Review: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

I know, another Nars product. I can't help it. So today on the list is the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation. This product says its great for normal to dry skin types. I call bulls**t cause I have oily skin and this foundation works great for me as well! I have to say its on my top 5 favorite foundations. This little baby comes in 16 shades so the chances of you finding a shade for you is very possible. If I can find one for my pasty pale skin you can! Now onto the foundation itself. This foundation has a satin finish which is why I love it so much. When I say satin finish i mean that it isn't matte, and it isn't dewy. It is the perfect balance in between. I would say it has a medium coverage that can be built up to a full coverage. Now from researching this product I would say my description wars with the description on sephora.com. Sephora says that it is a satin finish with a sheer coverage. Sorry Sephora but a tinted moisturizer is sheer, not this foundation. Maybe think about reevaluating? This foundation for me lasts long on the skin, my oil may break through in areas around my nose or chin but i'm ok with that, it just looks "dewy" and not greasy! Being as pale as I am, I am in the lightest shade "Siberia".
My only problems with this foundation are as follows: It is neither sheer nor glowy, It doesn't have a pump dispenser, and its $44. Now I'm the type of person that if I think you should indulge more in one makeup item it should be your foundation. After all, if your skin doesn't look its best, the rest of your makeup will be ignored. They will only be able to look at the flaws in your skin. So I will invest in the good looking skin. I urge you to go to your local sephora, or Nars counter and ask them to match you for a shade and get a sample to see if you love it like I do. I have a video posted above from a recent foundation routine I posted to my Youtube channel so you can see this baby in action!! xx
