Hello again! I am back with another foundation review ... I am always on the hunt for the 'perfect' foundation to give the appearance of healthy flawless skin , I think your foundation really makes a difference in your makeup as it is your base to build upon and work with. If you have read my previous blog post Guide to finding the right foundation for you! you will have read about the three foundations I love and would recommend but this one from Nars truly blows them out of the water now ! I absolutely love this foundation and it is by far the best one I have ever tried. There was so much hype about this foundation a while back and I guess I have been missing out, having only just purchased it a few weeks ago when I was in London. What can I say , it is a pretty pricey foundation retailing at £31 from stores such as Space.NK and House Of Fraser ... But without a doubt completely worth every penny!
We all want that flawless face that this foundation can easily provide , the glow element is just a extra bonus ! The more layers of the foundation you apply , the more the luminosity of the formula can be noticed which is truly stunning. Despite having ' Sheer ' in its title, this foundation is definitely a medium coverage that is buildable to full coverage; I would say that if you mixed the foundation with a moisteriser you would be able to get more of a sheer coverage if that's what you were after ... So really you can't go wrong with this foundation can you? The title is a little misleading as you would primarily assume the foundation is very light and sheer , however it is a thick consistency to me. This doesn't bother me as you don't feel weighing you down on the skin and it doesn't cake up if applied properly.
I would only recommend this to those with normal- dry skin as the dewy finish will amaze you and the formula is naturally hydrating; the formula would be a hot mess on oily skin and would just slip and slide off. If you are oily and now feel left out there's no need to panick, Nars do have a sheer matte foundation formula which has all the same benefits as this one, just without the glow which of course you wouldn't need! Don't worry girls Nars has got your back!
My favourite way to apply this foundation is to use my real techniques expert face brush and push the foundation into the skin using pressing motions , this helps to achieve more of a full coverage look.
I also like to use my C404 Small duo fibre face brush to buff this into the skin using light circular motions ; this application method achieves a medium coverage with a beautiful airbrushed finish that really compliments the luminosity of the foundation.
Here is a selfie I took after using the foundation, I have finished off my makeup with other products but did not need to use a concealer for my dark circles as the foundation coverage is amazing ! Oh and just incase you were curious , my shade is in Stromboli , it matches me perfect as the undertone of the foundation is warm and yellow based. Nars has a huge variety of shades so there will be a perfect match for you too!
Thank you for reading the blog post , let me know what you think and also what your favourite foundation is ... Id love to hear from you! Xxx
