Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, Punjab/Medium, 1 Ounce

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.

Truly the best foundation I have ever used on my 58-year-old skin. I would say medium coverage but buildable, not cakey, not dry, not oily- and it gives you a lovely glow that’s not shiny. Yay! I use it on my entire face, and then add a tiny bit of concealer on top of it under my eyes. Worth the price, hype and believe the 5 star reviews.

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.

This foundation is gorgeous on my dry, mature, sensitive skin. It “melts” into my skin and leaves a youthful glow, improves texture and evens out skin tone. It’s light and breathable. I bought Yukon 2.5 and the match is spot on for my neutral to slight peach complexion. I use NARS tinted moisturizer in the color Gotland (which I love) and this reflecting foundation is a lot like the moisturizer but has more coverage, not as thick and the color is an even better match for me. Major downside… (and why it only gets 4 stars) serious flaw with the cap. I’ve seen others complain about this too. Once you get the bottle open, you can’t close the cap. It also has some kind of dropper that’s not functional at all. Lucky for me I had an empty, old foundation bottle I was able to clean and transfer the new product to, WITH a functional top! Otherwise, I would have been forced to return it as the product would have spoiled much sooner. Hopefully the company is fixing this issue cause the product is perfect but the packaging is useless. I would recommend buying this product if you are looking for a lightweight, gorgeous foundation but you should probably purchase a pump lid or have an old empty foundation bottle you can use to transfer the product. Just in case you have the same experience as me, and others. Pain in the ass but it works!

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

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