As promised a while ago, heres my review of the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation...
This is a foundation mentioned by so many as a holy grail foundation but I hadn't had the chance to try it, crazy I know being a Makeup Artist but when you find a product your happy with, sometimes it's easy to just buy that same one every time BUT I finally tried it... eventually :-)
The Verdict.... I love it!
The coverage is sheer but buildable which is perfect to show off your skin but cover all the blotches, blemishes you want to hide.
I used this on myself first and found the staying power was pretty good, the more the day went on, the more the foundation gelled with my skin. It obviously doesn't have the staying power of heavy duty foundations like double wear but for a sheer foundation I'd say it was pretty good. My skin is quite red, especially around my cheeks, I have scarring and red marks but this foundation did well to mask them. I needed extra coverage on the super red parts but this did a really nice job on my skin.
The second time I used it was on a wedding in Portugal in the high temperatures of September. This was the real test, to see if the foundation could hold up well on hot skin and have staying power to last all day. All the bridal party had beautiful skin so this was the perfect choice to let their skin shine through. Did it hold out? It did! I was super happy, I stayed for the whole wedding and night part (leaving at 2am) so I had the chance to really see how the makeup held.
After seeing sheer glow hold out on a hot day I would really recommend this product.
Who wouldn't I recommend this to? People who love a matte finish, a heavy coverage or someone who has particularly oily skin.
