NARS Sheer Glow Foundation Review

*DISCLAIMER : These are just my opinions, I understand that there are many reviews on this foundation. If you do not agree with the review, please press the red cross at the corner of your screen*

Today I'll be reviewing the oh - so - famous NARS Sheer Glow Foundation.

Pricing: I bought the foundation at Mecca Cosmetica for AU$68.00. However, I believe that Mecca has reduced their prices recently and the Sheer Glow foundation currently retails for AU$59.00
*American prices can be found on Sephora*

Colour range: I've been using the shade (MEDIUM2 : SANTA FE) which has a slight pink undertone.     Honestly, this foundation was an impulse buy as the shade that initially matched me (LIGHT TO MEDIUM : CEYLAN) which had a yellow undertone was out of stock so I went for the second closest. I was really quite shocked that SANTE FE matched me so well considering my asian skin.

Application: I believe that many bloggers and you-tubers have mentioned that Sheer Glow is applied best with a beauty blender. However, us Aussies don't have access to the original beauty blender. I use a Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush and love the application of it!

Finish: I definitely have combination skin but mostly oily. The word GLOW really scared me when I tried this foundation and I was leaning towards the Sheer Matte. However, the finish on this foundation is absolutely gorgeous. It wasn't too oily or dewy. It literally, makes you glow!

Coverage: I have acne scars and hyper-pigmentation. The coverage for this foundation on me is Medium. Some would argue that it's full coverage but it's not the case for my skin.

Volume: Standard one fluid ounce.

PROS
- Huge colour range if you have a pink or golden undertone
- Beautiful finish
- Suitable for winter (I'm yet to try it during summer)
- Doesn't break you out (May be different depending on your skin)

CONS
- Expensive (However, in comparison to other high end foundations it's not too bad.)
- No pump! (This really annoyed me as it gets way too messy and so much product is wasted. But apparently you can buy a pump separately for it so I'm definitely gonna hop on that bandwagon!)
- Colour selection in Australia isn't fantastic for skin with yellow undertones

Rating: I rate NARS Sheer Glow Foundation an 8/10. It definitely lives up to it's name and I don't regret buying it at all. It's worth the price that it retails for and is perfect for everyday wear and even a special occasion. It would definitely be a 9/10 if the packaging had a pump! :(
