Could this be the best foundation ever..? Nars sheer glow review/foundation match.

Foundation match: I went to Nars in westfield shepherds bush to get a match on the sheer glow foundation.

The guy who helped me was nice, straight to the point and only did was i asked for.

I had no makeup on that day so it would be a correct match, i would advice everyone to do the same!

He first put a colour chart against my face and asked me what section of shade i thought i was (light/medium or dark) I choose medium to which he agreed. He then chose 3 medium shades he thought i might be (fiji,punjab and santa fe), and swatched them in a line near my jaw, and asked me which one wasn't right, to then remove. I chose fiji, and he agreed, it was far too light, and actually is a light shade, its light 5, its too yellow undertoned. I then had to choose from the two that i thought was the correct shade, to which i chose Santa Fe, and he agreed, punjab was too golden.

I thought the way he did it was really great, i think all Nars foundation matches are like this, but it was my first time. I like how they involve you.

Santa Fe is a perfect match for me!

Now to the foundation. Its by far the best foundation i have ever used!

It's £30.50 which yes sounds expensive but compared to most high end foundations its around the same price.

• It's light on your skin
• Easy to apply
• Not thick
• Medium / Buildable
• You only need a small amount
• Lasts all day
• Gives you a nice complexion, not shiny
• Evens out skin tone
• Fragrance free

Its meant for normal / normal to dry skin types, but i have combination skin. My cheeks are normal, forehead and chin can be oily and my nose is mostly dry. I actually find that its better on normal / combination skin types because it can (like most foundations) cling to dry flaky skin. You should exfoliate anyway. 

The only thing i don't like about it is that it has no SPF, but it doesn't effect the foundation so its not that bad, its just a personal preference, its always good to have an spf foundation.

Packaging wise, i think its quite cute and compact. I like the glass bottle and the square shape. It doesn't come with a pump which a lot of people don't seem to like. I personally don't mind that it doesn't come with a pump, its not meant to have a one because it's a foundation that need to be shaken before you use it. Having a pump won't shake the foundation that has been left in the tube from the last time you used it.... but you can buy one for £3 if you want to.

If you want a concealer to go with it and your shade is also santa fe, then 'custard' concealer shade is whats recommended by nars, but try before you buy!

I love this foundation, i cannot fault it.

I will most defiantly be purchasing it again.
