How you all have been doing? Today I will be reviewing my favorite foundation at the moment #NARS Sheerglow foundation. It's been so humid in Delhi lately. There is no point of applying makeup as it is going to melt down what so ever. But this is an exception. It has been keeping up even in this weather. So let's get on to the review.

Texture
The texture of the foundation is not very runny and not very thick. It is somewhere between the both. It spreads on to the skin very smoothly and blends in very easily. I have used it with a brush but I think it works best with a sponge. It suits well to my combination skin and stays on for more than 6 hours which I believe is a great wear time in this muggy weather. It does not feel heavy at all and lets my skin breathe. It doesn't hydrate my skin but also never made it dry. I do sweat a lot but I don't know how the sweat just seeps through the foundation without letting it budge.
Shade
I have the shade #Fiji which is a bit lighter for my #NC35 skin tone. But lately I have been obsessed with bronze glowing skin so I use a lot of bronzing powders on top of this foundation to achieve the desired shade. I think the shade Punjab would suit my skin better.
Coverage
I would say it is a medium to somewhat full coverage foundation. It does cover my acne scars to some extent with one layer. I must say that it is quite buildable as it does not look cakey even after 2 layers. It did not hide my dark circles even after two layers but I don't think foundation is meant for that purpose.
Overall, I am quite impressed with this foundation. It is a bit pricey but you need very little amount for the whole face and neck. Also I would suggest all the dry skinned beauties to moisturize your face very well before using this as it could be a bit drying and will cling on to the very dry patches.
For oily skin, this needs to be set with powder. If you want a dewy look then apply powder only to your t zone.
The yays...
- Texture is well suited for humid weather
- Doesn't feel heavy
- Medium coverage with one layer makes it perfect for daily wear
- wear time is good
- does not budge
- Shade selection is good
- Suits almost all skin types
- Packaging is not travel friendly
- very dry skinned ladies ladies need to moisturize before using this
- Pricey
- Not full coverage(could be a downside for some)
- Not easily available in India
Do I recommend this?
Yes, to everyone who wants a light weight medium coverage foundation
Yes of course..
My ratings- 4/5

Stay blessed:-*
