Sheer Glow Foundation - Stromboli (Medium 3 - Medium with Olive Undertone) 30ml/1oz

Product Information

I also have noticed that when I look really closely in the mirror I can see actual product on my skin, minuscule cakey pigments or powders that are just sitting atop of my skin which does get progressively worse throughout the day, I'll explain this in more depth in the Longevity section of my review because I feel like the finish is definitely linked to the longevity too.

Superior blendability for an imperceptible effect that looks natural, like skin, doesn’t look or feel cakey, heavy, drying or masking. My other foundation shades I alternate between and use in my Summer Base Edit post (Tom Ford, Laura Mercier and MAC shades I use).

Sheer Glow Foundation is also a great clean-up tool: use it with a concealer brush under the eyes and around the lips to make sure lines are crisp and picture-perfect. It also lives up to its weightless name, as the formula is so thin I can hardly feel it on my face, even though its obvious I'm wearing foundation due to the coverage. I also have a bit of pigmentation around my mouth, and sometimes it does look ashy with certain foundations!

The sponge obviously absorbed a little extra product so I had to use more, but with a brush it didn't sit on the skin as nicely and looked a little more cakey than the sponge application. Lift cap straight up (do not twist) to expose pump, then dispense 1-2 pumps of Light Reflecting Foundation and warm with fingertips. Another great thing is that the pump is also controllable so if you want to dispense a teeny dot (like I usually do) then you can!

I've watched a fair amount of reviews and I've noticed that those with very oily skin get really oily with this foundation and have given it a pass, these oily skinned reviewers then go on to say that this foundation will work for those with dry skin but I feel like this foundation will drag and get cakey on those with dry skin and I don't think it'll look very natural but more on the finish later. I'll be honest I did have quite high expectations for this foundation since it is Nars after all, I test a lot of foundations out and have seriously noticed how advanced beauty companies have become with their formulas so I didn't expect any less from Nars.
