NARS Sheer Glow Foundation Review

NARS SHEER GLOW

hey guys, though i might do a review on NARS sheer glow as it is a popular selling foundation at the moment and i bought some recently.

                                                     Punjab and Barcelona(with the pump)

rating: 4.5/5

• Punjab- medium 1= Mac nc 30/35 -  medium golden peachy undertones(peachy olive tinge)
• Barcelona-medium 4= Mac nc 40/42 - medium golden peachy undertones(more brownish olive tinge)
• SAMPLE of Stromboli- medium 3 = Mac nc 35/37 - medium with olive undertone

Well i bought 2 shades of the foundation as i have been looking at the NARS sheer glow quite alot on the NARS website and i got some samples of a few colours from Mecca Maxima to test before buying just to make sure the shades we right. 

TONES

I bought Barcelona for the hot weather today and Punjab for the colder less sunny weather mid last year (aus) and they both have the same undertone colours except one is a darker version of the other. I tried a sample of the Stromboli and i found it was too yellow and not brown/peachy enough. the sample came in this little container which lasted about 3 wears for full coverage. right now it has some Barcelona sample that i got last week. 

ON SKIN

I find the foundation doesn’t make me break out too much and it feels light on and soft. sheer glow is made to give a more natural look while it enhances your complexion and it definitely does. even if you get a shade a bit darker or lighter than your complexion it still manages to blend in nicely as it isn’t as thick. also you don’t need like a whole big blob to cover, as i found it spreads and evens out well. 

Once you apply it, it takes a few minutes to set in and it conceals under eyes and around pretty well, though i do recommend getting the primer or concealer if you really want full coverage. i don’t use the primer or concealer because my skin is sensitive and breakouts when i use primer. my skin is dry but oily in the t-zone area. if you don't want it to look like a heavy coverage or more natural, don't use the primer.

DOWNSIDES 

The downsides, you have to buy the pump separate and without it its kinda hard to get the right amount you want. the pump squirts out about the size of a small pea which is the right amount. on dry skin it may not sink in as well as it would on oily or non oily.
