I've been wanting to try this foundation for ages but unfortunately they didn't have my shade in Sephora, Denmark. It was either too dark (New Orleans) or too light (Cadiz) and I didn't want to take a risk buying it online and ending up with a wrong shade because after all it is rather expensive.
My sister and I decided to visit our cousins, who live in Birmingham and while we were out shopping one day, I finally got matched in Selfridges and picked up the Nars Sheer Glow in Macao.
Now on to the review. After wanting this foundation for a long time and seeing it praised by many, my expectations were very high and I must say that I was not disappointed. Application wise, this foundation goes on smoothly, blends very well and it feels like velvet when you applied it.
Its medium coverage which I prefer but can be build up to a fuller coverage.
As the name applies it does give a glow/ dewy finish and does not give a greasy look to your skin. The foundation lasted quite a while I would say about 6-8 hours.
I have normal to combination skin and tend to get shiny at the end of the day but using the sheer glow has not left me in a greasy state thanks to the Bioderma Sébium Pore refiner (review coming soon) which I've been using as a primer under this foundation.
I wish that I could have tried this foundation sooner as I am in love with it now and would recommend it.
The only con that I can think about is that this foundation does not come with a pump and I had to buy it separately.
Have you tried the Nars Sheer Glow and what are your thoughts on it?
