NARS Sheerglow foundation First Impression

NARS Sheer Glow First Impression

If you're like me, then you are always on the hunt for that perfect foundation. Right?  Here is my dilemma, I find a foundation that I think is perfect; use it for a few months and then decide that I don't really like it.  Or I feel that it isn't doing what I need it to do.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Well, I recently had been using NYX Invincible Full Coverage foundation and I like it.  It was similar (or at least I felt at the time) to Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation, but the price for the NYX foundation fit my budget better.  So, I had been using the NYX foundation for about 2 months when one day I squirt some of the product out onto my finger to start applying when it happened.  A clear liquid first came out and then the color.  It appeared as if the product separated!  I shook the tube up and tried it again and this time the product came out like it is suppose to come out.  So, I went about applying it and it just was not working.  It didn't blend smoothly, the color appeared "off", and little muddy......it just wasn't working.  Now, I very well could have gone back to Ulta and repurchased another tube of the NYX foundation, but I thought it would be a great opportunity to try something new.  

I had heard of the NARS Sheer Glow and even watched some reviews of the product on YouTube, but I had yet to purchase this product because it does have a hefty price tag - $45.00.  But after watching a lot of positive reviews, I went ahead and trekked over to my local Sephora (Ulta does not carry NARS products) and made my purchase.  Now, I do not typically visit my local Sephora - not because I don't like Sephora or the products they offer, but because the customer service is poor. And the day I went to purchase my NARS foundation was no different.  So, I was left to myself to pick out my match for my foundation.  It took a while because A. The lighting in makeup stores is always just crappy and B. some of the colors were so similar that it was just hard to tell my best match.  Anyways, the color I chose is Medium 1 Punjab.  (I was unable to get my YouTube video to upload so I'll keep trying so you can see my exact reaction to this foundation)

So far, I really like this foundation.  It isn't sheer by a long shot (medium to full coverage), but it gives nice coverage and it is build able.   The shade that I chose is very close to my skin tone, so it looks very natural.  It doesn't look heavy at all.  So far I am very pleased.  I want to keep using it for just a few more days and I'll  be back for an update and photos.  In the mean time - please head on over to my YouTube channel and watch the video!  

Thank so much for stopping by!
