One of my favorite foundations. I can choose light or medium coverage from this - depending upon how I apply it. For a light coverage, usually when at home and not needing as much on, I dot on a...

Nars Sheer Glow is a lovely foundation but the name is a misnomer. It’s not sheer or glowy. However I was able to get a good match in Gobi and I’ve been experimenting with diluting it with primer...

I have heard of this foundation for years but never used it. My skin has never agreed with a NARS foundation before. I have used the old school YouTube dupe for it, Neutrogena healthy skin, and...

"Sheer" and "Glow" are very misleading. The coverage is anything but sheer (medium at best) and the finish is matte, almost powdery which is NOT a good look on 60-year-old skin. The shades for...

The initial coverage is beautiful and very natural, my skin but better look. I would call it a medium coverage foundation. It's very easy to apply. Just use your fingers, you don't need any other...

I always end up coming back to this foundation. It’s my favorite foundation to feel glam and like I have perfect skin. I have a lot of redness and some acne scarring, and with sheer glow I don’t...

Pros: Not a lot, sadly. It has a nice shade range I suppose. And it doesn't feel cakey. Cons: The product stays on the skin for about 1 hour or so. It oxidizes into a darker reddish shade and the...

It's a good foundation! That's it! It isn't something special. A normal drugstore foundation will do the same job! I do like it, but I am knocking of 2 lippis because it is very expensive!
