Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

I'm someone with oily skin but I still really like a dewy finish and I feel like I get that with this foundation, I have a glow to my skin even after setting it with a powder. It's super light with medium coverage, which is perfect because I don't think I have a lot to cover; I just want a sheer glow (haha) which I definitely get with this. I especially love the fact that this line of foundations has so many shades, and a lot of them are yellow toned, I don't like the fact that these foundations don't come with a pump so I find that I waste a lot of product. It's also a bit expensive but I still think it's worth it!

NARS Sheer Glow is the most beautiful, and blendable foundation I have every had the pleasure of applying. I wouldn't call it "sheer" as the name suggests. It give great coverage and lasts all day on my combo skin. It makes my skin look so beautiful and as a productaholic, this makes me happy. Only downfall is it doesn't come with a pump on the bottle.

It's really hard to find a foundation in my skintone, so finding NARS Syracuse has been amazing! It's a perfect match to my skin, it leaves my skin with a healthy, natural, dewy glow, it lasts the day or night and doesn't oxidise and turn orange which many foundations in my skinone tend to do. It's a must have and lasts for ages. My one fault is that it does not come with a pump so you have to buy one separately.

As with everyone else, for the longest time I was dying to get my hands on this gem! I was in the market for a new foundation in my winter colour so I picked up a sample of this in the shade Mont Blanc.

It was the most perfect colour match for me that I have ever come across, which makes the impending doom that was my experience with this foundation all the more heartbreaking.

I have dry skin, hence the fact I was drawn to a foundation geared towards dry skin folk. However, this foundation just made my face look extra dry and dull.

I applied it on a really dry day, a more normal day, with/without primer and also tried it mixed in with a more hydrating foundation. All were total fails.

It clung to dry patches and broke up on my skin within a couple of hours every time I wore it. There was a win - which was that I didn't waste my money on buying the full size! Hoorah!

I can see this being a dry or normal skin's best friend, but it is sadly not for super oily skin. The finish is beautifully dewy, flawless and lightweight when you first apply, and thankfully it keeps that lovely lightweight feeling all day, but for me, the shine gets out of control. Even with a mattifying primer and powder, I still get shiny after about an hour after applying. If I try to touch up my powder without blotting, the foundation starts to break up on my nose, forehead and chin, and settles into all my pores. It also melts away from the sides of my face and a little under my eyes. I want to love it so badly, I really do - if I wasn't so oily I'm sure I'd love it! The shades also run too yellow or too pink on my neutral skin, and I can't seem to find a nice neutral shade in this foundation. One plus about this foundation is that my skin always feels just slightly nicer after I've worn this for a day and then washed it off, although maybe it's placebo effect as I expect something this pricey to do wonders for my skin.

I was on the search for a new foundation and after reading reviews on here for NARS Sheer glow I was set on giving it a go! my skin is combination, I can get dry patches and have an oily t-zone. I was originally going to dry the matte version of this foundation but the makeup artist at mecca cosmetics told me it was quite hard to work with, and said to give sheer glow a try. She colour matched me to the shade Deauville which matched perfectly with my skin tone. I love the finish of this foundation, if im wanting just a sheer coverage I apply with my fingers (as recommended on the NARS website) or if I am after a more medium coverage I apply with a damp beauty blender. as I have an oily t zone I do find I have to powder my face after about 5 hours of wear but I don't mind doing this as the foundation still looks fine! ----- can anyone recommend a shade of the NARS creamy concealer that matches the foundation shade Deauville (as I have to buy online)

This stuff is the bomb dot com!!!! A bit on the pricier side of foundation but definately worth the investment. It does everything it says it does. I bought the colour Fiji and it is a great match. The foundation provides a dewy finish and I have pretty oily skin so find that no matter what liquid foundation I use I haveto apply powder-p.s it is not a sheer foundation and def provides a good coverage without looking cakey which is what I was looking for too so once again Nars I am impressed! :D

I've been through a few bottles of Nars Sheer Glow, in the shade Mont Blanc, and it is, hands down, the best foundation I've tried. It ironically is not sheer and not all that glowy either. It has a more of a satin finish that, throughout the day, creates a natural skin-like appeal. One pump of this product is enough for medium coverage over the entire face, and it's incredibly blendable so can be built on for a higher coverage, if that's your thing. I set it with a finishing powder, not a mattifying powder, and don't find myself looking shiny at all by the end of 12 hours. When I first tried this out I had more oily skin, now I'm more on the drier end of the scale and Sheer Glow has worked every time. I don't have a bad word to say about this foundation. NARS, as a brand, are of incredible quality and versatility, so I would definitely recommend checking this one out if you're near a counter!

I find putting it on with the real techniques buffing brush then patting over top with a damp beauty blender is the only way it will go on nicely. I have tried many other techniques and have spent hours watching tutorials on how to apply it but only one way works without making it streaky. Gives a medium coverage but is buildable.

I had heard so much about this foundation so I went out and decided to give this a try for myself. I love it. The formula is really nice and smooth. It felt like I didn't have any foundation on. I got a really good full coverage look with minimal effort. This blended really easily. I used a sponge to apply this foundation. I found it hard to get the product onto the sponge. I love this foundation, it is worth the money.
