Product Rave: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

I decided to try NARS Sheer Glow foundation after hearing a rave review by one of my favourite YouTube beauty gurus, Tanya Burr (also known as pixi2woo, but I'll blog about her and some other YouTube faves another day). Tanya said that she prefers Sheer Glow above every other foundation she's tried, which is quite a persuasive selling point given that she receives foundations everyday, from both luxe and budget brands, to try and review!

NARS isn't available very widely in Australia but you can find it at Mecca Cosmetica, both in store and online. I popped into the Mecca boutique at Chadstone to test the NARS Sheers Glow and check out the colours. I was colour matched to Santa Fe and (to my surprise) given a little sample pot to take home and try. I highly recommend going in to Mecca to find your colour, rather than relying on the swatches on the NARS site.

After trying NARS Sheer Glow at home for a couple of days, I was hooked. The formula is extremely lightweight, beautifully silky and highly blendable. Although sheer, this foundation is highly pigmented so it blends away redness and imperfections without looking heavy. Sheer Glow is an incredibly beautifying foundation- it leaves your skin looking moisturised, youthful and radiant.

This is the ultimate foundation- my search is over! I purchased Santa Fe (a light golden tan) for summer when I fake tan and Deauville (a neutral light shade) for winter when I'm pale.

Unfortunately, in Australia NARS is ridiculously expensive- Mecca charges AU$99 for 30mls. Due to the quality of this product, I would pay AU$99 (slightly begrudgingly) but you can have it shipped from the US and take advantage of Australia's booming exchange rates!

Check out Kiss and Makeup, they carry the entire NARS line.

Next time bronzers!
