This formula didn't work for me unfortunately, due to my skin type. I have combination skin and this wouldn't set nicely and always ended up looking cakey and greasy on me. However, there are a tonne of shades so there's something for everyone. I'd imagine that this would look great on drier skin types.

Not my cup of tea
Tips: Start with a small amount and add extra coverage only to places you need it. It's buildable but only in thin layers.

Holy grail
This is my absolute fave foundation! It sits beautifully on the skin and lasts a long time. I love applying it with my fingers or a wet beauty blender. Well worth the money!

Makes my skin look perfect
I have never come across a better foundation. This foundation works for my dry skin perfectly. It looks completely flawless and not cakey at all. The formula has great coverage and really even out your skin tone. I am absolutely wrapped with it. Well worth the money! I don't think I'll ever need to try another foundation again!

BEST foundation EVER
This is by far the BEST foundation I have found. I have tanned skin and many foundations I have tried end up looking cakey. This foundation gives a radiant look after being applied as it does not have a matte look - personally on my skin colour, matte can make me look cakey.
The foundation lasts all day and it can be layered, personally I just apply one layer as I prefer a more natural look but even this provides enough daily coverage. However, if going to a fancy event this foundation can be layered for a more glammed look without turning cakey as I do when I am going out for special events.
The foundation comes in many shades, and even has a variety for tanned skin. I recently travelled over the holidays and became even more tanned and was easily able to find a darker shade to match my tanner skin.
Tips: Apply primer prior to using it!

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

Amazing brand
Absolutely love the NARS brand, I always followed tutorials with this specific foundation being applied. I love the quality and the long lasting effect it has on the skin. The foundation itself is very smooth and can be quiet thick but honestly I do not mind thick. It is very inexpensive for the brand and high quality it puts out. I would recommend to women that love a good quality foundation that is long lasting and has an excellent finish to your complexion

Perfect Foundation!
It looks completely flawless and not cakey at all, the great thing about it is it comes in various shades which is so helpful for those with fairer skin and those with a darker completion. I find it works great even with people who use fake tan (as its normally extremely hard to find a foundation that matches) It does not feel heavy on the skin and with the right primer will last a long time. I have combination skin and I found it didn't go oily on me or dry up my skin. I paired it with the Laura Mercier Translucent setting powder so its a great combo! The foundation lasts all day and it can be layered which is rare with foundations these days to still look flawless and be layered. I would definitely recommend this product to women who want a flawless foundation. I will definitely be repurchasing.
Tips: Tips: Apply primer prior to using it!

A lovely foundation
I have quite fair skin and it matched quite nicely, with some assistance to help colour match! Gives a nice glow and sits nicely on the skin. I have normal/sensitive skin and it worked well on my skin type.
Tips: Use primer and a setting powder to get long wear!

My favourite foundation
The Nars Sheer glow foundation has to be my #1 foundation. It blends out really well and has a nice coverage, semi to full coverage depending on the layers of product used. Although it is a matte foundation you don't end up looking too dry. Definitely works for me with my combination oily/dry skin. The colour matching is great although I recommend going in to a store to get matched. It lasts well throughout the day/night and it sits well under the rest of my makeup.
Tips: Warm up the foundation on your hand and use a dense brush or damp beauty blender to apply.

This foundation is great if you are not looking for intense full coverage. I have always liked a dewy look over a matte look and this is perfect to achieve this. It does not feel heavy on the skin and with the right primer will last a long time. This product blends very well and you can layer it nicely if you need more coverage. It is a bit more pricey but I think is worth it if you are like me and dont like feeling heavy makeup on your skin.
Tips: I would use a beauty blender for this foundation as it is share and needs very thoughtful and blended placement.
