An important point I need to make with regards to the formula is that I have a fairly strong feeling that this foundation is breaking me out, I'm pretty sure it's this foundation because I've been testing it for a month now and my skin is really congested and spotty now, it wouldn't surprise me to be honest because the Sheer Glow breaks me out too. From my personal experiences with this foundation and my understanding of it's formula (you know I like to dissect formulas), I would say it will work best for those with combination oily skin or for those with a Normal/oily skin type or those with dry but smooth flake free skin, I feel like if you have oily skin it breaks up the foundation and makes it patchy. Right now, what are your top 2 foundations mostly in terms of shade match - my skin tone seems very similar to yours(yellow/olive)but I'm so TIRED of wasting my money on foundations that look so orange!
A brand that needs no introduction, NARS is a definitive cult classic, remaining at the forefront of the beauty world and quickly gaining a permanent place in the hearts (and make up bags! This site, including its owners, operators, and developers is not affiliated with nor endorsed by any beauty brand or any subsidiaries thereof, in any way. Another great thing is that the pump is also controllable so if you want to dispense a teeny dot (like I usually do) then you can! Long time readers may remember I used to use the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation in Punjab (formula is thinner than the new one). A unique combination of translucent base with micronized amino-acid coated pigments and mineral tone balancing powders that mimic skin’s tone, fusing with skin for the closest match.Shades stay true all day with NARS’ exclusive Anti-Oxidation Complex to help prevent color shifting. On myself I find this foundation looks the best when it's first applied and as the day goes on I notice that not only do I get quite oily, but it looks even more cakey than it probably started off with, it also sits in and highlights my pores even more and the foundation has literally separated, faded and disappeared in areas.
It's a lot taller than sheer glow and has a frosted glass effect, to be honest neither are great for travelling but it is what it is.I do know that there are a lot of people that do really like it and at my first ever application (which was at night time mind you) I also did think this was the foundation formula I was waiting for from Nars. Even out your complexion with Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, a sheer to medium coverage foundation with hydrating skincare benefits. Mimics skin’s tone with a unique combination of a translucent base with micronized amino-acid coated pigments and mineral tone balancing powders, fusing with skin for the closest match. This formula features superior blendability for an imperceptible effect that looks natural, like skin.
This is where I said it was linked to the finish, because whether I set it or not the foundation just doesn't look very attractive on me at all after a few hours. I wasn’t able to put it to the test for a full 16 hours, but I have worn this for around 12 hours on several occasions and it holds up pretty well both in doors and outdoors in the sun and at the beach. I own all three of the Nars Foundations and I know the formulas pretty well, an interesting point I'd like to make is that I've noticed that all 3 formulas are not the greatest for those with textured or dry skin, I personally think Nars foundations sit much better on those with smoother and oily skin, this one included. I always test new foundations first with my favourite foundation brush (slanted, flat top kabuki), it did blend in nicely but not as smooth or seamless as other foundations I've used in the past, it needed a teeny bit more effort. The sponge obviously absorbed a little extra product so I had to use more, but with a brush it didn't sit on the skin as nicely and looked a little more cakey than the sponge application.
Perfect for normal and dry skin types, the formula is replete with skin care benefits from the NARS Complexion Brightening Formula which hydrates skin, to powerful antioxidants that protect against free radical damage and turmeric extract to improve skins radiance and tone. As far as I can tell there is no detectable scent, no irritation on my skin, no white flashback with a camera flash. This innovative blend of makeup and skincare instantly blurs imperfections, smooths the look of textured skin, and helps conceal blemishes, dark spots, and redness. You can find the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation at online at Sephora, Ulta and NARS right now. The transfer-resistant, sweat-resistant formula stays colour-true all day, and continues to look fresh and vibrant, as if it was just applied.
