Sheer Glow Foundation, Medium, Santa Fe, 1 Fl Oz (B002NZXKMK)

The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation is my go-to foundation in the evening. I sometimes use it during the day, too, but always with a damp makeup sponge to keep it sheer and light. But with a dry sponge or my foundation brush ( Sigma Beauty Flat Kabuki - F80 )-- my all-time makeup secret--it's a dream come true. It's provides intense coverage, a great, even coloring and for Asian skin like mine with olive and yellow undertones, it creates a flawless look that is camera-ready. I use the color "Punjab" but keep in mind that I'm quite dark-skinned for a Korean. But this particular one requires no neck-blending because it's just perfect in coloring. I have 3-4 regular foundations I keep on hand for different purposes -- like one for days when I know I'll be photographed (Chanel!) and others for outdoor activities or events where I know I'll get hot, and another where I want to look as natural as possible, or when I feel like my skin looks pretty outstanding on its own, a BB cream. And then the NARS. Of those four, the NARS is probably my most versatile in that what tool I use to apply it can easily make it more or less, depending on my needs. I highly recommend it. You' ll just need to experiment a little with color. Personally, if I guess and I'm off by a little, I just mix with a foundation of the right color to blend it to the ideal color, so no big deal. I have plenty that are a little too dark, or a little too light, and that's what I keep those for! I just wish the cover was usable with the pump that I bought with it! Alas, it's not, so the pump stays exposed--which isn't such a big deal but ideally, I could put a cover over that pump. Oh, and a little secret for those of you with oily skin like me: a few spritzes of this item below along with NARS Sheer Glow and a fresh application of Ben Nye Banana Powder--and you can leave your compact powder at home for a full day without an ounce of shine. SPRAY: Ben Nye - Final Seal 8 Fl.oz./236ml.

I absolutely love this foundation makeup! It is easy to apply and it lasts for hours. It is absolutely my go-to foundation.

I really like this foundation - it's lightweight and provides great coverage, blends well and doesn't settle into fine lines. I have pretty dry, sensitive skin and this product gives my skin a nice dewy glow that lasts all day and into the night! I switched over to this from Tarte Face Tape Full Coverage foundation after being really unhappy with my last couple of bottles and have been so much happier with this product than I was with Tarte - I use so much less product and get much better coverage that lasts way longer, it doesn't dry out my skin like Tarte did, and it blurs and covers fine lines while Tarte seemed to accentuate them. The shade I purchased, Mont Blanc, gives a very natural appearance, as well. The only complaint I have is with the applicator thing it comes with. It looks like the little brush that's attached to the inside of a nail polish lid (this one is also attached to the lid of this foundation bottle), but unlike nail polish brushes, this one is stiff and awkward. I apply this foundation using a makeup sponge but getting the actual product out of the bottle and onto the sponge is way more annoying than it should be. But that's really my only complaint and it's something that can easily be overlooked for such an otherwise amazing product.

Update: After using it for a few days, I want to upgrade this to 4 stars instead of 3. It is moisturizing and doesn't gather around fine lines! It has a super easy to spread gel/cream smooth consistency that's very nice. Just keep in mind it applies light and oxidizes to 3/4 shade darker and w/ me it settles into my ski shade nicely. One Youtuber who tried on 300+ foundations had Nars as its very top/best foundation so I thought I should give it a try. I'm a Estee L 2N1 but I got a 3N. I expected it to be a bit dewy for some reason but 1st of all, it applied on super light shade. I was shocked but carried through the application with finger tips, then a foundation brush. It applied fine, dried really fast. I looked a bit pale. I swatched it on my arm and compared it with Estee L, so much lighter. Then right before my eyes, the swatched began to look okay on the skin's shade...then it looked exactly like my skin color....obviously it oxidized about a shade. On the face, it looked like it matched the color fine, a bit matte w/ light coverage. It's comfortable, not drying the skin, w/ just a tad of feeling you have foundation on. Don't get the "light reflecting" claim. I do have dryish/normal skin so I really don't think it will turn dewy on me. I will use it daily. It's kind of good but not wowing. Might update if it improves on me.

Its as good as people said it is/was. I never bought Nars because I thought the hype was artificial. But I was only disenfranchising myself. Its super lightweight. Its super watery. In fact too watery. But it is pigment that molds to your face and it does not come off easily. Yet does not clog pores, because its super watery. I am very happily pleased. I am so glad I got the chance to try nars. I like it very much.

I am extremely disappointed with its condition. The product appeared to have been previously used, the liquid was leaking badly, and it spilled as soon as I opened it, making a mess on my tiles and sink, which was very difficult to clean. Moreover, the bottle was less than half full, which is unacceptable. Considering the unusable product and the damage caused, I kindly request a replacement or a full refund, and I also believe compensation for the cleanup and inconvenience is appropriate.

Amazing full coverage foundation

My new favorite foundation. Good coverage for mature age without being too much. The finish is more dewy and the skin looks glossy and young :)

This long wear foundation of Nars is the best and my go to make up foundation.

Nice coverage, cheaper than mecca

Perfeita

Amazing foundation , great quality

The product I found bit greasy, powder after application is compulsory and makeup fix is also compulsory. Coverage is good.
