Review Nars Sheer Glow

I wanted to share my thoughts on the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation which I have been wearing daily now for the last couple of months. I know this product has been reviewed to death and talked about constantly in the beauty community and since purchasing, I can see why.

I was hesitant at first to purchase this foundation as I have oily skin, however after reading several reviews boasting of it's misleading name and somewhat matte appearance, I thought I would bite the bullet and give it a go. 

I found the foundation very easy to work with and apply it using a real techniques buffing brush. Despite its thick creamy texture, it feels light on the skin and provides a beautiful appearance. The coverage of the foundation is good and definitely buildable, I only wear concealer underneath the eyes to conceal dark circles, the foundation is all I need to cover the rest of the skin. I went for the shade Punjab which matched my skin tone pretty perfectly. I think the 'glow' name is definitely misleading as I think the finish is more of satin look and I feel that normal to combination skin tones should definitely give it a try. However I did need to powder this foundation with a light translucent powder and have to retouch the powder throughout the day as the oiliness began to show through after a couple of hours. 

It contains no spf so is perfect for a night out to guarantee no flashback in photographs.

As for the products packaging, it would be much easier and hygienic to apply if it came with a pump, although this can be purchased separately.

Despite the beautiful finish of the foundation and flawless appearance it provides to the skin, I think my oily skin would benefit from a more matte foundation.  Even so it's a beautiful foundation and one that I would definitely recommend giving a try if you haven't yet.
