    I have now had my bottle 4 months, it doesn't take much of it to end up with the perfect coverage, the shade "mont blanc" is the one that suits my skin tone the best currently, it doesn't feel heavy on my skin, applies very nicely with a beauty blender and works well with my cream contour pallets

    I do love this foundation but it's not right for my oily skin. The coverage and colour match are fantastic for me but I find that halfway through the day my skin looks super oily. I have friends with dry skin who use this and don't have that problem so I know it's because of my skin type. I'm thinking I. Have to switch to NARS matte foundation which should suit me better. I really love everything in this line and the colour match is better for me than most so I'm really hoping the matte one works out!

    This is my all time favourite foundation! It's full converge with a beautiful glowy finish. The only downside is I wish it came with a pump instead of having to buy a pump separately! Other than that I love the finish, coverage, wear time and really everything about it!

    I have been using the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation since about November of 2015 and it has turned into my holy grail foundation. It has a very light coverage but it is easy to build up as well. It really makes my skin look nice and healthy. The only downside is the price since it does retail for $45.00.

    I bought this foundation at sephora. It was recommended to me because of my dry skin. The foundation did not help that at all and oxidizes quickly. Do not recommend.

    I absolutely adore this foundation and it is one of the very few I would highly recommend. It has a wide variety of shades, which fit my medium skintone perfectly. It is medium-to-full coverage, which allows me to cover up any blemishes and imperfections without looking like I'm wearing a ton of makeup. Even though it's called sheer it really isn't and i think the name is more relevant to the feel on your skin because it's very breathable. I have dry skin and Nars sheer glow is moisturizing and doesn't settle into the lines of my dry skin or make it look bad. I use a beauty blender and/or a foundation brush to apply it and each and every time it looks beautiful !

    I normally love Nars products, but this one was an exception. I heard good reviews about this, but for some reason, the colour selection was not great in my case (slightly too light or too dark), and the coverage was a problem. I can usually wear fairly sheer foundation (i.e BB creams, tinted moisturizers), but this one applied unevenly and really magnified the pores on my nose. Would not buy it again.

    You know there is so much to recommend when it comes to this product, but at almost $60 for a bottle, it's extremely overpriced. Because of the ridiculous price, I would not be buying this again, but I do recommend it for people who don't have an issue with the price tag.

    I like that there is a range of yellow golden tones available, which cannot be said for other foundation lines. The coverage is very good, but still not so heavy that it ends up being mask like. I do notice that by the end of the day, it does start coagulating on my skin and doesn't look as good as it did when it was first applied.

    I have gotten compliments on how healthy and glowy I look when I am wearing this foundation. It does provide a very nice smoothness to the skin. Having said that, my drugstore priced Maybelline foundation also does the same thing!

    I bought Sheer Glow this past summer. I loved the colour match and the way it looks from the start, but didn't really want to apply it with my hands all the time (which is what you're meant to do with this foundation). I tried using my Beauty Blender, foundation brushes, and with 2 different primers underneath, and most of the time it would end up looking super cakey and sunken into my pores, if not immediately then definitely after a few hours.
    It took some time to realize that not using any primers, and just taking a tiny dab and warming this between my fingers is THE only way to apply this foundation - it goes on so perfectly and wears so much longer! It doesn't get all weird around my pores, doesn't fade too much, and only starts to settle a little bit around my mouth/"laugh lines" by the end of the day.
    The finish of Sheer Glow is what I truly love. It perfects the skin so much, but it also looks natural. It's ethereal in a way - like the skin is glowing with health and youth. It isn't actually a luminescent or dewy foundation, but it definitely has that feel. In my opinion the coverage is a pretty decent medium - it covers a lot of my imperfections and hides under-eye darkness pretty well, but not completely.
    This foundation doesn't have a noticeable scent (to me) and it doesn't cause me any breakouts or dryness.
    The shades available are so decent - there are cool tones AND warm/yellow tones to choose from, which I really needed - Gobi is pretty perfect for me.
    Because I have to apply this with my hands, it seems to take a bit longer than if I was using something like a sponge or brush, and I have to be more careful that I've blended properly and haven't missed any areas! Also, the packaging could be better. It looks amazing, but the black rubberized material they use on the cap can get messy pretty fast if you're not careful, and most importantly there is no pump included. There is one available separately, but I didn't see it when I purchased this. The formula seems a tiny bit thick at first, so it isn't easy to pour out, and it just seems to waste product and mess up the bottle.
    Apart from those two things, I really love this foundation! It is definitely worth the price, for how it performs (when applied correctly) and how it looks. I love the finish, and the way it looks on me in photos is gorgeous. I would definitely recommend others to check this foundation out!
