look worse. It also doesn't provide enough coverage to conceal redness on my cheeks so it's not my all-time favorite foundation. I think it is fairly expensive considering it has no pump dispenser but I really like the shade so I continue to purchase.

Tips: Get colour matched in store first as there are a variety of shades.

Not hydrating enough for me

I was excited to get a sample of this from Mecca which was enough product to try 4 times. I have dry skin so it sounded perfect and works so well for many but I wasn't in love with it. I thought it would be more hydrating on my skin. I also found one application to be quite light coverage but if I built it up and started to look a little cakey. Maybe it's better suited to younger skin ? I wouldn't say it's bad at all, but just not quite right for me unfortunately

A little patchy

This is a gorgeous foundation, just not for my skin. It looked amazing going on but ended up breaking up around my chin and nose no matter what I did. So gutted because I really wanted to love it.

Great shade range

As I am so pale I struggle to find foundation light enough for my skin but it does not last long on my oily skin and makes me personally look a bit dull.

Nice foundation

This is a very nice hydrating foundation. It gives a sheer to medium coverage if built up. It does not look cakey, however, I found that the foundation doesn't look as nice by the end of the day. After wearing it for about 4/5 hours it begins to slide around my nose and become a bit separated in certain areas. Would not recommend this foundation for oily skin as it is quite dewy but for dry skin, it gives a very nice glow. If this foundation were less expensive I would give a higher review however for the price I believe it could do better.

Tips: should be paired with a good setting powder/spray for longer wear

Nice for a light look

I was looking for something a little dewier when I tried this foundation, and it did deliver on that promise. It gives a light coverage, but I found it was absorbed by my dry skin quite quickly when I used a brush so I had to really work on the application. Not something I'd use all the time, I prefer foundation that has a little more staying power, but great for a change, or when you want a fresh, light coverage.

Nars radiant longwear foundation

Nars radiant long-wear foundation is nice and smooth to apply. It seems to work well for Oily skin types, it’s great because it’s really buildable if you want a nice light Coverage look. And can build up for a nice full coverage to look. I probably won’t buy it again but will definitely will finish using the product. - The Nars foundation tends to apply better with a brush better then a Beauty blender for a more natural look.

Mhmmm

I loved the sample I got of this from mecca, so I ended up purchasing the full size eventually. I'm not sure anymore, I find it really does oxidise on me after a while and I ended up looking orange and just weird. It does giving quite a nice glow but I don't want to be orange and glowing. I will keep it though and maybe mix with a lighter foundation shade.

Tips: Applies well with a wet beauty blender or a brush, I find it works best with a blender sponge.
