I find it difficult to find the right shade of make up for my rather fair skin tone however I have finally found one that is a) not too dark for my skin and b) that actually sits well and lasts all day on my skin. I have been using Nars Sheer Glow for a good couple of years now and love it every time. I love the consistency - its not too thick or too runny, and it is very build-able so I can wear it light or build it up more medium-full coverage when i need to. Although it is a more expensive foundation I have found that the bottles of foundation last me ages!

Tips: It is great to use with a beauty blender.
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.
This foundation was my Holy Grail for 'night out' makeup for maybe a year or more!! I have really oily skin and it just did NOT do the job for me during the day when i wanted minimal makeup as it would totally melt off my face, but it is a totally different story during nights out when i am wearing a full face of makeup!! As long as i use my beauty blender to apply it and have multiple different layers of makeup on (foundation, concealer, BAKING) then it stayed put all through the night. It also seems to have minimal flashback :)
Tips: If you have oiy skin like me, definitely use a beauty sponge to apply, and make sure you bake with powder! The oils will not come through as much if you bake
This foundation is one of my absolute favourites both in terms of coverage and colour. For me, it builds beautifully to a medium coverage which can hide most of my redness and acne scars. The foundation does, however, allow for my natural skin texture to peak through, which I actually like.
Personally, I feel that this foundation is best applied with either fingers or a damp sponge. When blended with fingers it leaves a soft satin finish. However, when used with a damp sponge it truly lives up to its name ‘sheer glow’.
Shade wise I think Nars has a fairly good selection. Generally, I struggle to find foundations that cater to my ultra fair skin tone. However, the shade Siberia is a perfect match as it is very fair with warm/yellow undertones.
Tips: I leave the foundation for a few minutes before applying pressed powder so that it doesn't look cakey.
This is such a great everyday foundation, light but buildable and gives a nice finish at the end. Sante Fe is one of the best colour matches I've ever had in a foundation
This is one of my favourite prouducts ! If in doubt I always go for Nars . I like this product as it’s nice and light but provides awesome coverage without a caked on look. It’s easy to remove and doesn’t clause to many issues with pimples .
I got a sample of this foundation from mecca and I absolutely love it. It blends so well into my skin, making it look flawless without being cakey and unnatural. True to its name it does have a slight glow, which I like. The glow makes the skin look natural and healthy and thankfully doesn't have and glitter in it as some other glow products I've used have (rimmell wake me up concealer). My only real issue with this foundation is that due to my oily t-zone, my forehead and nose get shiny after an hour or two, but this can be fixed by blotting and adding a wee bit more powder. I will definitely be saving up for the full size.
Tips: I usually use my fingers to work this into the skin, and then go over with a brush or sponge to make sure it's completely blended. I find going in with a brush straight away can sometimes make this foundation patchy.
I use this foundation during the summer months when I don’t like the feeling that your face is melting off. I have freckles it offers enough coverage to almost hide them. I like them coming through slightly in summer.
this product is light and easy to blend but I find it doesn’t last all day. I have quite red cheeks and the coverage isn’t as great as I’d want it to be. I use it on days where I can’t be bothered doing a full face
I have been using this foundation for years now and it never fails me.
The range of colours is good, especially for those who have lighter toned skin and is worth every cent,
This foundation has never failed me. It works perfectly for day, but can be built up for a flawless evening look. I have never had any primers that haven't worked with it either!
This foundation lasts all day, it can wear off around contact points on the face but never gets oily and doesn't sit in any lines on your face and has never oxidised on me - all round amazing
It is slightly on the pricier side, but worth it. One bottle lasts around 4-5 months, and that is with everyday use.
Tips: Use a good primer, applies good with a brush or sponge - I think the sponge looks better
