As my obsession with foundation grows and grows, it was only a matter of time before I tried Nars Sheer Glow Foundation! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!!!
Nars Sheer Glow is a lightweight, hydrating foundation that feels luxurious and creamy as it's applied to the skin. It's billed as suited for normal to dry complexions and I found it almost perfect for my dry skin. As it sets, it imparts a satiny glow to the face. My only complaint is that the shade I was matched to, Deauville, is slightly too yellow for my skintone. The only one who can really tell is me, but still. I tried Mont Blanc (pink undertones) but it is too light. No big deal. It's still gorgeous!

This foundation is expensive ($44) but so versatile. It can be applied very sheerly or built up to almost full coverage. I normally apply with a brush, but it also works wells with fingers or a sponge. Nars also added antioxidants to treat and turmeric extract to improve the skin's radiance. In my experience, Sheer Glow wears well and lasted with just minor fading for eight hours. Sheer Glow is one of my absolute favorite foundations and I recommend it to anyone with normal to dry skin. In the picture below, I'm wearing a fairly heavy application due to some preparation for another tutorial but it is quite lovely when applied sheerly.

I loved this review as I've wondered about this product for awhile now! And I have normal to dry skin, and am closer to 40 now than 30- sounds like a homerun for me! Looks gorgeous on you!
