Glowy but maybe too much??

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

Expensive but sooo worth it!

I got this bad boy as part of my Superhero mystery shop from the Mecca website. It was $74. At first I scoffed at the price, kinda hoping that I wouldn't love it because of the price but this was not the case.

I went through the painful process of getting my colour match perfectly right. In the end I came to the colour of Sante Fe which is a warm neutral beige colour with a pink undertone. For $74 I kind of expected the bottle to be bigger.

The foundation itself is quite a runny consistency but it isn't too runny that it will run off the brush or sponge. The shade is actually quite light compared to that pictured on the site which is annoying. I could have gone for a slightly darker shade because this colour washes me out a tad.

Despite the mess up in the colour, I needed to see what the huge hype up about it was. The foundation blends in well with a sponge and with a brush but I prefer to use a sponge to have the flawless look. The coverage is quite amazing really. I can go all day and not have to worry about it running off my face, even in the heat!

There is one complaint I have with this. It tends to cling to any tiny dry patch I have on my face. Instead of hiding it like it should, it puts it on show for all to see. Lucky for me I manage to cover it up with concealer over top and a finishing powder.

My skin looks flawless after use. It doesn't make my skin oily or appear like I have caked on makeup. It evens my tone out and hides any redness on my cheeks that I have. It makes a perfect canvas for any other makeup I may put on over top with the exception of the dry patches.

In summary, my skin looks fab (on the most part), it covers most imperfections, it lasts all day long. What more could I want out of a foundation? I am hooked and that $74 doesn't seem so outlandish now considering how much I love it.

Tips: Use a setting or finishing powder.

One of my favourite

After heard lots of reviews regarding of this nars sheer glow foundation I thought I should try this baby. I love to hear and say "it's nars sheer glow". I bought from Mecca Nz website. That customers service is freaking awesome I must say. I gave her my current foundation colour and she came with conclusion via mail and also sent me some my close foundation shade to try on my face. I use that sample for one week so I get idea " should I purchase or not?"

I did purchased and it's cost me 79$ for 30ml bottle which is pretty standard. Bottles has not pump so I don't like it but I survived without and I learned how to talk out foundation without pump....lol. It foundation is literally awesome. I bought shade called Barcelona for winter ( just for reference I Mac nc42)

Nars brand claim that it's buildable, lightweight, flawless, natural glow ( glow doesn't mean like highlighter glow), immediately hydration and skin looks brighter that claim is absulately true. Thi foundation is for Normal to dry skin so who has oily skin I don't recommend. My skin get dry in winter time so it perfect but personally I wouldn't use it in summer because my skin get oily in summer.

Two things I really don't like it first one bottle has no pump because I prefer pump. However if I minuse that point then other thing is foundation has no lasting power. Literally after 6 hour foundation get disappear. If foundation provides long lasting power that I would put this foundation on top my favourite foundation. Oh sorry I forgot to tell you that this foundation has really liquidy consistently so works good underneath eyes which is unusual. I found this foundation work really well with buffing brush instead of sponge this totally my personal preference. Hope I cover everything here. I would repurchase again because there has feather light on skin.

LOVE!!

Brought on because of all the great reviews from youtubers! When I first tried it I did feel it sat patchy in my skin MY when I started using my warm hands and then a beauty blender after I felt it sunk in and sat beautifully! So radiant, lasts the whole day!

Beautiful foundation, not quite pale enough

I love this foundation, it makes my skin look flawless and blends wonderfully. I have acne scars so I generally prefer a very full coverage foundation, I can definitely layer this foundation up to a full coverage without looking cakey at all. The downfalls the price, although I think it's definitely worth the splurge if you can afford it, and a downfall for me is that the lightest shade Siberia is slightly too dark for me (VERY slightly, but I notice it easily) but the neautral, slightly more yellow tone matches my undertones very well.

Tips: Layering this foundation can achieve a full coverage foundation without making you look cakey.

One of the best foundations

I have pretty dry skin and I found this to be the only foundation that didn't cling to my dry patches and could be built up to full coverage. It covered my redness and acne scars perfectly while still having a nice finish. The only downside to this foundation is it's pretty expensive in New Zealand and it doesn't come with a pump, but for how great it is I honestly don't mind paying the extra money.

Tips: Best applied with beauty blender/sponge

Love this foundation!

As an avid fan of matte foundation, sheer glow foundation was my first venture into the ‘dewy skin’ look, and I absolutely loved it! The foundation itself is very lightweight on the skin and provides a natural radiant glow. I would say it has a medium to full coverage and is very buildable. I use a damp beauty blender with this foundation and it blends seamlessly into my skin, without looking cakey. I have combination skin and it lasts well on me throughout the day. I would 100% recommend this foundation to anyone who is after a natural glowy look!

Tips: If you get quite oily during the day I recommend using a setting powder over this foundation or even ‘baking’ the foundation in the areas you usually get oily. Setting spray will ensure the foundation stays on longer throughout the day also!

Siberia - My Perfect Shade

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.

Sheer glow coverage

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 .

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!
