I recently got some samples of Nars sheer glow but was so pleased I had to purchase! I am an nc15 in most Mac foundations but an nc20 in studio sculpt. I am a light colour with yellow undertones. I use the shades deauville for when I'm paler and Santa Fe when I have a tan. I have been so pleased with this foundation. It lasts all through a working day, whereas other foundations including Mac ones tend to wear off. It has a medium to full coverage but doesn't look unnatural. Though I am a matte girl through and through, I like the natural and slightly dewy look of this foundation.

Reviews
I did not understand what all the hype was about until I tried it myself! This stuff is AMAZING. I'm not usually a fan of dewy looking foundations - I'm always scared I'll look oily, but sheer glow really does make your skin look healthy and flawless!
This foundation applies so well, its not too runny or too thick and glides along the skin well. Little product is needed to achieve a fresh look and it lasts all day! Can't wait to use this in Summer!
Its a shame the product doesn't come with a pump - but you can always buy one!
Tips: Apply with a damp beauty blender for a flawless look!
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!
Tips: Blending with a buffing brush is the easiest way to get a fast blend of this product. Damp sponges work also, but move the foundation around a bit first. And, buy a pump! They're $5 from the NARS counter and if you're able to pick one up when they're in stock, do so - you'll use far less product (and thank me later).
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.
Definitely lives up to its name. I'm usually a matte kinda girl but sometimes a girl wanna shine! This is great for days where I want to glow! I'm yet to discover a good dewy finish spray to compliment this as I only ever buy matte. Good buildable coverage. I like a full coverage so I have to go over a couple times and push product into my skin as opposed to buffing in. Pricey but you're worth it and coming from a matte lover - this is a beautiful satin glow finish.
Tips: Great to get a dewy look. Better for drier skin types but if you are a bit oily, moisturise the night before and prime in problem areas before application. Watery so beware. Shake well
If you havent heard about this product? Well, you would be living under the same rock i was about this time last year. The only reason i even found it was because i was on the hunt for a perfect foundation, and after having a not-so-pleasant encounter at MAC, i found myself at the mecca counter getting color matched. At the time, i couldn't afford to splurge on the item, but kept it in the back of my head.
When i saw it for sale for around $50 NZD, i knew it was fate, and i brought it without a second thought.
The packaging. Its sleek, and sophisticated. In comes in a plastic jar, which is a rectangle shape, with a square base. It has a matte black lid which matches the bottle shape perfectly, and it has the word NARS written down the side of the bottle. Like i said, really classy, and the only downside is that this product come with a lid, but no pump. The pump has to be purchased separately, which adds more cost to this product.
As i got colour matched, this foundation is the perfect colour for my skintone (stromboli), and matches my undertones perfectly, which is something i really struggle to find within a foundation.
The foundation is smooth, and almost creamy to look at. Its a lovely texture, and consistency, not to thin and not to thick. It sits on the back of my hand nicely without rolling right off it, so im happy. Its easy to apply to my face too and can either give me a gorgeous sheer look, or i can build the product up to get medium coverage.
I just love the look this foundation gives my skin. It makes my skin look so healthy, and even without looking cakey and gross. Will definitely buy this one again, and next time i might just have to buy the pump as well.
The name fooled me, 'sheer' is not what I go for, I have redness and some pimples on my face so I usually go for the med-full coverage look ! BUT THIS !!! Oh it's perfect, looks like your natural skin, dewy but not oily looking, a little goes a long way AND amazing coverage ! Finally found my holy grail foundation!!
Tips: I used to use a damp Beauty Blender to apply, but I feel a flat top kabuki brush is best and uses less :)
This has to be my go to foundation! I love the fact all i need is a primer and moisturizer to base my face before applying. It is definitely worth the money spent.
Tips: Invest in a good primer!
I love this foundation, this makes me look flawless.. But with my oily skin, it doesn't last as long as mattifying foundations. It's medium coverage, satin finish, which then turns dewy after natural oils come through. I have it in the shade Gobi, (NC15)
Tips: Set with powder if you are oily for sure
Having an exact colour match is really important to me, and Nars Sheer Glow is one of the only foundations I've found so far to have this! There are a really good variety of shades, from light to dark, peachy to yellow. The lasting power isn't that great but I don't mind. Formulation is great - so easy to apply and dries down!
Tips: I think using the fingers to warm it up makes it much easier to spread. It's quite simple to blend!
