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.

Reviews
This is a very nice hydrating foundation. It gives a sheer to medium coverage if built up. It does not look cakey, however, I found that the foundation doesn't look as nice by the end of the day. After wearing it for about 4/5 hours it begins to slide around my nose and become a bit separated in certain areas. Would not recommend this foundation for oily skin as it is quite dewy but for dry skin, it gives a very nice glow. If this foundation were less expensive I would give a higher review however for the price I believe it could do better.
Tips: should be paired with a good setting powder/spray for longer wear
I was looking for something a little dewier when I tried this foundation, and it did deliver on that promise. It gives a light coverage, but I found it was absorbed by my dry skin quite quickly when I used a brush so I had to really work on the application. Not something I'd use all the time, I prefer foundation that has a little more staying power, but great for a change, or when you want a fresh, light coverage.
Nars radiant long-wear foundation is nice and smooth to apply. It seems to work well for Oily skin types, it’s great because it’s really buildable if you want a nice light Coverage look. And can build up for a nice full coverage to look. I probably won’t buy it again but will definitely will finish using the product. - The Nars foundation tends to apply better with a brush better then a Beauty blender for a more natural look.
I loved the sample I got of this from mecca, so I ended up purchasing the full size eventually. I'm not sure anymore, I find it really does oxidise on me after a while and I ended up looking orange and just weird. It does giving quite a nice glow but I don't want to be orange and glowing. I will keep it though and maybe mix with a lighter foundation shade.
Tips: Applies well with a wet beauty blender or a brush, I find it works best with a blender sponge.
I've recently started trying more glowy/sheer foundations since I've always worn full coverage foundation and bought a bottle of Nars Sheer Glow. It is definitely a light/medium coverage foundation which you can build up if needed. I found that it didn't have the staying power that other foundations have though however this might just be me! Even though it didn't stay on as long as I would have liked, it applied very smoothly and I did like the look it gave my skin. Definitely would try it again.
I brought this foundation out of pure curiosity, everything if good about it, its just that I prefer a fuller coverage, the texture is very light and soft, it applies very easily and is easy to blend, please note if you are looking for a foundation to cover acbe and scars etc this is not for you. this foundation reflects the light, so you end up with a white face
I like this foundation... kinda. It gives pretty good coverage and the shade is a good match. I do find that it can sometimes cling to my dry patches on my cheek which is a bummer but I've started using a more hydrating lotion AND primer so I will have less dry areas and it works well but for the price, I expected a lot better.
Also, I dislike that it doesn't have a pump - BUT you can buy them separately (around $4) but what's the point really.
Tips: Use a hydrating primer -- I have combination skin so cheeks are drier and found it clung to that area. Also found that the foundation kind of separated when I used a silicone based primer? Have only seen a few cases where it was the same -- I really like the Too Faced Hangover RX primer with this.
I had my eye on this foundation for a long time, it was on the top of my want list but because of the price I never purchased it.
It wasn't until I was in Sephora and I saw the formula for myself, the lady used the back of my hand to apply some foundation and it just merged with my skin. I was SOLD. 2 minutes later I was the proud owner (finally) to Nars Sheer glow. Also I found the color selection for medium skin tones to be incredible, I had never seen so many choices for us medium skinned ladies.
I have normal to combination skin, my forehead can get slightly oily towards the end of the day so I was interested in how this would work with my skin.
I didn't purchase a pump when I brought this so when I use this foundation I just tip it on the back of my hand. The foundation was filled all the way to the top which was very impressive.
I found it very easy to apply to my face, it was easy to buff into the edges of my nose. I did see that it didn't layer very well, if you add too much the product would slide around on your face. You can add one decent layer which gives you a medium coverage. You can apply this lightly to give you a natural look too.
This foundation gives a beautiful gleam to your skin, I love how it makes your skin look when its first applied, I use setting spray to set the foundation as I find powder makes it matte.
After 4-5 hours of wear time this foundation makes it look like Im literally sweating on my face, this is the time I use a bit of powder to get some of that shininess away. A few hours after that I need to remove it as it looks messy. It moves my contour and everything feels like its sliding down south. So if I use this foundation I make sure Im only wearing it for a short amount of time.
I would not recommend this to people with oily skin. I like to wear this as a light coverage foundation. I dont think I will repurchase after I have used this bottle but try their BB cream instead.
I used a few samples of this some time ago to see it it would work for me and I thought it was a nice dewy foundation. A brush doesn't work with this for my dry skin and neither did my fingers which surprised me, so a sponge it was. I found it applied best after my moisturiser had fully absorbed into my skin otherwise the product tended to move around a bit while applying it. I think they need more shades for olive skintones; I am a tan warm olive. The closest shade to me was too yellow which is really what stopped me from buying a bottle, as it is not cheap. I would say this is a medium to high coverage even though it has sheer in the name. I only apply a thin layer and I think it's looks the best without powder, but later on in the day it starts to look a bit shiny and I have dry skin. I think if I ever decided I wanted an actual foundation other than my much loved Colourpop tinted moisturiser, then this would be a contender.
