I used to be someone who was constantly changing their foundation, I'd get half way through the bottle (or sometimes not even that far) and decide that I no longer liked the foundation. It went patchy, or rubbed off, or made my face look greasy, were three common problems I had with nearly all of the foundations I bought. However, I have been using
Nars Sheer Glow for over a year now and I haven't experienced any of the usual problems that I have with foundations.

Nars Sheer Glow isn't aimed towards my skin type (oily-to-normal), the foundation is actually for normal, normal-to-dry and dry skin types. I was surprised about this because Nars Sheer Glow works better on my skin than any of the foundations I've tried which were specifically designed for my skin type. This foundation I'd say gives light-to-medium coverage but is definitely buildable if you're needing more coverage or more coverage in certain areas. Nars Sheer Glow is a dewy foundation that makes your skin look fresh and luminous but also natural - almost like you're not wearing any foundation. Due to this foundation not being aimed at my skin type, it can sometimes get a bit oily around my t-zone area; particularly if I've been quite active during the day or wearing this foundation for around 10 hours, but applying a layer of powder foundation to the oily areas sorts that out.
Already being half way through my SECOND bottle of Nars Sheer Glow (which is unheard of for me!) it's fair to say that I'm enjoying life on Nars and don't plan on swapping this foundation for a new one any time soon. For someone who has tried nearly every foundation under the sun and was constantly searching for a better one it's a relief to have finally found my perfect match. What is your perfect foundation?
I love this foundation so much - it makes my skin look amazing xx

Yes it's great! It looks really natural x
DeleteIt looks so nice on you! I'm kinda reluctant to try nars sheer glow based on sheer amount of love this gets from oily skinned gals (I have dry skin). It's such a great feeling when you find a perfect match though, I'm hoping I can absorb some good foundation vibes from you haha.

It's designed for dry skin so it should work, however, I've tried many foundations for oily skin and they haven't worked very well! Maybe see if you can get a tester before buying a bottle of it x
DeleteThis foundation looks lovely, your skin looks perfect and so dewy! Is it okay for sensitive skin? :D Now following you on GFC! xx

Thank you! I love the look this foundation gives, I personally don't have sensitive skin so I'm not sure but I've read reviews from people with sensitive skin and this foundation seems to work well for them x
DeleteI've heard so many good things about this foundation *goes online shopping to see where I can get it* I think it's time I tried a new foundation! It's great to read it works well on oily skin as well as that's a real struggle with me. Love your blog :)

It is and it comes in 19 shades so there's likely to be a shade for everyone! x
