Review: NARS Sheer Glow Liquid Foundation









NARS Sheer Glow Foundation ($42 or 1,650 Baht for 30 ml) is considered as a satin-finish and buildable coverage foundation. It could probably be a beneficial skincare when you use it regularly to brighten and improve your skin texture. It's a light coverage foundation which you can build it as light to medium coverage so you can choose it if you wanna look natural because it's not heavy. Even though it's especially formulated for people whose skin is dry to normal, it works perfectly for my oily-combination skin; therefore, it would suit for every type of skin. As you know, it's named as 'sheer glow foundation', but it's not too sheer and glowy at all; that is, it's not shimmery nor greasy.



Wh
at I liked this product:


  • It's a watery texture so you can easily apply it by both your fingers and foundation brush.

  • If you are looking for a light to medium coverage, it's the best choice for you since it moderately camouflages your blemishes on your face. I guarantee it's not too heavy for sure.

  • It works great if you want your look to be dewy but it doesn't make your face oily or greasy like other brand products.

  • My skin is absolutely oily but this stays on my face the whole day though it's a liquid foundation.

  • It's completely fragrance-free so you can be sure of not being allergic to it.


What I didn't like this product:



  • It costs around 1,650 Baht without the foundation pumper that means you have to separately buy the pumper which costs 300 Baht. So, it could have been a little more thoughtful for me to put in a pump. I mean seriously I would have to buy the pump eventually, but for now I just put my fingers on the lip of the bottle and apply it with foundation brush.

  • It doesn't work well if you apply it with a sponge because of its watery texture.

  • The cap of the bottle, a NARS trademark, is always made of matte rubber. Even though it's classy, it's not practical since it's prone to be a dirt and a smudge magnet so it's kinda difficult to clean.



  • The color shade of NARS Sheer Glow Foundation is confusing a bit. As you can see the showing picture, I found something unusual that Ceylan is actually lighter than Fiji, considering that Fiji is described as 'light' and Ceylan is described as 'light to medium' on the NARS website so it really made me confused.




I highly recommend such a great foundation to anyone who is looking for the best dewy foundation (at least for me haha) with light to medium coverage. Though its price is kinda expensive, you can use it for a long time and the effect is really gorgeous so it's very worth buying it. Honestly, I'm absolutely in love with this product. Unless I find something better, I'll buy this again for sure! Let's check it out at www.narscosmetics.com or every department store.

PS. Every your comment and suggestion is really useful for me to improve my next blog.

  2. @Lookkaew,, It's my favorite foundation and I think u should try it out as soon as possible. Trying to get sample from Thai counter is not the recommended way because most BAs hardly give it to customers. It's absolutely different from abroad!!!

  4. @Jip... Thanks for your good questions.
    1) u can use NARS sheer glow for a commencement day but i recommend u use it with base-primer I mean u should apply primer first because it's gonna help your makeup long last the whole day even the oily skin can do so your look is gonna be perfect surely

    2) Im so sorry that i cant show my pics when I apply it since I just had a laser therapy the previous day so my skin should be cured during this week. If my skin is in good condition, I'll probably post my pic because I really wanna show u how it is great!

  8. Big, you did a good job reviewing this product. Thanks for explaning the advantages and disadvantages of the foundation. It's really helpful. Actually, I've never used a liquid foundation. Your review convinced me to go for it but the only thing holding me back was the price. lol Anyway, I should give this a try.

    I constantly follow your blog, keep up the good work
