Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
Hi everyone!!!
I HAVE FINALLY BOUGHT THE NARS SHEER GLOW FOUNDATION. I've been wanting it since like 2012 maybe but Nars wasn't sold in Singapore. When it finally came I was quite broke la to be honest so I waited awhile to get it because I had recently bought other foundations and like it's quite ridiculous la who even needs so many foundations. But anyways I got it cause I wanted a new foundation for my birthday.
This foundation has no SPF so it means that there won't be any flash back when taking pictures with flash which also means this foundation is good for night because you would probably need to use a flash when taking pictures at night and you won't have a ghost face.
The consistency of the foundation is not thick but it's not runny either in my opinion. Its not as light as a tinted moisturiser but it's not as heavy as other foundations I've tried. You can feel that you're wearing foundation but it's not the suffocating kind of feel. I hope it makes sense. Basically, it wear comfortably.
The colour rage is amazing! They have like ten million shades so you will probably be able to get a shade for yourself. They also run quite yellow which is good for Asian skin. I have really yellow/golden undertones and the Nars base products seem to suit me really well. I have the colour Fiji if anyone needs a reference. I'm in between Mac NC20 and NC25.
the colour matches me very well. When you first apply it it MAY seem a little light but after it settles for like 10 mins it should match fine. I also noticed that this foundation doesn't oxidise which is a plus. Ain't nobody got time for your face to become orange at the end of the day.
The foundation also photographs nicely :)
Coverage wise, it's medium buildable. I have tried it with a stippling brush, my fingers and a Beauty Blender. Using a brush gives a higher coverage compared to the Beauty Blender. It evens out my skintone fine but because I use a light layer, some of my dark acne scars can still be seen.

The cap doesn't fit properly after you open it. Like the cap doesn't align with the bottle when it's screwed tight. It's not only my bottle though because I've checked with others.
Foundation also doesn't come with a pump which is quite ridiculous to be honest because you're paying freaking 72 SGD for this foundation. It holds the usual 30ml of product.
The pump costs 10SGD and I bought it because I have OCD. If you're fine with pouring the foundation out from the bottle straight then don't buy it cause 10 bucks for a pump is quite ridiculous. Also, the pump doesn't even have a cover.... but it has a lock so you don't have to worry about pressing the pump accidentally.

Using fingers to blend the product helps it melt into the skin because of the warmth. The coverage is slightly higher than a beauty blender in my opinion.
This foundation sets to a dewy finish. Not matte at all. Please bear in mind I have combination skin.
It transfers a little when I dab my face with a tissue so you must make sure to set it with powder. It gives off a really nice finish but for my skin, especially in Singapore with the humidity, I had to blot like once or twice during the day which is normal. It doesn't control oil very well. It doesn't claim to anyways so it's fine to me.
All in all, I really like this foundation because the colour is really perfect for me. It's so hard finding a foundation match for my skin like I've mentioned before and I really love the Nars colour range.

Coverage wise is alright for me.
Side note: I feel like this foundation works better for me when my skin is not blemished and spotty. So I would say for it to work perfectly, you would need to have good skin already.
I could also be a little bias la because Nars is one of my favourite make up brands HAHA but this foundation in my opinion would be suitable for dry, normal or combination skin. For those with oily skin it might work if you set with a good powder. Even if you're not oily I would suggest setting it with powder anyways.
Hope this review was helpful!!
