My Thoughts On: Nars Sheer Glow

I'm sure everyone has heard of this foundation and I'm sure you are all sick of all the reviews about it on the internet however I feel like I need to add my two cents worth. I purchased Nars Sheer Glow with high hopes as all the reviews I read raved and raved and raved about it. I first tried it in winter, while I liked it I never had the 'wow this is amazing' impression about it. I tried it without primer, with primer, during the day and during the night. I have to admit it is 'okay' for a night time foundation and in the day it would sometimes fade and patch on me. It wasn't until I tried it in the summer that my hate for it grew. I was shopping with some friends and went to top up my lipstick and noticed this foundation had caked all around my chin and nose! It was absolutely awful I felt so self conscience about it that I made a made dash to the Selfridges beauty hall to purchase a new foundation and asked the girls there to take off all the foundation I was wearing and replace with the new one.

I think this foundation is simply too drying and heavy for my skin. I could have a faulty product(?!) But I am not willing to spend another £31 to test this theory. It just goes to show how subjective make up is. What works for one person may just not work for another! While I won't completely bash the product because I know some people have high opinions about it but unfortunately it simply just doesn't work for me.
